This web series is based on a chilling murder mystery that unfolded in a remote village. The story is captivating, and the climax is so unexpected that it leaves you in awe. However, the initial episodes are quite slow-paced, which makes me think that the series could have been condensed to just 5 episodes instead of the 7. Despite this, the overall story is compelling and worth watching for its intriguing plot.

You've reached the end.
