Little Underwhelming
It is indeed a unique story, in the korean ent context ig. it is modeled after a lot of western superhero concept - its almost a copy paste - the only difference is the very strong and very *functional* family value systems. The same old "i have superpowers but people only see to use me as a tool for their own personal gain"
As a common problem I see with western platformed /produced k-ent, this drama too was rather shallow and very underwhelming. The score was VERY good. Everyone in the cast was a known face - stalwarts, very good casting. However the plot was very lacking esp for the 20 ep length. I was just about to drop the series , but the story arc about the parents' past awakened my sleeping interest.
In brief
ep 1 to 9 intro
ep 10 to 15 flashback - peak
ep 16 to 20 current and climax
As you can notice the intro section was painfully long. The only interesting part was the middle. There werent any cliffhanger endings - which is good. But they did handle part 3 (and 1 ig) in such a manner to leave a very open space for season 2. Which is frustrating, it seems that is the cause for such a lacky and draggy plot. It makes this show too predictable and brain dead. Many characters who were introduced with a lot of attention just faded out without any use - again ig they kept space for a season x, or spin off y.
peak talent under utilization. i am quite underwhelmed.
yeah you can watch it...
