The Feel-Good Part

The story is unique and the mystery part was made suspenseful. The plot and execution were reasonable. The story development was also a good aspect to see. The story had a great premise. The subplot was interesting but irrelevant to the main plot.

The Disappointing Factor

The drama has flaws but they can be looked over. For some people the pacing may seem to be a problem. The storyline of some characters hindered the overall story. Many subplots were introduced but they disappeared and were not shown again.

In-Depth Analysis

The mystery part of this show was adequate. For some characters it felt like storyline was prolonged for far too long. The pacing was exponential for the initial episodes. It deliberately sets the mood even with the minor characters. This drama presented many genres like romance, comedy, mystery, investigation, action and thriller. The ending was abrupt with putting closure to several substories. The narration style and suspense building is brilliant. Every character is interesting. Mirae is a flawed character in this drama. She came as a home wrecker but her transformation was awful. The answers to the mystery were initially given slow. Due to this the audience loose their attention. Somehow, the writer managed to hook into the mystery. This show requires patience to enjoy the drama. The story is build slowly with suspense. It is down to preference. The show didn’t have a wide range of music scores. But ending ost was awesome and it suited the drama well. This drama was a wholesome journey. It is different from the title, it does not revolve around cheating but cheating plays an important role. The ending was open. The show started with a good outline but the take away for this drama would be weary of the writers.

Star Power

The acting was generous. All the actors from the main leads to the supporting cast did a fantastic job. The characters were vibrant and fleshed out.

Overall View

It is a slow paced mystery drama keeping audience engaged. This is a fantastic drama to give a chance.
