My Review….

I found this drama quite intriguing. It had intrigue, suspense, and mystery, all woven beautifully into the fabric of the story. The bizarre murders were showcased beautifully and the plot was quite well done. Infact, it managed to hold my attention right from the beginning. However, it did have a little dark atmosphere that highlighted the extent to which humans stoop and how they would literally do anything to survive and thrive. Another caveat, is that this drama’s ultimate climax is a little disappointing, but the story was woven quite well for a one-time watch. So, if you are someone who is a fan of suspense, give this a try. Else, skip it.
