If you enjoy mystery for mystery’s sake, this drama is probably for you. I watched 2 episodes but it failed to peak my interest enough to continue watching. It’s a lot of carrot dangling, but them carrots don’t look all that tasty.
I think it fails for me because it is focused on the negative of our human nature—scheming, betrayal, envy, lust and jealousy—so much so there’s no room for a character to root for.
Perhaps the next couple of episodes will prove me wrong. Do I don’t care? Nope.
