< Well Executed: Mystery/Thriller >

Mystery/Thriller that I've found interestingly executed and work well for me.

A captivating mystery doesn't necessarily rely solely on surprise; while that certainly enhances the experience, there are other crucial elements that contribute to its quality. The narrative style, cinematography, acting, and timeline are all vital components that truly determine the success of a mystery. Unfortunately, more often than not, the intrigue is executed poorly, resulting in a disappointing outcome.

Feel free to recommend titles to try!

    I translated this drama so that's maybe why I didn't enjoy it as much as most people. But Masaki delivers an impressive performance as usual!

    A beautiful drama about broken people living in a broken system.

    This drama could have been better and almost didn't make it into this list but since it's a rare huis-clos that only happens during ONE night, I thought it was worth adding it.

    It was still a very interesting watch.

    Well that's what you can call an unexpected ending. I'm just speechless about everything. It's amazing how you love then hate all the characters.

    The only issue I've found is that it's hard to tell how much time passes, it looks like months but apparently it's years? It's hard to tell when Fame really start to get famous. And MiuMiu's extensions?? Also Ble? He's pretty much useless to the story, probably the least supportive boyfriend I've seen. Well I guess it is kind of realistic in a way lol. Kla... Well I think everyone said enough about him already, I will leave that to the comments in spoiler.

    Everything was excellent, I really have no complains. Even with the issue above, I think it was perfectly executed and had me thrilled all the way to the very end.
