Imma have to give this a two star. I only checked this drama out cuz everyone was talking about it but to be honest it wasn't that good. For koreans who regularly watch K-dramas it was really predictable (e.g The old man and the policemans brother). Also there were aspects to the film that just had no use (e.g Like what was the point of keeping the policeman for 8 out of 9 episodes if he was just gonna be killed off. I get that they wanted to do the twist of the masked guy being his brother, but that's such a minor detail that definitely isn't worth 8 episodes). Also K-dramas are all about being deep, and coming together at the end. This show had none of that. I get that they might have second season so they didn't explain everything in the ending. The only reason it gets 2 stars though is because of the refreshing idea and that it did keep people on their toes. With all this being said, the director of the film is very smart, because this only succeeded like this as it was uploaded on netflix not a korean broadcasting show. This show was meant to be a shallow action drama targetted to people who just wanted a I guess asian version of escape room.

Lol imma be honest, I was really hyped for this drama at first because it honestly just looked good right from the start. But imma have to give it a two star. The plot itself is really interesting and there are good scenes that definitely keep you on your toes, but the casting just ain't right. Cha tae hyun and Krystal are the only one that fits right in. Everyone else, their acting firstly is just so awkward, there are so many scenes that require audience to get immersed but their acting is just way too awkward, unrealistic and even cringe. (e.g pretty much every scene that he dad is in and all the scenes where the main character raises his voice.) There are also many scenes that seem unnecessary and its scenes like this that break away from the main plot for no reason. Instead of making the story deeper and more realistic it just feels like a drag. Was expecting this to be a great drama but it just isn't up to standard and I'd rate it somewhere between a C-D tier.
