Comments

Park Min May 08 2024 5:04 pm While I appreciate its shorter runtime of 10 episodes but I wish it was even shorter for a tighter package. Some side plots didn't fit the narrative and were a mere distraction, such as the female lead's friends personal affairs, not even a good filler. The middle parts were filled with padded sequences. It took a long time before actually getting into what the synopsis describes. From this kind of plot around embezzlement, I would expect somewhat a smarter play and a deeper plot but the drama kept things mostly at a surface-level and borderline making stupid mistakes intentionally to create some tension and invoke a reaction from the viewers. I really like what Kim Seo Hyung has been doing in the past few years, leading projects of characters that fit her are infinitely better than older supporting roles. Anyway, the drama may not rank high but still offers a decent viewing experience for those willing to explore something different.

Sen Mar 24 2023 4:17 pm I don’t know whether to be excited for this, or afraid…. since I already know what happens in the story… I’m just hoping Kim Seo Hyung continues to impress us all. Not in love with this story, but I am looking forward to see her performance in this one.

K Oct 04 2022 9:40 pm Hope this releases sometime soon. I would watch Kim Seohyung read out of a phone book, she's such a talented actor.
