Shorter doesn't mean good
I'm so irritated by this show because it started with such an intriguing and interesting premise and it kept the suspense going for a while before everything became too complicated but ultimately, it had such a cop-out ending that it just made the whole thing underwhelming. I feel like with a better production, not more expensive but better as in better direction and story development, and a better conclusion, this show could've been basically a perfect suspense mystery.
Watch if you like:
1. 10-minute long dramas
2. Gaslighting used in the correct context of its meaning
3. Infidelity plots
4. Sad endings
5.Unreliable narrator stories
6.Mystery/Suspense
Summary: A woman has an accident and afterwards has some trouble with her memory. She then suspects that her husband and best friend are cheating on her. Things get worse when she begins to suspect a deeper scheme at work: that her husband may just be trying to drive her crazy in order to get rid of her!
Plot: Honestly, the plot started so interesting. It was actually mysterious and intriguing and I just feel like the production quality was low and they struggled to perfect the delivery in certain scenes but otherwise, it was good. And to be fair to the creators, the last 4 episodes wrap the story up...it's just that they do it in the dumbest, most convoluted and ridiculous way possible! There is one very simple issue with the completed arc of this story and it's the fact that the linchpin that holds the whole show together is something so unrealistic and illegal that this show can't even exist in the realm of fiction. It's just so dumb that I want to scream at someone about it. But I also don't want to spoil you so -_- Anyway, I would say, it manages to stay afloat but the ending ruined it. It was the equivalent of "it was all a dream" and we all know that's lazy writing.
Acting: It wasn't great. They manage...sort of...but not really!
Music: It was adequate.
Production: Again. I think this show could've thrived in the hands of an auteur director. A lot of the scenes look like they were filmed for a TV ad or some other super low quality purpose but if they had been filmed with intention by someone who knows proper cinematography, symbolism, etc. they would have had high emotional impact. I would actually love to see a better remake of this.
Rewatch: No.
Conclusion: I don't really recommend watching this but I also think most people will enjoy this if they give it a chance and the concepts of the story are among those that usually interest them.
