For anyone coming into this show looking for romance first, this is not the series for you. It's science fiction meets social commentary, and it's done brilliantly. The relationship does help drive the plot yet it doesn't feel like it needs to revolve around their emotions. And if you've ever been a part of a large fandom then you'll appreciate the way it taps into the consciousness of the people who become invested in a character's story. Kim Eui Sung is an amazing actor and did a spot-on performance as the Cartoonist, his ability to immediately switch direction with his demeanor is mesmerizing.
But, most importantly, you have to pay attention at all times. Rewind if you miss dialogue, pause if you need to read the translation. Everything is well laid out and explained properly if you are patient. Obviously this show will not appeal to everyone, but to those of us it does it is an amazing ride!
