Good premise with a bit of unpredictability. The plot was actually focused and every episode was engaging. The dark tone and lighting choices contributed positively to the overall vibe of the show. Tho this might've been disappointing for some, I appreciate the romance not overshadowing the larger story at hand. Had that been the case it would've been a disservice to the subject matter. I might even look into the webtoon...

The characters were decently fleshed. Their arcs were a bit rushed but ig that's to be expected with thirteen 20 min eps. The execution made Koo Ae Jin's character far more believable than the FLs from True Beauty or MIIAGB. Kudos to the casting team for prioritizing realism, at least in that aspect. The standouts were Shim Dal Gi and Bomin.

CONCLUSION --I'd recommended this show for a quick binge. My only real complaints are 1) This could've been longer so the characters could cook more and 2) The ending felt rushed to the point where impact was subtracted heavily. Would've bumped this up an 8 if the ending was satisfying and something truly thought provoking was left behind but the average rating is appropriate.
