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

I got through it barely

To be honest if I've never watched it, I really wouldn't be missing much.

The actual story, I was more invested in the police investigation of the kidnappings and murders of hosts so were vulnerable. The whole informant idea fell through pretty quick where Krit only allowed it when he didn't have feelings for Wayu which doesn't usually work like that.

I'm sorry but I really didn't like Up's acting, like seriously, I preferred it in "My Stand-in." His scenes I wanted to end so quickly too bad he was one of the ML so had the most screen time. None of his scenes have stuck with me. At times, I felt Krit was immature and didn't fully listen to Wayu.
On the other hand, Poom can act with just his eyes and body language and really knows how to deliver a powerful performance. My favourite scene is when he called Krit so he and Singto can sleep in a safe environment. You can feel the hopelessness and uncertainty in his voice when he was unsure who to call that he can depend on as his first priority was making sure Singto was safe. He showed he cared for Singto throughout the drama and took the responsibility when his sister ran away. He could've just said no or do the bare miniumum but he never and did the best he could. He is the one I got emotionally connected with.

I did skip half of the last episode but at times it was too slow and at times it was too fast. There was no in-between for this so sometimes you were stuck behind someone walking so slow and you can't past them or on the fastest roller-coaster.

Important messages throughout

The cast did an excellent job of portraying their characters
Yu 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.

Now this is what I'm looking for in a drama. I know this might cause a stir up but this is overall better then weak hero class 1 and 2. That being said I never had my hope up and thought this was another Korean bullying system and it soared past my expectations.
To be honest Euiygeom needs therapy, the mental and physical abuse he have had to endure by his father who only cared about his reputation to others and brother who was just releasing tension and stress he had but doesn't excuse his behaviour in taking it out on his younger brother. From not wanting to fight anyone to taking it the next step and being told to stop.
Yang gi I felt sorry for. He came off as bland but he has gone through a lot of pain himself and took it too far.
I love their true bond with each other finding comfort and support as they can relate to each other.

I don't think Song was ready and in the right headspace for a relationship quite yet due to the trauma of her sister's suicide and how that affected her. Her actions at some points were actually disgusting like kissing her friend to try throw Piang off, throwing the cupcakes in the trash and other actions. However, I did adore her relationship with her grandmother as they are close and generally love each other.

Piang. I do believe that she was abused by her grandmother. Her grandmother is extremely controlling of how she can represent and who she can be in a relationship with even talking to Song to not associate with Piang at all. I feel like she is more sensitive than she looks as conflicts really destroyed her but I never liked her.

I actually like the second couple but am still confused on why they broke up in EP7.

Minoru was the brother I preferred and feel like he showed more external consequences whereas Makoto showed more internal consequences of their parent's death.
Minoru struggled with social interactions and seemed not to talk to many people and had no friends
Makoto being the older one, had tk be the strong onw for his brother and hold everything together. This drama portrayed human emotion incredibly like the fact Minoru shut down completely and never ate when he cooked food for his brother when Mogi was discovered to have killed their parents and then died so couldn't get an explanation but left the cooking recipes for the brothers.

The actual story on how they discovered their parent's murderer was confusing at times like the role of the ex police officer that was still in contact with detective Koike. I'm still unsure on detective Koike role other than the fact he was was in charge of the case and failed to catch the perpetrator. It was fully explained in detail in certain aspects making it difficult to follow at times and understand people's decisions that they made.

This showed human nature of pain, sorrow and trust that can be manipulated or broken in different ways and how it affected people. It made me cry at betrayals, laugh at good memories and hope that the culprit was found.
