not a thrilling thriller, but turned out good

A young director with a prestigious award from her first film, will make a second film about the homicide of a family by their own son, because somehow it was related to her own past. It turned out that on her journey in preparing the material for the film, she found many facts that had not even been revealed at the trial. She was also involved with a scriptwriter who apparently had a past related to the case.

Apart from presenting the case that will be made into a film, this drama also presents the two main characters with their own past trauma and their fears in facing sadness and the difficulty of moving on. Their journey in uncovering the facts of the case became a stepping stone for them so that they could gain the courage to face their respective fears.

This is a drama I watched with low expectations and it turned out to be good. Even though it is tagged with thriller genre, this is not the type of drama that gives you a suspenseful sensation, but instead gives you a feeling of empathy. This drama is not the type of suspense drama with an unpredictable plot twist, but the type of drama that can make you moved.

would you kill a person for someone's sake?

I watched this based on mydramalist recommendation from other similar dramas that I like. At first, I thought this was a common suspense drama like usual, but this drama turned out could make my emotions up and down because of the character's bond.

Three teenage girls were bound in a complex relationship. They didn't have a relationship like typical teenage girls at their age, but deeper, their bond was so strong that they even influenced each other in something darker, which is murder. I think that's why they titled this drama 'INFLUENCE'.

The tragic story that became the motives might be not so fresh, have seen such themes in another suspenses, but I love how they made me couldn't predict the story. This only has 5 episodes, so not many emotional roller coaster I felt but the revelation of the truth about how deep the characters cared about each other when I thought they despised each other made me cry.
