The most boring action-drama I have ever watched!!!
I had really high expectations for this drama but it was a HUGE disappointment… The trailer was promising and the cast looked phenomenal! Lacked in story-writing and character development especially, but there were more flaws as well.
Reasons why I didn’t like it:
1. A lot of things didn’t make sense or were hard to follow. For example, why did his father have to give him the superpower??? Like what would happen if he died without giving it to his son??? It was so unclear! The explanations in general were so sloppy and the motives behind the characters were not properlt explained. Also, what’s the deal with Jo Anna and Nathan? Why do they want these superpowers??? Whats their reason or motive to be so strong??? Did sth happen to them in their childhood??? Like for example Strong Girl Namsoon had an amazing villain (played by Byeon Woo Seok) who had a crazy, traumatic childhood. So the motive of his actions of trying to get that superpower is clear. But WHATTTT is the reason for the villains of this drama???? Why do they want that superpower so badly???? I just couldn’t understand and was sooo annoyed!!!!
2. Explosions, explosions, explosions! This drama thought it could be make up for the lacking storytelling by blowing up stuff constantly. It was literally trying to be like one of those American superhero movies. It definitely felt like one! We need Netflix to stop ruining K-Drama by trying to Americanize them…
3. Flat characters! Although I liked Sung-Un and Bun-mi (and the fire girl too), I just couldn’t properly connect to any of the characters. We barely got to know them on a deeper level and there was basically no character development either. Everything just stayed the same with the exceptions of a few explosions here and there…
Other things that didn’t make sense or bothered me:
- Episode 2 when there are the explosions inside the wedding hall and ML saves his girlfriend and then they just stand there and talk and he gets scolded by her for wasting money again 🙄🙄🙄 LIKE WTF ARE YOU DOING???? Get out there! All I could do is roll my eyes!!! I was SOOO ANNOYED!!!!
- In episode 4 or 5 when Sang-un is trying to get into Beomha ranch and then the two othet friends, Bun-mi and the attorney are trying to stop him… I just didnt understand the whole sideplot thing with the selling your superpowers. Did the alcoholic attorney try to deceive them??? Was it on purpose the note he wrote on the documents? What exactly happened? Why were Bun-mi and Sang-un mad at him and What made them forgive him???? I did not understand anything at all! Not understanding these made me feel so frustrated!!!!
- When Sang-un and Attorney are running away from the lab and ML drops the bag and it get stuck under the sliding wall and instead of focusing on the bag he ANSWERS HIS FCKING PHONEEEE!!!!! 😩😩😩😩 Uggghhhh!!!! I was sooo annoyeddddd at him and Min-Suk!!!! I also didn’t like her at all!!!! She was SO ANNOYING!!!!! 😫😫😫
- When they find out the police officer’s superpower is timetravel and when Min-Suk goes to the police station to ask him to turn back time and save ML, and the police officer just HANDS HER his watch???!?!??!!! IS THAT EVEN A SUPERPOWER????? It’s literally Hermione’s Timeturner!!! And it’s not HIM who has the superpowet but HIS WATCH which in that case it is a magical object that ANYONE can use???? Omg I was faceslapping myself!!! This was so bad!!!! Who tf wrote this???? I swear I could have done a better job!!!
-And then the last scene! Nathan turned into a supervillain and killed the labgirl and all the lab workers. Hmmm? I wonder who is gonna insert Sang-un’s superpowers into him??? 🤔🤔🤔 Again a very nonsensical, annoying scene with actions that made absolutely no sense to the plot moving on.
-The last fighting scene was so cliche too!!! Everyone throwing theit money for him… Awww! I am sooo touched!!!! Omg seriously! I neithet laughed nor cried while watching this drama! I was also not on the edge of my seat… it was just annoying and ridiculous!!!
Other than the amazing cast of actors there was nothing positive to say about this drama… Just don’t watch it!!!
