A delightful breezy well-balanced drama full of A-level comedy, action, thriller and sci-fi

If you're in need for a fresh short format comedy to binge watch to you engaged and amused all the way through, this is the perfect recommendation.
I loved everything about this one, the story, script, characters, production, cinematography, acting and direction.
this is how you produce a short-format 8 episode drama! Keep it to the point and engaging, no moment wasted on needless side plots, while making the best use of the time for world-buildup and character backgrounds just enough to make them endearing and the story engaging. I appreciated above all that despite the story never taking itself seriously and even most of the action sequences had a strong dash of comedic elements to it, I liked how the humanitarian and emotional messages came through showing us a group of ragtags misfits who receive mainly their community's ridicule overcome their inner self-worth issues and form a strong bond.
Personally, I didn't mind the sudden tonal shifts from slapstick humor, to action, to traumatic dark scenes, to suspense scifi, it made the ride all the more crazy and bingeable . I found the romance which was not the main genre here to be cute and sweet, and the main leads conveyed a nice chemistry overall.
I loved the quirky characters, the witty dialogue, the hilarious moments, the spooky sci-fi, and above all I found all actors 'performances to have been great (even Cha Eun Woo for the most part) but shout outs go out to Park Eun Bin of course. this is one actress I will be following in the future.
Nothing has been announced, but in case there will be a sequel, I will be looking forward to it.
