The film’s bold attempt to intertwine existential AI questions with apocalyptic stakes falters in execution, resulting in a directionless narrative scattered with conceptual loopholes that undermine its thematic impact. In simple A high-conceptualized thought gone directionless in execution and riddled with loopholes.
I think I loved it… I don’t really know. My mood hasn’t been that great, so I think I ended up enjoying the cliché stuff more than I usually would. I’ll admit I’m a little biased because it has Ahn Eun-jin, whose performance I absolutely love. If I think about it critically, there are definitely a lot of loopholes and the ending felt rushed. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that, to be honest. But one thing I do know is that I found it quite enjoyable overall. And that laugh of Kong Ji-hyeok, with all the subtle facial nuances he adds, is absolutely hilarious.. It genuinely made the character more charming. Also, the end credit roll was surprisingly good, with a creative touch that I really appreciated. All in all, despite its flaws, it was an enjoyable watch. Good job.
It’s bad—just bad. Elvira Cai, you disappointed me big time as a fan. I can’t even talk about any technical aspects of the drama because there’s literally nothing to talk about. From the script itself, it feels like something made for 2010, with poor execution and a truly pathetic score. I honestly can’t write much because it’s so bad from every angle. I couldn’t go beyond episode 4. With a heavy heart, I have to drop it.
Finally binged it. You’re my favorite for a reason, Hyo-joo. What a brilliant performance you delivered. The depth of your character understanding was exceptional—you absolutely nailed it.
It’s such a sweet drama, one that constantly brings a smile to your face, with moments of tears in between. It felt so wholesome overall that I truly didn’t want it to end.
All the other actors gave equally fine performances; every character was well-written and well-developed, which is impressive for an eight-episode series. The direction was superb, the screenplay brilliant, and the sound design was perfectly subtle and nuanced. The production quality felt rich, and the cinematography was beautiful as well.
Everything about this series was excellent, and I sincerely hope it doesn’t end here permanently. As for Joong-ki’s cameo, it felt slightly out of place—but at the same time, it could be something big us being in writing
Watched it in 2022 or 2023 and I still think about it. No time to rewatch now, but it remains the best in this genre for me — absolute brilliance. A personal masterpiece. Haven’t found anything that even comes close. Iykyk.
Seo Ji Hoon's character (Kim Seok Ju) intersected with almost all of the main/supporting characters - and demonstrated…
First of all, I can’t wait for All of Us Are Dead! If I remember correctly, he wasn’t in season one, so I’m super excited to finally see him in that universe. And regarding his relationships with the main and supporting cast—you summed that up perfectly. 👍🏻
But heinrey is literally a boy. He's called a pretty playboy here and there. Navier was surprised to see how toned…
It’s too early to say anything since only a single still has been released, but he doesn’t look like a playboy at all. I've not read the novel. I hope I’m wrong—I want this to turn out to be the best experience.
Shin Min Ah and Lee Se Young look absolutely stunning — wow. Ju Ji Hoon looks powerful emperor.
But Lee Jong Suk’s makeup and character concept man this is too soft and girly, it completely breaks the vibe I expected for this drama. I thought we were getting a badass series with a strong romantic punch and intense lead interactions, but his first look is… honestly total disappointing. I can’t process how such a mismatch happened for a lead character. Thsi is one of my anticipated drama i want it to break the norms and give something which will stay young for decades & forever.
It was good — superb characterization and solid performances all around. Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee are both excellent actors, so you naturally expect strong, compelling performances from them when they come together — and they absolutely delivered.
But Seo Ji Hoon truly stood out. What a brilliant portrayal of his character! He’s the kind of character you find yourself wanting to be like — so genuine and heartfelt. Honestly, I enjoyed his performance the most. The way he handled the role — balancing vulnerability, love toward Sun Woo, and his individuality within complex family dynamics — was simply outstanding. He didn’t just portray the character; he truly lived it. He was superb in it.
Brilliant performance, bold take, and a very raw, realistic approach to the story — I liked it. However, the screenplay was poor, and the pacing was painfully slow.
