Momentum
Fastest I've finished a kdrama in a minute, one all-nighter + 1 episode the next day.
It throws the kitchen sink at you in the first half, I won't give anything away, but we literally entirely switch concepts twice. On the one hand this keeps things interesting.. but on the other, neither is all that novel or exciting. Both are straight up copies of two large American properties, they don't even try to hide it.
Ji Chan-Wook is damn charming though and fits right into whatever new scenario he's tossed into. And D.O. is a note perfect villain.
He's almost too good in fact.. which can be a thing.. when the machine our lead is put up against becomes so damn extensive and impenetrable that you enter the last episode wondering how they could possibly resolve all of this in just another 40 some minutes.
It's just constant momentum, so it works out. But if you at any point stop to think, you'll realize how thin all of the characters are, and how ultimately wasted the wild concept is.
Did the trick to entertain me truh some holiday blues tho
