Amazing concept but poorly executed.

This is the only review I've done exactly after finishing the drama, so I've got a lot to say.

First half: Frustrating
Second half: Tormenting

Hyeyoon and Jaewook carried this show. Rowoon wasn't bad at all but his character felt so bland.

This drama had so much potential honestly. The concept was quite intruiging and that was what actually got me to watch it. The first two episodes were amazing. It was a great build up into the comics world and it was funny. Oh Dan-Oh's character was iconic. She knew her goal: To change her fate of dying and to make sure she's not just a mere extra.

But then, Haru came — his supposed savior. He did change her fate! But then, they began to become soooo co-dependent with each other that somehow, Dan-Oh's world seem to only revolve around Haru only, and the same could be said to the latter.

Somewhere along the story, the plot was lost. Then the love triangle began.

Jaewook did well but his character was so frustrating. I did not get the second lead syndrome from him, or at least not as strongly.

I almost dropped this, but it actually got better in the second half, personally... Or am I tweaking? The second half was honestly much better and it started making sense again.

Overall, this was still fun. A lot of comedic scenes and romance and madness from the second lead. The friendship built while filming though! <3
