Remove quick time
Nothing happened between the characters and Jade was the only one holding the show together that made me keep trying but I gave up in the end. I preferred Bed Friend on so many levels but I wish Middleman Love come off as it is giving me a bad taste of the genre. The acting was terrible the only one giving it all to was Jade King and Urea but the others made me cry. I could've done better with no acting experience whatsoever how did they get picked? They need to be retrained over again quicklyWas this review helpful to you?

would've been perfect
first of all the ending was so confusing as I don't understand how the characters got to where they were and was wishing Edward died for what he did but we never got to that. The others I wanted to know what they were doing now they now the truth.It was excellent with the right amount of drama and action that made it easy to follow so want confusing plus the romance was an added bonus that made it fun to watch root them all the way through.
The ending shocked and surprised me ruining the whole story for me

What is the hype about
I regretted watching the whole thing. The only reason why I watched it is because of the spoiler shorts you see which were propaganda and an illusion.From the start, I never liked any key characters, the ones you hoped out of it alive and unharmed.
The story was an utter mess like it was rushed and they needed to draw people's attention. Why use children as I'm sure that would never happen in real life. The mental health part I enjoyed as it showed the effects yet they didn't go into enough detail and too characters were experiencing it. In a time like this, it strengthens communication and leadership and yet every character lacks the key skill. Where was the division in roles? The strong go with the weak. Would've loved to see some friendship in this time of hardship but got strangers that were in constant conflict
What happened to the rest of Korea's population
Look the aliens were interesting as they were scary and seemed incredibly strong but they found key findings that were never used against them. I'm surprised they stayed in the end as I know I would run the first chance I could

Important messages throughout
The cast did an excellent job of portraying their charactersYu Sen's story is by far the best as it is simple yet elegant and loved how it was a chance encounter with Yueh. The scene at the funeral was just well done as it showed passion but also hurt. Is it just me or was the grandma watching them?
Would've loved a bit more screen time for his story.
The youngest was relatable but remember if you are getting inappropriate messages or trolling go to the police. I feel she discovers who she really is as you can't love others without loving yourself.
She sometimes bottled problems up which is never good.
A married couple the husband needed more communication on his side. The wife was interesting especially when she went on the retreat to understand her body but glad they learned what they really wanted through the tests.

Simple life
I was expecting so much and was disappointed instead.The story was too simple it got boring, especially in ep 2 as it never delved into too much detail in how they got there in the first place and wished it went into more detail.
How the boy became a mutant would've lit more interest as they are explored properly only a few snatched of conversation
The acting performance was on point yet was lacking in how the deliveryman came together and how 5-8 became a legend. Glad we got a little of his backstory though as it was interesting. Sa wol was an interesting person but I never fully understood how the mutant was and why he was so important because of this. Wished their was more episodes

Solid series to watch
Yes, the first 3 episodes were solid with the virus developing at a perfect pace for me then it went downhill with me feeling it was dragging but then picked right back up.The story is well executed with the right amount of romance mixed in with suspense and drama between the residents. It showed the lengths that people would go to in those situations if it meant surviving and selling anyone and everyone. The affair of the attorney was funny and interesting as I thought the wife would be too naive to realize what her husband was doing with the lady supposedly having an affair with her boss's husband. Love triangle
The actors were solid with the detective my favorite considering what he went through since day one. I respect his wanting to keep the laws as if he were the police. Wished we could've seen what happened to the military guy and his family as they had me crying at their circumstances

It wasn't for me at allKnow there are a few characters I enjoyed which made me stick with it hoping to pick up but it never did, it plummeted down. Hyun us has saved me a couple of times. The story of being an orphaned teenager that don't interact with others, made me wonder how he would cope. Then turning into a monster making everyone fearful of him but he was way too submissive
Eun Yoo is the one that changed the most from a ballet girl to a leader I found it hard to understand the dramatic transformation at times
The brother that I got confused with the doctor or was it priest? Either way, his leadership saved all their lives. You want to stick with him when the world ends.

The actor's characters were well portrayed and executed as Do really gave me the impression of a loving husband and father but later on if he was accused of killing someone I wouldn't be too surprised. Ji-Won was excellent in showing she is independent so isn't an accessory and the young cop who gets pulled in two directions.The story was intriguing it kept me glued in wondering what was going to happen next. The flashbacks were embedded at the right time as they aid in further understanding the characters.
The romance between the sister and reporter I skipped as it felt awkward and forced as they had a history together yet he wonders how she ended up killing the head.

I adore Fumiya as he was relatable for me not having the confidence to speak my mind towards others. I understand the reason why he wanted to keep it a secret as this was his second chance to start over.
However pre-accident it seemed the relationship was toxic with Ritsu never having time to spend with his boyfriend and Fumiya putting up with it.
Ritsu I believe came out a calm person and actually enjoyed the new experience
The flashbacks I really enjoyed as it was sweet to see the past

What was the ending
Really it was the ending that let the whole drama downWhoever picks the actors thank you. You picked the right people as first and Khoa portrayed their characters wholesomely there were times I was picking
The story for me was so relatable as I fit in the age group and it illustrated barriers we teenagers face in our day-to-day life because of all the pressure and expectations that are heaped upon us not realising we are breaking down
Akk( first) was my favorite as I feel like he has the most character development and learns a few things from Ayan ( khoa)
Unfortunately, they got let off which I believed wouldn't have been the case in real life, and felt like they needed a consequence to learn how actions affect others

Song Chon's story wasn't explained as clearly as I hoped as I still don't understand how he intertwines with everyone's else story as what is his motivation and how he got to that point.
Nam-gan is a cop who needs to rely on others as he is the lone wolf.
It just got messy to quickly with too many characters coming in

However, the ending became dull making me skip most of the parts that had little significance as the comedy got halted and the drama slowed down. The approval of the rich was predictable as it was overused too much dragging the whole story.

It needed to explore other aspects of a relationship. I was more interested in the daughter story and the killer thinking he was rank A than Bok-Soon. It was hard to understand why she was doing what she was doing and how she ended up there.The action scenes are the reason I stayed especially the last one which shows all the scenarios thinking it was real but wasn't. The ending ruined it as I wanted an honest conversation between them so there are shields but I got deflated.
It could've done so much better as I wanted more character and their development in the movie

The last 3 kept returning to flashbacks- too many for me at times and never brought fresh ideas so was on a constant never ending cycle for them and never actually sorting the problem
The power balance was so unequal it was shown clearly when the pushing scenes demonstrated it for us
