Black Light: Question Quest

What do you consider the worse fate? Dying in an auto accident or ending up in a coma? Being widowed by a car crash (that may not have been your husband's fault) or being a caretaker for your spouse (who may have caused the other man's death)? Finding out your partner may have been suicidal or realizing that your ex might've had issues with addiction? Having to return to a factory job near the scene of the crime or bumping into the other wife who — like you — has yet to process this life-changing disaster?

Bae Jong-dae's drama certainly is a competition of woes, so much so that other characters like the daughter (Park Ji-hu), the brother, the sister-in-law, and the chummy boss are nothing next to the two central women (played by Yeom Hye-ran and Kim Si-eun). Whether the company is at fault (probably, yes) or the police botched up the original investigation (also, yes) doesn't ultimately natter. Black Light. Every question these women ask of themselves and each other consistently leads to more trouble. The one truth that feels definitive is that big business couldn't give a damn about your quality of life as long as they're making a profit.
