Unrealistic ? Yes. Entertaining ? Absolutely !
This is one of the rare times when I loved a drama from start to finish and managed to follow it weekly, eagerly waiting for new episodes to drop, without ever losing interest, even slightly ! That’s how much I loved it !Honestly, I wasn’t even planning on watching this drama at first (as usual for me), but my curiosity got the best of me. I ended up watching the first two episodes, and I was blown away. (Yes, I know I might be exaggerating, but I really liked them that much).
The storyline was fun yet engaging and interesting, the characters were really likeable with really entertaining personalities, and the fight scenes were amazing. Sure, they were totally unrealistic, and our MC was clearly overpowered, but that’s exactly what made it so enjoyable, in my opinion. They kept that webtoon/anime vibe in the story, which I think many viewers who hadn’t read the webtoon weren’t expecting. That made it stand out from other similar dramas and just so much fun to watch ! The humor in this was also great and felt really natural, as if the characters were unintentionally funny and I absolutely loved that.
Honestly, this was such a great show, I had way too much fun watching it. The only significant "downside" for me is that, since it was quite short (only 10 episodes of 40 minutes each), at times, the story felt a bit rushed. We would quickly jump from one plot point to another, and I wish we had more time to explore certain aspects, especially the backstories of some characters introduced along the way. It didn’t significantly bother me, but I do hope that if we get a second season, we’ll have the chance to dive deeper into these elements.
Aside from that, this drama was amazing from start to finish and has definitely earned a spot on my rewatch list. If you’re expecting something realistic and deeply emotional, like Weak Hero Class 1 (mentioning this one because I believe many viewers came in expecting something similar), keep in mind that this is not really that kind of show. However, if you can turn off your logic for 40 minutes and just enjoy a fun ride, you’ll probably love it as much as I did !
Side note : This drama is really similar to Mashle anime but in a high school K-drama form. I really enjoyed Mashle, so it’s no surprise that I loved this one too ! Also, the OST is fantastic !
