This is a 3-part series with 8 episodes for each part/season. So far 2 parts are available on Netflix, and I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
I don't want to give too much away, but it's essentially a non-linear drama first, even though the premise is of a murder mystery based on the owners, workers and acquaintances of a Japanese hostess club - which is set in Taiwan.
First off, the non-linear nature of the series is done amazingly well. It's nowhere near the complexity of Dark, but the execution of what is told, when it is told is so well done.
Secondly, the acting is top notch. The cast are all top tier actors/actresses in Taiwan. IMO, there no weak links here.
Last, but not least, and perhaps the most impressive thing to me is the cinematography and editing. The lighting, the shots, the colours of this series are shot so beautifully. The opening credits is alluring & the song used is a cover of one of Taiwan's most popular songs, sung by one of their most famous bands (I have to watch the opening every episode).
Even if you're not into Asian TV shows of any kind, trust me - you won't regret giving this one a shot.
