"A series about a couple who’s marriage takes a drastic turn when the phone rings which sends the couple on a journey about themselves and events of the past as they seek a way out of the marriage or a way to protect a loved one!!"

"Minor spoiler comments in this review: This was a 5-star show up til the last episode. I can be forgiving of the middle if the start and end are amazing, but here the drama just needed a good finish for it to stay as one of the best. That's not to say it was bad, I would still recommend watching it, just with a disclaimer that the last episode may come off as ridiculous. It was really sad to see such an amazing plot crumble like that, but we take risks when we stick with a show to the end. 8/10📱🤟🤐"

"I finished the series. I love the series. I wish there were more, but I know this is a limited series."

"I thought it was gonna be an incredibly fresh take on KDramas and highlight a person who doesn't get attention normally. Instead I watched something that I felt I had before and kept trying to trick the viewer that I no longer believed what I watched. There are plenty of times there would be "character deaths" shown explicitly or even just hinted at for then to wind up still alive. Even when you see them bleeding out, then other characters grieving, this show says sike and chucks them back into the story. It felt pointless, cheap, and disappointing. And don't get me wrong I'd be happy the character was alive but it made me no longer trust the narrator here. (Not that there is one it's just how you describe when you no longer believe what you're seeing). It kept me entertained and I finished it. Granted, there were only 12 episodes. Honestly, I thought it was intriguing and the silence they used in the first episode was strong. However, I eventually lost interest at the cliches. Near the end of the show there were incredibly long moments of dynamic shots that bored me. It made me want to do something else so it didn't hook my attention like it needed to. I did enjoy it though. I kept wanting to watch it until about episode 9. Then it slowly stared to die, and I lost interest. The character dynamics are certainly something else. The intricate story they'd woven also managed to intrigue me. Except they'd set characters up for a big reveal and then drop them there. We never got to learn more about them they just had their climatic moments or whatever then were tossed aside. Yes they weren't the main ones but it left a lot of unanswered questions. Having finished it now, I felt like I wasted my time watching it. There was nothing excessively new about it. It was fun to watch and see how it would play out. It did surprise in the beginning but at the end I was glad it was over."

"Started out soooo strong for them to crap on it the last 3 episodes. I was bored towards the end. The ending was utterly and completely unnecessary. He carried the whole show. She was just okay at best lol"

"Loved this show ❤️❤️❤️ It was thrilling show. And when I had to wait for a new episode each week I went straight to it to watch it and I wanted to know what happened next. Wasn’t sure if I would like it but it ended up being one of my favorites and I wish there were more episodes. "

"Promising start, got silly near the end. Would still recommend for anyone who's seen all the really good k-dramas already. One scene to skip in the last episode."

"YES YES YES YES YES. thank you for coming to my ted talk. Nah, but in all seriousness, this is the best drama I’ve ever laid my eyes upon…EVER. From beginning to end it keeps your attention with such a unique storyline. The plot twists are crazy which is WHY I watch kdramas, but this drama ESPECIALLY HAD CRAZY TURNS. I didn’t know how I was going to feel about it at the end but I was extremely satisfied with the ending. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, ever."

"loved it so much but the final episode was disappointing and frustrating, they could have given it a better send off 😕 "

"Easy to binge. I really liked it."
