Complex characters but boring and too slow.

~ Quick Summary ~

Yu-Jin wakes up covered in blood and finds his mother murdered. Due to a medical condition he has little memory of what had happened the night before.

~ Pick this up if you enjoy/don’t mind ~

🐢 Very slow pace and a slow burn

🔪 Discover the murderer quite early on. The question is why?

🧍 Focus on Yu-Jin

🎭 Psychological thriller (not an exciting thriller though)

~ What I enjoyed ~

I liked the format, how we switch between present and past timelines and the mother’s dairy to learn more about Yu-Jin and what could have led to that moment.

The climax and ending was more exciting and captured my attention.

Yu-Jin was a very complex and interesting character.

~ What I didn’t enjoy ~

This was really boring, drawn out and slow. Usually walking is the perfect activity to pair with audio books, but I just kept on losing focus!! I even tried to relisten to the first hour but I still have little recollection of it.

The transition from current to past tense was very subtle and sometimes I don’t realise we’re not in the present timeline anymore. Most likely because I was so disengaged.

The past time had a lot of everyday and insignificant details which made it feel so long. It slowly got more interesting but most of it was a struggle to listen to! Any surprise to the reveals was quickly overtaken by boredom.
