I was super excited when I first heard about this show and immediately started imagining what Kdrama I would like to be zapped in. The meta moments in the show are great but that is about as good as the show gets.
The writers of the show, I feel, should have continued to break the third wall (which is rare if not unheard of in a Kdrama) which was the main charm of the show. Instead around the second or third episode they decided to give the show the real Kdrama treatment which would have been fine if they had better writers or more money to spend on the show.
Kdramas cost a lot of money and it certainly shows with the picture quality, sets, costumes and though it may not be true of all dramas but the writing and production value of the shows.
This was not the case for this show and it would have been fine the writers realized that the main draw of the show was the meta-ness of the show and stuck to that theme throughout the show instead of making it into a real drama which it certainly isn't.
The chemistry between the lead pair is weak at best and it really gets confusing switching between reading the subs and realizing that the characters are speaking in English.
Fun venture but got too serious too soon.
