This drama is a total emotional heist. It spends sixteen episodes slowly dismantling your heart with some of the most stunning, high-tension "will-they-won't-they" cinematography I’ve ever seen. The middle act is so heavy I genuinely thought I’d be depressed for a month.
My eyes are swollen, my soul is exhausted, and I’ve never felt better.

I was captivated and satisfied the first 3 or 4 episodes and went the downfall right after that, it represented domestic abuse and the victims reactions very well but somehow decided to waste the potential of the series and make it more performative than anything else to help victims of abuse, that ending makes me feel more like victims will always be the ones punished and ignored or not heard, not even by family in law, except one person which is her friend (ride or die friend) and a random man somehow (loved him tho). Who thought that ending would be satisfying? Who would like to see the victim and her friend end up in jail after all that and the abuser's family with just some reputation ruined? I kept watching just because I had hopes and that I was wrong on where I thought they were going with this but I was right, it's truely disappointing.

Also the plot twists are so repetitive it pmo, it kept wasting my time, they wasted so much potential with different types of ending but they chose the worst one. It could have been a good feminist serie about abuse and misogyny or internalised misogyny (Jin-young and her mother) but no.
