SciFi mystery thrillers are usually hard to accept. Because the three elements when combined together, can normally be a bit more unrealistic, especially the SciFi part. It's the same here but Korean thrillers are usually very... don't know how to say this.... rationally grounded, and fatalistically so in certain ways that I can't seems to put my fingers on it
Lee the main actor is a veteran. Really liked him in Train(helpless), and A Hard Day, A Dawning Rage, Diary of a prosecutor series. He was not given enough in Parasite to shine. Park, who plays the dead gumshoe is also a heavy hitter actor. See him in Netflix, My Name.
The premise is nothing new although there are little twists and details. Some comically so(maybe unintentionally), like the cat reflex and vision.
Details are what separates good from the average. Like slow mergeing, sorting, separating and accommodating of different memories. Details like the doctor genius was emotionless as a kid. Or the entire episode 1(maybe1.5) was setup with no real payoff.
Details like the gun fight with the cops in episode 3 was so well planned out and edited, complete with the bystander coming out if a backdoor all of a sudden. The fight scene in the Buddhist temple at beginning of EP. 5. The abrupt yet careful depicted moment of connection with the butterfly drawing.
