FATHER OF THE YEAR
If you're looking for an action-packed drama with plenty of comedy, this one is definitely worth checking out. The action scenes kept me entertained, but what really stood out was the chemistry between the main cast. The friendship and teamwork between the characters felt so natural, and they were there for each other throughout the hardships they faced. You really shouldn't mess with middle aged men in glasses😆One of my favorite aspects was the father - daughter relationship. It was incredibly heartwarming and beautifully showed how far a parent is willing to go to protect and support their child.
I also found the military setting and the North Korea related storyline really interesting. It gave the drama a unique edge and kept things exciting throughout. On top of that, the revenge element was so satisfying. I'm always here for a good revenge plot and this drama delivered.
Overall this drama kept me really entertained from start to finish. I was also watching it while it was airing so i was always in such a cliffhanger. I'd definitely recommend this!

It should've ended sooner
This drama had so much potential. The first episodes were actually really interesting, and I genuinely thought I was going to love it. The concept was unique for a rom-com, and it got me invested pretty quickly.Unfortunately, things started to lose momentum as the story went on. What began as a fun and promising drama eventually became repetitive and I found myself losing interest. The biggest issue for me was the pacing. It honestly felt like the story was stretched out much longer than it needed to be.
In my opinion, this drama could have easily been wrapped up in 12 episodes instead of 16. There were several moments that felt unnecessary and instead of excitement they just made the drama drag.
By the end, I was mostly watching just to finish it. Overall, It's a pretty mid k-drama and I personally expected much more

started strong and lost its spark
I actually had a lot of fun with this one at the beginning. The whole mystery game concept was entertaining, unique, and had some genuinely funny moments.It hooked me pretty quickly, and the cast did a great job bringing the characters to life.With that being said, somewhere around the second half, it started to lose the spark it had in the beginning. I found myself becoming less and less invested, and the story just wasn't as immersive anymore. It wasn't bad by any means I just think it lost some of the momentum that made the first half so enjoyable.
Overall, I still think it's worth checking out, but I personally enjoyed the beginning much more than the later episodes

This wasn't it....
there were SO MANY things wrong with this drama and I honestly don't even know where to start. First of all, the first episode already includes some really disturbing content that completely caught me off guard.My biggest issue though, was the relationship between the two leads. Their entire dynamic was built on unhealthy motivations. It felt like the drama was expecting us to move past everything because 'they're in love' but I couldn't
Beyond those very obivous issues, the plot was kind of a mess. The revenge storyline ended up feeling pretty generic and predictable.
Overall, this drama wasn't for me.

predictable but never boring
This drama was such a fun ride. Going into it I didn't really know what to expect, but it completely pulled me in. It actually gave me Stranger Things vibes at times not because the stories are the same, but because of the group dynamic, the mix of supernatural elements, comedy and mysteryThe comedy was honestly one of the strongest parts of the drama. It never felt forced, and it balanced the more emotional and action-packed moments really well.
Story-wise, I really enjoyed it. While I did find the plot a little predictable at times, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. The storyline itself was interesting enough to keep me invested and I was always excited to see what would happen next.
My biggest issue was the romance. I just don't think it was needed. Everything else about the drama was strong enough to stand on its own, so the romance between the main characters felt a bit out of place for me
Overall, I had a great time watching this. It's funny, entertaining and has a really lovable cast. Despite a few predictable moments and my issues with the romance, I'd still definitely recommend it if you're looking for something short that is fun and easy to watch.

fun, chaotic, and completely confusing
I really enjoyed watching this drama. At first it was pretty funny and Se gye's muscles made this drama even better! However the plot wasn't plotting. I think not even the producers knew what they were doing during the last episodes... Like was it that hard to make the shaman lady or anybody else explain what was happening at least so that we could understand the whole joseon-modern world thing better?? Anyway, this drama started off really strong and I get why it's so popular on social media, because this had a lot of potential, but they decided to confuse us and leave us with many many many questions. Nevertheless, it's for sure a drama that you will neeeeeever get bored or tired of watching.Was this review helpful to you?
The definition of a mess
This drama was honestly a whole shit show😭. The FL was incredibly frustrating to watch, she was so easy to manipulate, extremely gullible, and seemed to never reflect on her own actions. The whole time I was just wondering why she kept making the same mistakesThe two male leads were honestly not any better... They were both so narcissistic.
Overall, I really did not enjoy this one. Everything about this drama was exhausting to watch. Definitely not for me.

cute lovestory
Honestly, this is what I would watch after a super sad drama!It's a pretty wholesome love story without any unecessary plot twists and all in all I think it represents many realistic relationships out there. The leads were pretty considerate of each other and mature, especially during the last episodes. However, this can easily get boring....
Also, the supporting characters on this drama were pretty pitiful. Because what do you mean the waitress girl was giving all her money on her gambling addicted boyfriend??? At least there was some character development but still. It's a pretty mid drama ,but for a j-drama it's one of the best I've seen and it wasn't cringey.
I would recommend it to someone that is looking for something chill to watch because there's barely any plot, otherwise don't waste your time.

this is THE SHIT
The fact that I binge watched this drama in one day says a lot. I got hooked from the very first episode and literally couldn't stop watching until I finished it.I went into this expecting a fun fantasy-action drama, but it ended up exceeding my expectations. It manages to balance its fantasy elements with real-life issues in a way thet feels engaging rather than preachy. It definitely made me reflect on how flawed and corrupt school systems can be, not just in Korea but in many countries around the world.
The acting was AMAZING . Everyone completely owned their role, and the performances made it so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters
The pacing was one of the drama's biggest strengths. There wasn't a single episode that dragged and every ending made me want to hit 'Next Episode'. I honestly don't remember the last time I was invested in this drama.
Overall, I'd recommend this to everyone. It's exciting, thought-provoking and incredibly bingeable. If you're looking for a drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish this one is definitely worth watching.
