Overall a Great Series, But Leaving It Unfinished For Season 2? Be For Real ?
I know I know — I’m incredibly late to the party and everyone has probably moved on by now, but I finally finished the series.
TL;DR: It’s a good series overall with a great musical score, excellent humour, and a solid attempt at Western-style cinematography. However, the ending is incredibly frustrating because they left things completely unfinished just to force the prospect of a Season 2, ruined by confusing superpower rules, unnecessary romance, and an overlong finale with terrible pacing.
The humour in this show was actually great, but they tried way too hard to make Cha Eun-woo look cool all the time, which became pretty annoying after a while. The superpower rules also became completely confusing, especially in the last episode. If they spent an episode or two training or learning a pattern, how could they not have a grasp on it? Chae-ni just kept appearing and disappearing or needed a stupid excuse like coffee to make things work.
To make matters worse, the romance aspect was completely unnecessary. It felt incredibly forced, and when they actually tried to focus on it, it just felt completely one-sided.
What I really want to moan about, though, is that last episode. The extra-long duration was totally unnecessary, packed with scenes that easily could have been cut. The main villain suddenly shifted for no reason whatsoever. They didn't bother to explain what actually happened to Chae-ni when she disappeared—leaving everyone clueless as to whether she was even alive or dead—and then out of the blue, she just comes back looking incredibly rough.
Instead of fixing these gaps, they dragged us through two long-ass reunions at the end when they could have easily done it all in one. It was so obvious they only split it up just to shove that romantic undertone they keep trying to push down our throats.
It is so annoying when a show leaves massive loose ends just to push for a renewal. You can easily tie up a series arc properly and still leave the door open for a continuation. While the music and cinematography make it an enjoyable watch, they completely sacrificed a satisfying conclusion just to chase a sequel.
