I'm having a difficult time putting into words how I felt about this show. First, my life as I know it was put on hold so I could binge this in two days.

So much to love:
-the cast. If you have been watching K-dramas for a while, you will recognize many, many of the people in this. I enjoy seeing actors that I've seen in other works. The ML was wonderful, very understated. You could feel how lost he was, and how he didn't believe in himself. Watching him step up, open up, and change his priorities was lovely.
-the story. It was pretty original. For anyone that plays games online, you'll love this.
-the comedy. Sometimes it was just silly, but it worked.
-the music. The music served perfectly to draw emotions from you.
-the emotions. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried on multiple occasions.
-the friendships. This, to me, was all about the friendships. Pay attention at the beginning and notice how disjointed all the soldiers are. Misfits, miserable, not caring about each other. By the end of the show, there were numerous beautiful friendships formed.

My only slight complaint is, and this is true of most shows, that it's very obvious who the villain/s is/are in this. It's very rare to watch something where the villain is a surprise.

I started watching this because I haven't been able to find a decent romance. This was to fill my time, and ended up being so much more!
