not bad, pretty good

I had high expectations for this show due to them casting Park Jiyoon and the director being Jung Jong Yeon, who directed other shows that I really enjoyed like The Genius and Society Game.

At first, it felt a little awkward because it wasn't in the usual show format where there was a narrator or an mc and it was just the girls roleplaying in an high school without any script or directions. The show sometimes slacks in that sense where it feels really awkward because there's a lot of times where they're not doing anything because they weren't given instructions on what to do. It was also probably due to the editing though.

I enjoyed the show though due to the puzzles they had.

Cast was amazing, they did a really good job casting. Park Jiyoon being the leader of the group and deducing everything, Jae Jae on the side solving all the word puzzles and having great memorizing skills. Doyeon also helped a lot and provided jokes from time to time. BiBi was okay, she helped from time to time and made excellent deductions and I loved the sort of 'rebel' character they tried to portray her as. I was sort of disappointed with Yena though because throughout the episodes, all they ever did was show her eating and screaming because she was scared of everything. (Though I was happy that she finally did something in the last few episodes.) I wish she contributed more instead of hiding in the background all the time but I guess there always needs to be a slowpoke in the cast. They did a great job casting Park Jiyoon and Jae Jae, I felt like without them, the rest of the cast would've just been confused and lost the entire time.

I'm excited for Season 2! I hope they have an even better plotline in store and for more puzzles!
