Sometimes, you just need a lighthearted show to put on in the background and this is that show. There are plot holes and cliches and tonal whiplash, and the show requires a high level of suspension of disbelief, but it's also fun and wacky and doesn't take itself too seriously and I thoroughly enjoyed myself even if I didn't really care about the plot at all. The overarching message about the importance of history (and who it belongs to) is compelling and timely and I loved that, for all the comedic moments, the show never forgot about its core theme. The whole cast is great but Joo Won is especially endearing as both the bumbling Hwang Dae Myung and incredibly cool and slick Skunk, and Choi Hwa-Jung is an absolute delight as Dae Myung's partner in crime and I would totally watch a prequel series all about her backstory because the brief montage we got was not nearly enough. And huge kudos to Kim Jae Chul for acting his heart out in a revenge thriller while the rest of the cast was having a blast in an adventure comedy.
