I’d give it a 7.5. I looked forward to it every week and enjoyed it, though I was a bit disappointed by the obvious culprit. I thought there might be a twist at some point, but oh well.

The soundtrack was great, especially the three main songs (~fear insiiiiiiiide!!~), and I liked the couple. they didn’t have crazy chemistry but they made it work (I was still a lil bit suspicious of her until the last 30 minutes of the last episode lol)

I do think it would have been better if some parts had been developed more, maybe with 14 episodes instead of 12. There were quite a few illogical and poorly written scenes, which I think came from rushing due to the schedule. I also think the dialogue wasn’t fully fleshed out in some parts. And the logistics, cops, insurance etc lacked consistency and realism in many ways. I took everything with a grain of salt and suspended disbelief = had a great time.

And once again, I think the siren elements were underused. I liked the painting scene about the siren at the end, but it would have been more interesting to see how the MC was viewed as a siren by all the men who were in love with her(!!!) or flesh out the sirens’ bottle stamp thing more! or anything really.

Overall, a good drama, but way too predictable for mystery thriller fans. I was a bit disturbed by PMY’s botox situation at first but quickly got used to it. in spite of the limited movement on her face … I’m sorry but she still surpasses a lot of actors in terms of body language, voice acting and emotion. I hope she is well though :(..

Some really good-looking scenes and touching moments.. ah, the crying scene in episode 11 was beautifully done. I LOVE seeing men lead cry! I cannot get enough of it, i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Give me more, give me more. Kdramas lately don’t show men’s tears enough. (／‵Д′) Come onnnn!!! lmao
