A truly special 6 episode show

It's honestly about as much as I could expect from a 6 episode series. I cried.

There are a lot of deep topics at play in the narrative, but there’s one quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti that stuck in my mind as I watched, "It is no measure of good health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Mental health is the main theme in discussion, and that’s very rare among kdrama’s.

The story is very cohesive and the plane lands much better than I would have expected it to in the last episode. The acting was impeccable, outside of Il-Deung's parents in one specific scene, and Baek Ha Na's performance in a couple of scenes. The music was part of what put the show over the top.

The biggest flaw is that a lot of the plot can be torn apart really easy with critical thinking. These kids needed a good adult to help them solve their problems, not magician in an abandoned amusement park that made them forget their problems. Although it is wonderfully whimsical, delightful, and intoxicating.
