The epitome of the messiness of human life.
In my language, the word “human” can also mean a stirred-up mess. And that’s exactly what this show is.
It’s the same old plot but retold in a successful way.
If we only look at the main plot, I'd say I’ve seen this “last road trip as a final death wish” kind of story countless times. But, here, I’m not bored watching these characters create huge messes and keep tangling everything up like there’s no end. It’s a bunch of big messes - same old, familiar, scattered messes all thrown together - but still feels fresh to watch.
The acting from the cast also contributes a lot. Their performances are natural, convincing and work well together. The ML plays such a crazy guy that I believe the actor himself has to be somewhat crazy, too. The characters' development and growth are also interesting to watch. And in a way, the subplots are not that predictable, so it’s fun to follow their journey.
It's also great that the production team doesn’t betray their main plot or compromise with conflicts in the story. They commit to those things until the very end. It’s just that I still hate the ending for two points:
1. I just outright hate it. It gives me the same feeling as seeing how unfair someone’s life is but still having to accept it as reality.
2. The ending isn’t executed perfectly. It’s not that I can think of a better way to do it, but it still feels too abrupt and too easy, like they didn’t have a better idea for how to end it either. Okay... obviously they couldn’t think of a better way, or else this wouldn’t have been the ending. Anyway, I dropped 0.5 points from my score just because of the last 2 minutes.
All in all, it’s a great show. I’m not completely attached to the story or the characters, but it’s still fun to follow and find out what happens next. The ML is charming, which is a big plus. The other main characters (FL as well as the supporting characters) all did a great job in their roles.
This show deserves a big applause.
