A Hilarious Mainly Episodic Comedy
I was genuinely surprised by how funny this was. I found myself laughing out loud almost every episode, which is rare for me in any shows or movies. There's not really a whole lot more to say than that, besides some details for you comedy sticklers. So I'll do that as concisely as possible.
First of all, there's no laugh track, so that's a plus. It's also not reminiscent of a sitcom; the jokes are often taken much further, which is to the benefit of the show. There's a decent amount of cringe humor, so prepare yourself for that, but if you can bear the brunt of it the jokes made with the cringe are some of the best. There isn't a whole lot in the way of through lines for the show, besides Seok's relationship with Ae-bong and his success with his cartoon (although this is rarely brought up forthright, only as an excuse for the delivery of more jokes). Don't go looking for a story here. It's an episodic comedy. And a really good one at that.
The only crime is that it's too short and they rebooted it instead of making a second season. I definitely recommend.
