Summary
Initially, the story showed promise and had a great potential for brilliance, addictiveness, and entertainment. However, it ultimately fell short. The plot felt stretched, with prolonged situations and lengthy music scenes that added little to the overall experience. In my opinion, this series would have been better suited as a concise 5-episode miniseries rather than a 10-episode one. The final 50-minute episode was particularly underwhelming, as the actual entertaining content amounted to only 15-20 minutes. Overall, I'd rate it 6/10. While it was okay, it failed to meet the expectations set by the captivating first episode, leaving me rather disappointed.
