This show is hard to rate because the main cast actually did a fantastic job acting, and a lot of the directing/pacing is well done, and the story is even unique, interesting, and at times gripping! But man oh man, the writing (particularly for the main couple) was so obnoxiously stupid, particularly in the second half, it just eventually really ruined the show...
The first half is kinda good, it had plenty of thrilling moments, some mystery, and am interesting premise. As for the characters, it was almost like a guilty pleasure, like the characters are so stupid and immature, but the leads have good chemistry and you want to root for them anyway, and for about 6-8 episodes, I looked forward to the next.
But it quickly degenerated after that to the point of being almost unwatchable. The writing is just so obnoxiously brainless... like characters are doing things that (A) completely conflict with their earlier established character, and (B) no sane human being would do... No amount of willing suspension of disbelief will hold up. It's just lazy, stupid writing at several points to try and force drama.
SPOILERS: At the end of episode 14, after a creepy stalker who has broken into the female lead's house to steal her clothes, tried to break in a second time, terrified and harassed her to the point she doesn't feel safe in her own home, LITERALLY shoved her into a giant pit and tried to BURY HER ALIVE, and stabbed the male lead (almost fatally).... He then calls her and says, "hey, meet me alone in a park at night, or I might hurt your boyfriend again"... and without telling a single person, literally just shows up, alone, at night, to be murdered...
Circumstances happen so she gets saved. The police show up, the psycho escaped again, they'll continue looking for him... and as male lead is driving her home, she's like: "you know what, just let me off here, I can take the bus".... like... I don't adequate have words to describe how infuriatingly IDIOTIC that writing is...
Ultimately, what could have been an interesting, unique show was ruined by repeated moments of horrible, beyond amateur character writing. Really made me hate the show towards the end, even though I had found it entertaining initially.
