Story: Not new- highly dysfunctional rich family fighting for control. The churn on this is the way it was unfolded with deceit, greed, and sexism on full display. Behind this entire story deals with a cultural phobia & isms that the writers handled superbly! This story is another fine example of how POWER works - power in the hands of a relentless, loyal women.
Acting/Cast: The entire cast was well chosen and perform off the charts. Dir HAN was sublime, cunning and ruthless- perfect as a antihero. Not one disappointment.
Music: Well done and fitting.
RW: Yes!
Overall: This story was had flavors of Christie and Tey, golden age mystery writers who were able to write timeless tales of dysfunctional, greed, deceit wrapped around cultural norms. If you are looking for a drama with less sweet and more substance, this might engage you. Must admit the beginning eps almost got me to drop due to the std trope of rich & entitled asshats getting away with murder & crushing the working man. Well, that's how they got rich right? Go deeper into the eps and you will find yourself hooked on the fulcrum character, she's amazing!
