When X-Men meets The Umbrella Academy and becomes absolute fun ride!!!
Honestly speaking,I was only interested in this drama for Park Eun Bin. Nowadays,kdramas are neither interesting,nor appealing.... The same story,same repetition, same tropes....it has become such a boring place.
But this one was really enjoyable. I wont say it was some magnificent, mindblowing, extremely top level superhero drama,cause it was not. But the thing that makes it special was the chemistry among the four leads and the makers never pretending its story to be something heavy cause its not. It had its sad moments,which was also good,but overall,it was fun. It was lighthearted, it was joyful.... It was something really needed for the moment.
Storywise,its not something new. Some outcasts,nobody.. found superpowers and became superhero to save the city while the villains are some crazy science guy who are torturing by experimenting on children....nothing special. But the bonding among the casts were really good. Park Eun Bin as Eun Chaeni was hilarious and her tremendous ability to shift between an absolute trainwreck to some kind soft always happy girl was so nice to see. Her bonding with her halmeoni was so hearwarming,she was like real grand daughter of Kim Hae sook,both having same character traits!Choi Dae Hoon as a suffering man who became a burden in his own family,later became superhero, always pretending never caring about anything or anyone but a real softball inside was to good to see.Im Sung Jae as the crybaby was also never annoying or boring. Their funny scenes actually landed really well.
But it was Cha Eun Woo who made me amazed. Believe me when I say,I was never a fan. He has one of the best face card in korea...but his acting was never great for me. But WoW! This time he pulled his character really good...specially beside such great actor like Park Eun Bin and others,he didn’t leave any chance to complain. He deserves his flower this time.
Overall...it was a fun ride. Will definitely watch season 2 if it ever comes!
