Pure romcom, lighthearted bubble of joy! Great for laughs!

The last time I was this happy watching romcom was 2 years ago with Gaus Electronic. When you see this drama, the first thought you have will be that this is too absurd, and that's why I came to watch it. I looked for laughs and I got them until my mouth felt sore from laughing XD

When it came to the plot, I thought there wasn't one. But as it goes to the ending, turns out they packed everything into this 10-ep drama. The way they packed it was funny, but it was solid nonetheless. The main character healed their inner child, and I felt like they healed mine too, a little. It successfully made me immersed in the story despite there being no extreme events in it, which other drama usually compensates with crime solving (murder etc.) That's why the story is 10/10.

The rewatch value is straight 10/10 just because it makes me laugh so much! I can see myself going back to watch this regularly so I can laugh!

As for acting, to be honest I thought romcoms don't really need good acting because of how indoctrinated I am for watching cdrama saying that. But! Good acting is important! I really like that both Lee Junyoung and Pyo Yejin is good actors, hence they were able to act out their expression to the fullest, yet not overdo it. I especially like how Lee Junyoung portrays Moon Chamin, because he always manages to bring out Chamin's innermost feelings straight to the face. Just by seeing his face, I feel like I know what's going on in his mind, and what feeling he currently has. So the acting/cast score is 10/10 for me. You need good acting even for a romcom, don't look down on romcom!

As for music, my favorite is Gist-Charms. I like the lyrics "You have 24 charms, how can I not love you?" I think it sums up the story, of how people fall in love because of each other charms. I feel like that also describes my love for this drama. This drama is just that charming for me. There's also another track that I think hasn't been released, and it also sounds good. That's why I'll be generous here and give it 10/10!

So to summarize, this drama gets 10/10 score for me!

I started this because of lee junyoung, and went with no expectation (since a lot of people criticized it).

Contrary to my expectations, it’s not that bad. First the actions, I appreciate it. They use continous shot a lot. This is really hard to take. And for non continous shot, the action and reaction is well filmed, so the actions really flow, so to speak.
The weapon they use also varies, and the way they use gun is also quite exhilarating to watch. Ma dong seok is truly made for action. If you see the movie, his character can be said to be very efficient. Compared to jiwan who use lot of bullets, namsan makes sure he shot the head.

The plot, as people says it’s not revolutionary, but it’s not bad. There are too many end-of-world movie these days that it’s hard to create something unique. But it’s true that I wasn’t able to be emotionally invested in the plot. No supposedly sad scene was able to make me cry. Well it’s normal, I don’t think the character even cried. I would’ve love if they put more effort in crafting emotional scenes.

The comedy is okay too. It didn’t make me laugh uncontrollably, but it did make me chuckle. I especially like the stepmother joke lol

I’ll add something about the gore. I don’t like gore and this movie didn’t bother me in that aspect. Even if the scene is considered gore, it moved fast. Since it doesn’t focus on the gore itself, it’s not sickening.

Another disadvantage this movie had, there’s almost no tension, where you’re scared the main cast gonna die or something bad gonna happen to them, since ma dong seok character nam san is too invincible. He doesn’t really face meaningful obstacle that can threaten him. This is common problem a lot of action movies face.

When physical obstacles can’t be added since the character is set to be invincible, they should’ve added emotional obstacles.
They should just kill someone in the main cast. That emotional explosion would be good. I would have cried if ji wan died.

It doesn’t feel that rewatchable so I want to put 7.5 rating… but I don’t wanna lower rating of lee junyoung work so I’ll put 8 🙈
