As You Stood By
당신이 죽였다
Jiejie’s Take
Sarcastic Warning: Contains Maximum Tropes. Ah, yes, another tale of woe where our heroine somehow ends up embroiled in a murder plot to escape her terrible life. It's the classic drama bingo! Watch as unexpected alliances form and corporate intrigue thickens the plot, because who needs a simple escape plan when you can add layers of suspense?
