An Absolute Trainwreck

It was so bad, but I couldn't look away. Definitely one of the worst dramas I've ever seen, but it was a wild ride. I'm glad I watched it, even though I know I could never tolerate a rewatch.

Every episode was multiple batshit twists and turns, the plot was convoluted and stopped making sense. Every episode felt like they were trying to top the last insane twist, and what started out as a slightly weird but otherwise entertaining story ended up being the most ridiculous thing I've ever watched.

Two of the most frustrating aspects of this drama were the inaccurate portrayals of mental health issues and the music choices for the show. The mental health issues displayed in the show were pretty unrealistic and it seemed like a writer had read a dictionary definition of a few disorders and then just interpreted it however they liked to add more twists to the show. The music was inappropriate for the mood of the scenes it was played during, and it really took away from any immersion into the storyline and just made suspension of disbelief so much more difficult.

I found myself nearing the end of the drama saying, "I wonder how they're going to exceed the absurdity of the previous episode!" It was the only thing that kept me going till the end.
