Is it worth it

An augmented-reality game bleeding into Granada, and for twelve episodes it is the most exciting high-concept thriller here: real rules, real dread, and Hyun Bin very good as a man who cannot tell what is rendered. Then Song Jae Jung runs out of ideas for her own premise, the last four hours swap logic for mystery, and the finale rates lowest of the run. Park Shin Hye is stranded in a part that mostly waits. Watch it for the middle stretch and set your expectations for the ending now.

While looking for the cryptic creator of an innovative augmented-reality game, an investment firm executive meets a woman who runs a hostel in Spain.
