Review

Through the dramatic device of a murder case, it shows the moral and emotional collapse of a seemingly ordinary family.
The mystery in this work seems to be not who is the culprit but how was this tragedy possible.

In this work, the culprit of the case is revealed at the beginning, intentionally showing that the author's core question is not who.

Under the name of family, it depicts a cold situation where the most vulnerable member is sacrificed to protect the monster they created.

Through the work, the author seems to offer sharp criticism regarding the collapse of extended families, the problem of elderly alienation, and the absence of parental guidance.
