A Well-Structured Story

Honestly, I really enjoyed this drama. Its biggest strength is definitely the characters and the writing. The world feels rich, detailed, and carefully built, with nothing that feels random or out of place. Every character matters in some way, and I especially loved how morally nuanced they all were. There are no clear “good” or “bad” characters, which makes the story feel much more human and realistic.

One of my favorite aspects was the diversity of the cast, especially the representation of characters with autism or intellectual disabilities. I thought it was handled with a lot of care and humanity. The slice-of-life and family-oriented atmosphere was genuinely touching and got me emotionally invested very quickly. The interactions between the characters also felt natural and believable, which made the relationships even more engaging.

The first half of the drama mainly focuses on building the story and setting up the world, but it stays coherent and engaging throughout. The fight scenes were really well choreographed, and the special effects were surprisingly well done too.

My main issue was the pacing and editing. Around episodes 8–10, the drama starts to drag and occasionally feels stretched out just to fit the 20-episode format. The repeated scenes and constant flashbacks slow the momentum down a lot, and sometimes they even interrupt intense or emotional moments with unnecessary callbacks, which kind of kills the tension. I can completely understand why some viewers lost interest during those parts. The ideas themselves were solid, but with tighter editing and better pacing, the drama could’ve been even stronger.
