Captivating but hard to follow
26 February 2022
The story is captivating, multi-layered characters with many intentions and dark. It has everything one would want in a mystery/drama/slow burn....but the attempts at being artsy made it super hard to follow. The all-knowing character that sings on side scenes at major plot points, odd moments of voice overs and flashbacks mixed with hallucinations makes it quite hard to fully grasp what is happening. I felt the story is strong on it's own as the actors did a fantastic job, the other elements-although innovative-distracted from the major plot.

Overall, it was engaging but could have been so much better.

Ps. I felt the actress Wen Chen Ling (who plays Lin pian pain) was underrated in her portrayal. Watch her in the 9th precinct and Teenage Psychic...Wen Chen Ling is like a Chamaeleon, she does each role so well.
