Absolutely Amazing!
This drama is one of the best, filled with action, comedy and friendship goals (in a fictional setting, of course)
The Story:
Although I haven't read the webtoon, the story is fun and exciting. The end of the season is definitely hinting to another season, but the season itself is solid, introducing the main squad and their backstory, as Ga Min helps them along the way. Yes, the story is not realistic but that's what makes it amazing. Adding that almost fantasy element into it brings it back to the webtoon and makes it more comical and epic. The irony with Ga Min with his studies compared to his results is a great opener to the story, and makes him relatable to many but also makes you curious why he's so passionate (which I assume will be explained further down in the series). The direction and the cinematography of how this is done, is so great and comical. It makes you hooked the whole time.
The characters:
Everyone on 'Ga Min's' side is adorable and are such strong characters individually, that when they all come together it's a huge power moment. Even though the season was just ten episodes, the character development with each character is not rushed and makes you love the characters so much more. In saying that, there is a lot more to be discovered and something to look forward to as well. Personally, the main antagonist, Pi Han Ul, is an amazing antagonist. He's not just a smart student, but his desire to even topple his father is a great enemy character. Compared to other high school villains, it's not just the brains but also physical strength that Han Ul has, or vice versa. He has a nice character balance with Ga Min, who is pure and simple minded compared to our antagonist.
The action and the OST's:
The intro and outro of every episode brings the hype by double. the whole soundtrack is gold.
This with the action scenes are a perfect match, it's the highlight each episode.
Overall, this show isn't a full 10 out of 10 due to it's somewhat incompletion, but it's amazing. The characters, the action, the emotion, the songs, everything is great. Following it's webtoon, this cartoon/anime like show is great for people who love comical yet intense battle series', you will absolutely love this one. It's nice and short and will make you want more.
