Mi Ka and Chief Shao were amazing. I loved the mentor mentee dynamics and I honestly wish we got to see more of it!
Also, same here for the 2nd leads romance. I think it was too much and dragged too long.

Really nice review ☺

I feel like 40 episodes was too long, 32 would be max I would see as appropriate for a story like that. And 100% agreed on the mains and the lack of growth/development. The problem is - they started from such a good place, with no true flaws and issues... there was nothing to developed. That's why it's important to give the characters some type of flaws and conflicts...

Both worlds are given equal time < this was something I appreciated too. It's rare for a drama to find the balance between scenes of the two professions shown.

Extra kudos for making the FL realistic and not coating her in make up and dressing her up in ridiculously fashionable/tight clothing < THIS! The thing I loved te most about her styling was her hair - her just having a normal daily hairstyle that the actress was truly able to do herself on the spot. Small detail, but added the realism to the character.

For the mouth to mouth part, more and more studies show that it's not necessary, and actually stopping chest compressions for it might be even bad. It's also not recommended because of the possible disease transmission. So I would not say it was completely inaccurate.

Great review! 👍🏻

I look forward to Kang Ji Gu’s romance with possibly Mr. Nice Paper < I am so curious. They seem so different, yet I feel like they will match perfectly.

As for the drinking, it must have been exaggerated. At some nights they drunk enough to get alcohol poisoning, but they barely had a hangover 🤣

When you thought the drama started full of injustice... but then there is even more injustice 🤡 Can I handle it?
Goo Tae Man is awful but it's so hard to hate him...

I'll survive thanks to Cha Ga Eul and Lee Moo Gyeol. They are adorable.
Will I survive tho? Oh Dal Sung is like a cockroach - no matter what, he never dies. By now I would take one for the time and kill him myself. Where is the white truck of doom when we need it?

Half way through, and it's still good quality and it does not seem to go down even a bit. It's a miracle in kdramas. Ending on a good quote:

“𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒖𝒔”

Honestly, I would say it's an action driven show with a decent plot (since, if you remove the zombies, it is literally like any other saeguk show...). It's not a bad thing, I had fun watching. But I agree they could have develop the characters a little bit more. The sakes are extremely high, but since I barely know the characters, I don;t feel emotionally attached to them...

Great review 👍🏻

Fun and fluff with bit of mystery. The characters are refreshing.
FL is money driven, but in a realistic and somehow likeable way.
ML is "cold", but not really - he is a good guy, just really into cheering and his job as a president of the club.
SML is a playboy, but with a good heart, not an asshole. He is straightforward, but it does not feel like he is forcing himself on FL.

Overall, fun.

"I'll use my school name value to climb the ladder of capitalism and become the star of rags-to-riches story" aka the best quote in any drama ever 🤣

Have to say, the whole show is adorable. Besties of FL and 2nd ML are the definition of hype and sweet and they are my favorites.

Not surprised... he was truly the most useless villain I have ever seen in any drama ever 🙃

Great review! I agree that they did barely anything to flesh out Akira and give him some depth. He did not even try to somehow figure out the situation he was is - he just reacted to things happening...

I appreciated how mundane the setting was because of the laundromat hahaha
Also, 100%agreed on the cast - they did a fantastic job with the characters :D

definitely too long, so it started to feel painfully repetitive.
totally agree that the side characters were fun, and I liked them individually too, but the side romances did nothing to me...

well the villain sucked, but he was not really just doing his job. He was trying to close the webtoon section not because it was truly not doing well, but because he had stakes in other webtoon company, so he wanted that coin if the two merge 🤣

but yeah... this drama ain't it. I loved it at first, but my love died down quite fast too 🙃

Donghee & Daeryuk's storyline was one of my favorites too. And The episode that focused on Donghee was for sure my favorite and the most memorable one.

Great, detailed review :)

I share the same thoughts after finishing it. No emotional scenes had any true value, because they either were not set up properly, or the had a happy twists before the sad emotions truly hit (like the mother deciding to scarify herself to give the kids time to run away at the end).

I also agree about the action. First fight was fun, first car chase with zombies was fun... but the movie was full of more or less the same scenes, they started to loose the charm.

Really nicie review! I agree that it's a decent movie if someone wants a Fast and Furious Zombie edition, and not necessary a complex and well written story. It had some great visuals and fun moments, but overall... lack depth.

I didn't really like the explanation of it all by the end. I think more fantasy and less sci-fi would be better. The military involvement just did not fit the overall dark but magical vibe of the movie

Koreans have mastered the art of psychological suspense and drama < 100% true.

Honestly, the romances were just unnecessary and too many of them. Everyone had some kind of romantic connection to someone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ji Chang Wook truly did amazing in this show, People keep saying he should be back doing action dramas, but for me he shines in more melo and emotional roles way more.
