Firstly Gianna Jun deserves much praise for taking on such a physical role. The climbing, the water, the fire, the snow all with her in the scenes! The entire cast too including the great Oh Jung Se. The scenery is beautiful and a nice escape for audiences. The mystery part of the story is the problem. The jumping around in time is confusing and frustrating and the mystery around the village unfolds so slowly and frustratingly. Fragmentation of the mystery makes it lose all impact at times. If the time sequence had been linear it would have been better. 12 episodes would have been enough. "There is a killer on the mountain" over and over but then the story got stuck in a loop. Slow in parts that don't matter and glosses over key plot twists. Just better to show what happened to the two leads on the snow earlier. Referring to the victims and by name makes it hard to follow. So many unanswered questions it's hard to keep track.
Still the cast makes a great effort physically. Just a let down because of the garbled screenplay.
