I started watching because I saw a clip of Namyeon disarming the bomb at the bus station and the comment section was saying how everyone is with military backgrounds so it caught my attention. Was honestly expecting light, comedy no nonsense because the main characters are not young lol but surprisingly it felt like watching a legit action-focused drama.

I love how the drama portrayed them as a very close-knit neighbourhood and everyone just knows everyone. It felt very heartwarming. Although the friendship between the five of them doesn't feel much, probably since it's more of a protectiveness towards their neighbourhood instead of the normal friendships between young people, but I especially like the hint of close friendship between Kang and Byeongnam. Besides Byeongnam's playful attitude, he cared about Kang and despite Kang showing like he wasn't listening to Byeongnam, he did follow Byeongnam's advice.

I was thinking maybe Jeonghwan would join them because he was Minseo's tutor and he just happened to be around the uncles (and aunt) at the right time. When I realized he would join them because Myeongo would die of an explosion, I was PRAYING for him to not die. The way Lee Jungha expressed his quiet despair over losing his close friend, only started crying when he was home alone, HURT my heart.

I know it was for the plot but it annoyed me to death that Doyeon had no stranger danger awareness lol. I want to criticize her so bad but she's a literal child so it's honestly just the reality on how children would act. But the fact that she took the ice cream by Sullivan JUST BECAUSE he said it was from Kang? Girl you could've been poisoned. And Kang or Yonghui are the ones who usually pick her up from school. WHY WOULD YOU GO WITH OLIVIA. Anyway.

One thing I hated is that, this is one of the dramas/movies that make you feel bad for hating the villain. It's one of the "he wasn't born a villain, the world just made him one" kind of thing. It's true though. I get why he did what he did. But I don't agree with his methods. He could have targeted only the people involved. But instead, he started bombings in a neighbourhood, which I still don't get why he chose Kiyun-si. The fact that he was adopted from a church in Kiyun-si made his choice even questionable because it's not like he has a grudge for the neighbourhood or anything. And why would he specifically target Kang? He claimed that he thought Kang would understood what he did. But by kidnapping Kang's daughter, did he not think that Kang would do anything to get her back? Just like what Sullivan would do anything for Charlotte.
