    Reception[edit]

    Critical response[edit]

    NME's Hidzir Junaini gave it a 2/5 stars and wrote that Kim Nam-joo performance as Soo-hyun, calling it "powerful." However, the storytelling is criticized for being melodramatic and reliant on clichés, detracting from the overall impact of the series.[21]
