Now whenever I'm watching a new show I would compare it to Signal despite the genre. It's unfair, I know, but it's so hard not to set up the standards high after I watched this freaking show!
I will keep watching this show for the sake of curiosity but I haven't really find anything that clicked with me. I wish the director would let Ga Eun be more involved with the Prince. It's odd that Hwa Geun gets more screen time and fun arc with the Prince.
Do you recommend it ? and is there good romance ? I was excited to see the chemistry between the two leads but…
f I have to sum it up, it's a pile of mess that turns out to be enjoyable somehow. My suggestion is to watch the show with an open mind and note that the show likes to mixed genre like what's tagged here in MDL, so if you're not ready for some fusion, probably you won't like this show as much. The genre are mixed quite well, tho, mostly the comedy :B
One (or two) character(s) will drive you crazy as you'd think why they're not dead yet lol.
Plot holes are indeed everywhere, but rather than that, I was more bothered with the fact that they haven't mention one person from the crash whom is either dead/missing.
I'd love for the show to linger more on the island arc because the story was more intense there. The Back in Seoul arc is more.. common? Like nothing special or gripping.
Am I the only who couldn't feel their chemistry? The story was rather bland..The mixing of romcom and thriller…
Thanks for your suggestion :) Even thou I haven't see the chemistry, I'm mainly watching the show because of HS and BY's acting in this role, not because of my fondness of them as actors. That's why even if the romance doesn't click for me, I'll still watch it for their role themselves :)

Idk.. I want to enjoy this drama since I love the acting of fellow Hyung Shik and Bo Young. lol, probably because I'm watching Tomorrow with You at the same time and I thought the stories are in contrast and I find TWU to be more engaging as a whole.
So i guess.. I'm the weird one here xD

The 14th ep is a breath of fresh air, it's the first time these people actually use their brain to prepare for a plan. Watch out for 38TF vibes only on this ep :)
I think the timing gets pretty bad during the latter episodes. I don't mind about Tae Ho's mentality, but I found the reaction of the crews odd. Aren't they supposed to feel too scared to even see the sight of Tae Ho? They didn't even manage to tie him. It's stupid because they all know he's the killer. Even after Bong Hee knew from So Hee that he killed the pilot, she didn't manage to tell anything to the crews.
It gets even more frustrating that Tae Ho could roam around in Seoul even after the survivors had come back.
The reunion between Ki Joon and Joon Oh was dissapointing. I know, they want a comedy genre on the drama, but how am I supposed to enjoy the comedy if I find their interactions ridiculously alien to me? No matter how funny they could be, when faced in these kind of situation they would've gone into the venting route. I don't mind the slapstick but it felt so distasteful when used in a what could've been an 'added more depth into the story' scenes.
I think the main problem is the script, it's way too much for a first episode. Everything feels all over the place, too many misunderstanding happen in one episode and the characterizations haven't really help. The story itself doesn't grab you unlike other show like Voice which is engaging from the first episode (But it's a different genre so I can't really complain), and that's why we could use some help from the characters to cover up for the bland story. But Chae Ro Woon is really grating and she kinds of screw of my concentration lol.
Maybe gives this show a chance for 5-10 episodes and see if it gets better. This has 20 episodes so we really have no idea when the writers would give the real card.
If you really want to get into this show, then prepare to meet the nonsensical and over the top Cha Ro Woon. As for Hwan Ki, I enjoy his performance here.
