Plot all over the place
Only watching this for Lee Jaewook. Watching FL's acting is like sitting through an elementary school play and while the other actors are doing their best, even they know the plot is going off the rails. Too many unanswered questions by Episode 8 and too much context, background and connections skipped over in the first 2 episodes. Several promising characters have become wallpaper by E08. Maybe the writers have a Bazinga moment planned at the end to bring everything together but even Han Taeoh can't save this.Was this review helpful to you?

Absurd Plot, Great Acting
Completely bizarre premise, some good thoughts on human greed and war, outstanding acting of exaggerated comedy. The first half of Episode 9 was especially fantastic and hilarious. There were good laughs, completely absurd situations and characters, and the narration blended situational comedy, exaggeration, visual comedy, thriller, historical elements and mystery very deftly. There were some very funny pop-culture references as well. I did drop it in Episode 9 though because I had read ahead to the ending, which I wasn't keen to watch because it resolved nothing. Still not a bad mindless watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Mostly Aptly Named Show
Truly the Queen of (Reducing Everyone to) Tears. Perfect casting, perfect OSTs, heart-rending story. Like Haein, it makes me want to hope. The story is admittedly heavy but it also feels cathartic? Haein and Hyunwoo are characters you genuinely want things to get better for; they deserve to be happy, and hopefully they will be.Only 6 episodes till date, but also hopefully, the plot won't take a dramatic turn diverting from the main narrative and it won't be a sad ending. This story demands a happy ending.
