Sasaenghwal (2020)
Interesting plot, but terrible editing
The show has quite an interesting and original plot. The acting is also good, there is not really any character who seems to be bad. However, the timeline is rather confusing and hard to follow. If you are looking for something serious and want to actually think, then this might be the one. If you are looking for something easy to understand and just to have fun, this is not it. Overall, it feels like the production team is trying to bring movie-quality to a TV show by integrating some of the more complex techniques (such as mixed timelines), but they just do not work and not suitable for a TV show type of thing.

A no-brainer show, but fun to watch
This show has absolutely no logic. If you are expecting a fun ride, this is what you want. Perhaps something you would watch while scrolling on your phone or to have some fun with friends (although it is rather long compared to typical K-dramas). You'll experience a roller-coaster ride full of emotions and plot twists. I watched it till the end, and kinda enjoyed it, except for some moments when the show made absolutely no sense and became unbearable.
But if you are expecting to watch something that make at least some sense, I do not recommend this. The show starts with quite interesting plots, not something novel yet not too banal. However, it progresses as if written by a 5-year-old who just wants to see how much plot twists he can fit in the jam-packed 52 episodes. It has some interesting parts where the tensions were built up nicely, but it then immediately fails to pack it up. It aways goes like this: someone does something bad, someone else figures it out, some tensions between them, then the truth was revealed, but nothing serious happens, no one got punished and the bad guys keep doing the bad deeds. That's why there are many moments when I felt like the show could end there, but it seems that they wanted to drag it out too badly that nothing makes sense anymore.
--SPOILERS ALERT--
The show ends terribly. The contract with the main actor ended, so they just crop him out of the picture and rushed the chemistry between the main actress vs another guy. This is super weird, and of course highly illogical. So perhaps you can enjoy it except for the last 4 episodes.
