Hmm this was a difficult drama to rate. It hooked me from start to ending with a great storyline, and then ended with a revenge that somehow failed at conclusion.

The other thing that irked me was that although there were many opportunities, the whole truth was never really disclosed to the public and kept safe behind closed doors of the privileged.

This is a drama that refuses to give a slice of happy and its aim seems to be to tell its viewers that reality is a bitch. It lures you with the premise and hopes and plans of revenge, and even with 20 episodes the revenge cannot be served.

Life goes on as usual for higher-ups who committed the crimes, with no actual repercussions. Realistic but for a drama viewer who wants to see justice served at least outside real life, not satisfying.

Notable acting by the ladies, I was especially drawn to the characters portrayed for Yoon Jae Hui and Oh Ye Rin.

The artworks by Son Sangki in this drama captivated me a lot, they evoked emotions and thoughts to intrigue me enough to do a google search on the artist and explore more of his artworks including his Artificial City series which is perhaps what the drama is named after.

In summary, I did not regret spending my 20 hours here as the storyline was actually entertaining until the unfortunate ending. Minus 3 stars for not giving the bad people what they deserved.
