I just finished this drama but I didn't feel wowed because it just feels like this drama did the bare minimum in exploring such a disturbing concept of being in a cult. This drama took the easy route and focused on Sang-mi being forced into the cult and her journey of escaping the cult and while she did an amazing job throughout the drama, it wasn't that original of a story. Ms. Kang who chose to join the "cult" because she obviously didn't believe it was a cult, story arch could have easily been a more interesting and an original arch for a drama because her character just had so much potential but it was superficially explored. The drama was very predictable and cliche despite it treading a new storyline like religious cults. Also, I expected some vein-popping thriller, but it was chill even though the eerie feeling of such situation remained. While the psychosis of the members was portrayed very well, especially through Sang Mi's father, the cult leader's character was really half empty for such an important character.

While this drama did not meet my expectations, I am happy I watched it because I found some new amazing actors (Seo Ye Ji and Woo Do Hwan) that I am excited to watch in other films. Also, guys don't expect a romance trope in this drama, it doesn't need one and it's better without one. The bromance was cool and while everyone fav may be Dong Chol, I just really had a soft spot for Man Hee, even though he wasn't the leader of the group, he was so kind and mature in a hidden way. My other fav, was Joon Go, the gangster or the "dog" even though he doesn't have that many lines, every time he spoke, he left you wanting to know more about him.
