Quite a unique plot
First of all, let me say this, don't expect the same level of quality from these short vertically filmed series to a full length drama. That won't be fair at all. So I'm rating this accordingly only comparing this with other similar length series.
Okay, now onwards to review.
Let's address the elephant in the room first, the length of episodes. Direction and editing suffer immensely due to short length, The whole series felt like a trailer on top of trailer. That's how abnormally fast paced this is. Scene change is so abrupt that a lot of time you will be left wondering whether you missed a whole episode? That was my main gripe with this series because rest of the things were quite good.
The plot is unique and original. Storyline had real promise but short episode length never gave it much time to shine. This story had potential for a full length 16 episodes drama easily. 9/10 for story.
Acting/Cast was decent. They acted good in some scenes and then a little bad in some too. ML slightly better than FL though. I do have to commend them for their chemistry though, flawless! 6.5/10 for acting.
Production was quite good unexpectedly. Yes, even with a low budget short series, I didn't see any problems with production. Costumes were good, cinematography was spectacular and sets and locations were quite appropriate. No issues in production. 9/10 for production.
OST/Music was just there. It was neither good nor bad. That is, you won't be remembering it but it sufficiently creates the atmosphere when needed in scenes. 5/10 for music.
And finally the ending, absolutely loved it! This ending upgraded my overall score for this short series by quite a lot.
Overall, its a good watch if you can bear with vertical frame and abrupt scene changes. The whole series will feel like watching a drama with finger always on fast forward button. The best part about this is the story and chemistry. Quite hard to find such a unique story and such well done chemistry. Final rating 8.5/10, upgraded by 0.5 - 1 due to that amazing ending!
