About this drama

The story opens with a forbidden kiss amid a torrential downpour, and the copy knows exactly what it's doing with that opening, because it rewinds the whole thing ten months later in the same breath. Outside the Whitmore mansion, the icy, domineering Blair Whitmore pins her stepsister Beatrice against a black sports car and declares that Beatrice can belong to no one but her. Beatrice's ex-boyfriend charges in with a gun, a gunshot rips through the rainy night, and just as Blair pulls aside Beatrice's shoulder fabric and catches sight of a peculiar mark, time rewinds. From there the blurb rebuilds the timeline. Beatrice moved into the estate when her mother married into the Whitmore family, coming to live with Blair, her non-blood-related stepsister. From their first meeting, Blair recognizes the iron-emblem mark on Beatrice's shoulder yet offers no explanation, and instead invades her life with ferocious possessiveness. The copy itemizes the invasion. She barges unannounced into Beatrice's bedroom, confiscates her phone, meddles in her contact with the ex-boyfriend, and resorts to locking doors, threats, and forceful kisses to keep her there. Beatrice loathes the dangerous, irrational stepsister. Then the counterweight arrives. Drugged at a bar, she is rescued by Blair, who arrives covered in blood, carries her home, and stays beside the fear-of-darkness-plagued girl through the entire night, and for the first time Beatrice glimpses the protective instinct beneath the ruthless surface. When the ex resurfaces, Blair's jealousy spirals out of control, and the text cuts at their father arranges. The mark's meaning, the gunshot's outcome, and the arrangement are all outside the listing. Thirty-five episodes.
