Review:

*100000/10* Out of the 60+ dramas I’ve watched so far this is hands down by far the best one yet. It’s quite a dark drama that deals with heavy topics like sex*al ab*se, s*icide, and violence. It’s not a typical kdrama in that it doesn’t have a romance subplot. However, I can guarantee you that this drama will keep you on edge till the last episode. From other reviews I’ve heard that the first half was pretty slow. Personally I didn’t feel this. But it definitely picks up in the 2nd half. The cast is impeccable. Everyone has amazing chemistry. And I quickly became a fan of Woo DoHwan’s and Seo Yeji’s acting. Wish there was a romance between the two. But, I like how they kept it more focused on the cult. Overall it’s a great drama that I recommend to all.

TLDR:

About a girl who’s family gets sucked in to a religious cult. Her and her friends help her escape the cult as well as reveal the other sinister secrets it hides. Rating: 1000/10 great cast only downside u might not like is the lack of a romance. The main guys are shown showing interest in her but after the time skip she only has feelings of desperation to get out of the cult rather than romance. But u can definitely feel some tension between the characters bc of romance
