Comical genius
When a friend of mine showed me this drama and told me it was one of the best she's seen, I had major doubts but decided it was worth a shot.
I did not know what I was in for. I expected it to be some half-assed, low-budget short drama with most of the worst clichés dramaworld has to offer us but BOY WAS I WRONG!!!
I laughed so hard I almost coughed up my lungs while watching the first episode. The insanity of it all made the illogical become logical and everything happened on such a fast-paced setting it had me turned upside down and giggling underneath my desk.
Everything I thought this drama would be went right out the door. There hasn't been an episode where I didn't cry from laughter or couldn't catch my breath because of it.
Let me remind you now that this drama is not listed as a comical drama. It's not even trying to be funny but it's hilarious. Most of it seems like the writers were on drugs while coming up with certain plotlines. We went from a high-scale chase with futuristic elements to a forests with a mystical fog that lets our main characters visit each other's dreamworlds, to a wild-west with cowboys. We went from a weird octopus creature to a freaking DRAGON that supposedly hidden within a busy city.
None of it actually made sense but it worked perfectly into the humor of it all.
The drama tells the story of a world far away where the Affinity Virus wreaks havoc on the humans. If you're affected by the A virus, you'll have to find a partner with the B virus in order to survive. Someone with a B virus infection can be emotionless and psychotic and can go beserker mode unless they find someone with the A virus who is able to calm them down. As long as they have each other, they can live as if non-infected.
Our female lead, Nongyu, is infected with the A virus (a so-called Yin) and stands witness to the arrest of a murderer who is infected by the B virus (a so-called Ren) and went psycho on his parents, killing them in the process. Years later she comes face-to-face with him again and finds out he's been waiting for her. He wants her to become his partner and will stop at nothing to make sure that happens.
Do I recommend this drama? Hell yes! It was such fun to watch and it did bring out some notes of seriousness amongst the insanity of its plotlines. It's low budget but still very well made. The actors tried their best with the script and brought out some of the best acting eventhough most of it made me cry from laughter. It is, like my friend said, one of the best I've seen (if you consider it a comical drama and don't take it too seriously).
