This intricate thriller intertwines multiple timelines and perspectives from its main characters, creating a truly captivating viewing experience. It’s like peeling an onion—each layer reveals not only complexity but also a range of emotions, from sadness to chills. With elements of psychological horror, cult dynamics, mind games, and the supernatural, it dives deep into madness in a compelling way.

The performances of the three lead actors—Yoo Jae Myung, Han Ye Ri, and Uhm Tae Goo—were outstanding. However, Uhm Tae Goo truly steals the show, pulling viewers into his character's twisted mindset (or was it a mind-reading skill?) with his calm demeanor and raspy voice, which adds even more depth to his role.

While this drama isn’t perfect, it effectively addresses how cruelty and abuse can leave lasting scars, especially on young children. It also explores how loneliness, regret, and self-blame can lead individuals to fall into cults, ultimately highlighting how greed can transform a person into something truly evil. It leaves some questions unanswered, but I believe it deserves more recognition and better ratings than it has received.
