Did he really commit the crime, or is the real murderer still at large? Dive into this gripping mystery to uncover what truly happened that fateful night.

My Review….

I had high hopes for this drama, but despite the fantastic acting, the storyline dragged considerably. It could have been effectively condensed from 16 episodes to just 8. The character development, particularly the grieving father's abrupt shift from despair to greed, felt inconsistent and confusing. Additionally, the narrative placed too much emphasis on one girl while neglecting the other, leading to a disappointing revelation about the second girl's murderer. While the mystery unfolded with new details each episode, the overall pacing felt off. If you're into mysteries, you might enjoy the start but end up fast-forwarding towards the end. As always, the decision to watch or skip is yours.
