Wow. Refreshing, intricate, and perplexingly good. It's kinda dark humor x thriller. Six degree of killer separation and existential teen agnst.

Another finely directed meaningful story from SKorea. I'm only 4 episodes in and hooked. I understand this is from a webtoon. The story I won't go into but the editing is a attention grapper. There is the usual sound and visual transition. There is also flipping/merging of current and past scenes using same or similar visual space/camera angle. Shifting of time, perspective, alive and deceased person interaction...etc. These makes the telling of the story much more refreshing without seemingly showing off.

And there are themes of the young looking for direction or meaning in life. The unclear boundary between victims and perpetrators of a crime. And obvious question of vigilante justice.... Or is it a crime to kill a killer ?

This is a more thoughtful version of another similar recent SKorea series, Vigilante.
