Is it just me, or is it true that the sweeter and more innocent a face looks, the creepier it gets when its owner flashes that cold, emotionless, sociopathic smile?
That's exactly the case here. Kim Yoo-jung truly has the face of an angel, but inside, she is the terrifying opposite. I am utterly speechless at the level of performance she delivers; her acting in this role is so phenomenal it deserves an Oscar.
As someone who read the original webtoon, I am seriously impressed by how faithfully the series creators have followed the plot. And I have to say, the casting is impossible to be accidental-every single actor is perfectly tailor-made for their role.
The chemistry between Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung) and Yoon Joon-seo (Kim Young-dae) is impossible to describe. It's an intense, unspoken thing. Their glances don't just say a thousand words; they drive the plot forward entirely. I am once again speechless at how good these actors are and how they communicate with just body language and eye contact.
Their relationship is already loaded with potential drama: ex-step-siblings who share no blood. That's exactly what the series excels at: the palpable tension, the lingering looks, and all the unspoken words that hang heavy in the air.
Not to mention the surroundings-the cinematography and settings are perfect, especially Ah-jin's home, with that church practically next door. It's the perfect symbol for the immense load of sins she carries, like a demon whispering in the ears of the men she effortlessly wraps around her finger.
