This show has every genre, trope, and cliche and therefore is the penultimate of dramas. It’s like Embrace in the Dark Night and Twin Peaks had a baby and that baby was raised on a diet consisting only of Twilight Zone episodes. And I mean that in the very best way!

Enjoyed this movie! Had a vibe similar to the old “Airplane” movies. Hong Kyung did a great job. His English accent sounded distinctly American English. I’m Impressed that he’s now done sign language, Japanese, and English for roles.

Could not continue… I normally gives shows a chance, and this one is only twelve 30-minute long episodes, and I’m a huge fan of Choo Young Woo, but I had to stop midway through episode 2. The FL was just annoying and unlikable. She was a huge hypocrite. She tackles him in the first episode for trying to get into his grandpas’s house, calling him a thief. Then that same episode, she lets the village ladies into the house because no one was answering the doorbell?!?! Next episode, the ML is gently telling a kid to knock on the gate or ring the doorbell instead of sticking his hand through the gate and trespassing on his property. The FL and the kid shame the ML and call him mean. Being in a rural environment isn’t an excuse to treat people differently. Also, the whole premise pisses me off… the grandpa should have planned the cruise with his grandson in the loop rather than forcing him into this situation with a horrible prank that made the ML think he was dying. I don’t care what bullshit they come up with in later episodes to try to get me to like the FL or understand why the grandfather did what he did… there is literally no good reason to justify this crap.
