Bibi Mar 17 2025 1:51 pm The storyline is interesting but the plot makes no sense when the villain went around committing crimes yet never being caught .

Kei Feb 26 2025 9:03 am 10 out of 10. Well written and excellent acting. Now this is a drama and I can't believe I only discovered it now

Jamse Dec 27 2024 8:05 pm Have to say this has been a disappointment. Great acting, but the cast was led around on a leash for 10 episodes by

SPOILERS

The psycho Lee Se Na, and when they finally reveal her to the public it doesn’t even occur to them to protect their family members in case she retaliates, which of course she does? ? Anyone who was expecting a Holmes / Watson mystery type adventure is in for a letdown.

green grass so pretty Dec 26 2024 10:34 am I just finished it... recommended, especially for crime/thriller's fan. This drama is well written and the plot also interesting. Yeon woo's acting really got me, hahaha. I wonder why she looks familiar and it's turn out she's an idol. Kim Hee seon for sure slayed her role. Really love the ally between Dr. No and Hong Sa Kang nim.

Kelly Sep 04 2024 10:17 pm What is the SUV that Kim See-Heon drives in the series?

Good Time Jun 30 2024 10:13 am I finished it! It was unexpectedly good, I've dropped a lot of kdramas this year but this one was actually interesting enough to finish. Well done to the cast and team!

No sunsaeng Jun 26 2024 7:18 am Such A Good Drama!!! So well written~ why ratings dropping? The flow and story so good everyone acted so well. Unpredictable and the plot twists had my mind blown.. omg also sometimes quite funny haha never expected it.. wow everyone in the drama is crazy

Good Time Jun 15 2024 5:41 am I'm on episode 7 and so far I'm really enjoying this show. The plotline is not predictable and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I Love MySelf Jun 05 2024 8:42 pm In the beginning, this series start with dense of bitter emotion. Suddenly, start episode 3 until 4, it turn into humurous, comedy things.

AnxiousPom Jun 02 2024 11:44 am Hahahaha episode 3 and 4 suddenly turn into a comedy

Jk May 25 2024 4:50 am Will there be BL between do hyun and tae o

Xylmir May 10 2024 11:41 pm Oooo this one looks good ? I love my crime/thriller dramas

Rachelle May 06 2024 2:04 pm can't wait to see one of my favorite actress, Ms Kim Hee-Seon she's so beautifull and classy

pickle Nov 25 2023 4:33 pm I’m supporting Kim nam hee !!!!!

Rushel Sep 21 2023 3:23 am No idea yet, But the title is intriguing. Lee Hye Young would defini slay the role without a doubt as usual. I’m rooting for Kim Hee Seon and super excited for her comeback after the series “Tomorrow”.

belle Apr 20 2023 4:36 pm plot sounds mysterious but im more drawn to the title. what has gaslighting got to do with the plot? looking forward to this!
