"The Art Of Sarah" Shows The Dangerous World Of Materialism And Despair


It's for my review of The Art of Sarah. Be careful, though, because this mini-series has a lot of complex twists and turns. It's practically a Walking Spoiler of a TV series. Shin Hye Sun is the lead actress who plays the role of a very complicated character. The series is a mystery thriller that makes you ask, "Who is Sarah Kim? What did she do?" The series opens with what could be the end of Sarah Kim. However, what if the truth isn't as simple as it looks? That's what this show is about, as Hye Sun presents her excellent acting skills in every flashback. 

The whole series is full of suspense. The flashbacks can be rather complex. Was there really a Sarah Kim, or was she just another alias? Every flashback Hye Sun plays is played to a T. Every step of the way reveals a new mystery. The dead body found may not be hers. This is a case of mistaken identity, which creates a paper trail revealing the truth behind the Sarah Kim persona. How did the murder happen? If the woman who died wasn't Sarah then WHO THE F*** WAS SHE?

This is best not binge-watched. There are a lot of crucial details in several episodes. The narrative style uses flashbacks a lot. If you watch it then watching it is like eating meat with bones in it. Watch it like you are consuming a huge meal. Otherwise, its complexity can overwhelm you!
