Ep 1-3

The show lost me because of how exhaustingly slow paced it is. It would have been fine if it was only the pace, but the music and the directing keep you on your toes while the plot gives little to nothing. By the time something genuinely horrifying happens, you are too exhausted to care.

Additionally, I had a hard time rooting for the protagonist who didn't file a report upon seeing very strong evidence of the kid getting murdered. I guess the show was going for #humans-have-faults narrative, but this still felt a bit too morally reprehensible. The MLs livehood not being heavily dependent on the performance of his rental business makes his decision even less digestible.

Ep 1-3.75
The show is beautiful to look at, the acting is generally excellent, and the basic plot intriguing. I put it on pause for the moment, though, mainly because I'm frustrated with:
◾️ The present-day ML not warning his daughter about Psycho Chick. Why would you keep her completely in the dark when she may be in danger? Even if the threat turns out to be nothing, at least she'd be able to take some precautions just in case.
◾️ Why does he let Psycho Chick take over his place? A casual threat about his daughter just isn't enough in my book to let her get away with what she's done, especially if he'd taken my advice (see above). Pile up the plants, the paintings, the drapes, etc. that she brought in and set them on fire.
◾️ It's not so much the fact that he didn't report his suspicions to the police as that his reasons for not doing so seem pretty weak. Maybe there's another reason that hasn't been revealed yet?

A relatively minor, if annoying point: there's no way in hell that twenty years from now Ha Yoon-Kyung is going to look anything like Lee Jung-Eun.

Been awhile since I was last here for reasons... (mainly the lack of enthusiasm for recent kdramas) but this one get me outta my hibernation. Idk I feel like this is one of my favorite netflix original thriller in awhile. The last time i felt so pumped after watching it was Extracurricular I think?

Go Minsi is just awesome like no words. She is back to being as unhinged as her character in Love Alarm and ten times worse. Ep 1-4 were most exciting (when the dad was scared that Seongah was gonna hunt his daughter, those moments was so intense ugh) then smh the (SPOILER ALERT) present timeline w Sangjun's story w his son and stuff seems so out of place and ruins the pace then the next episode picked it up right away which was so muxh fun!!!

9/10 !!! and finally a netflix original thriller that's good!!!!

I've gone back to watching the show, now about halfway through episode 5. I'm still frustrated with the part of the story set in the later time frame, where the plot hinges on a situation that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Why is Yeong-Ha playing cat-and-mouse with Seong-A to get her to leave? Why not do what any normal person would do and have the police remove her from his property for trespassing? He doesn't seem to believe her when she again threatens to harm his daughter, so what's keeping him from kicking her to the curb? If I were in his situation, I'd long ago have sent a crew with a truck to clear out all her stuff, telling them not to worry if they "accidentally" damage some of her paintings. Serves her right.

Other than the occasional brief scene, the show seems to have forgotten the other threads—the situation in the earlier timeline and Yoon Bo-Min's story. I hope they don't cram it all into the last couple of episodes!
