MY THOUGHTS :
This drama really shook my mind to the fact that there were really inappropriate things that keep happening in the world that we haven't seen. It is just like there was still a deeper and darkest part of our world just like the White Night Village. We must think that it was fictional but there was still a probability that this might really be happening without us knowing that it is happening and that will really shake our minds. These unimaginable things made this drama worth watching but of course, I hope that these kinds of things were not happening in our world right now.
Just like any other mystery and suspense drama, it gives the vibe wherein you won't know what will happen next and makes you continue watching it until you grasp what will happen. And it was good since you don't know if the main lead was the culprit or not since the evidence pointed it to him at a certain point. This drama also had their element of surprise in addition to the suspense and mystery which I didn't see coming such as who is The Architect on the first episode and the relationship of Jung-Woo and Jamie. It was nice and unexpected at all.
How the story ended was good in that it gives the audience question of 'What happened?' and 'Where did they go?'. These questions may be put together to have another season. Though Season 2 was once in a blue moon in Korea since Actors and Actresses normally want to have another drama than continue with their past dramas. All in all, it was good and superb.
MY PERSONAL RATE:
9.5 / 10.0
