Childish, low-budget, and corny but...

A rare type of series where the acting is subpar, the dialogues are even worse, the camera is often shaky, the special effects felt cheap, and all with a thick layer of corny wrapped around it. I also almost dropped this one after episode 10 when the introduction of the new characters felt really really cringe.

But... for whatever reason, the lore still drew me in. The wave of mysteries behind the characters were intriguing enough that I couldn't help myself but to keep going. They did a pretty good job with the initial introduction of the ML and despite his lack of expressions variety and unique way of talking, it kind of worked for his character. The ML was also hypocritical, inconsistent, and overly obsessed with his sister - but his charm does come around here and there. The new characters introduced after they joined the sect were also incredibly obnoxious but thankfully, they do evolve with some personality growth. Then it becomes a different kind of corny when the team finally comes together as a unit.

There are so, so many things wrong with this one but it does hit an inner child. It's not something you watch for intellectual purposes but for that kid who used to root for superheros and live in a world of imagination. Overall, I made it through by skipping over some nonsensical scenes or draggy conversations but it deserves credit for pushing me through all 40 episodes.
