with some time to have this whole thing sink in, i found myself kind of remembering this as a lighthearted, cute, cringey, sci-fi drama. which is totally not what i think is what the director is really hoping for when it comes to the focus of this show?

while watching this series, i took things less seriously and just watched it as some feel-good break from life. the acting from the foreigners was just so god damn funny.

what disappointed me was how rushed things seemed. the ending was such a let down. erng went back without properly talking things out with mew, we did not even get a hug, if I remember correctly? the REAL erng was suddenly long forgotten in the drama and we didn't even have the two erngs meet.

nevertheless, i would be lying if I said I did not enjoy myself while watching this. it was very entertaining. mill's acting here was just.. CHEF'S KISS. amazing.

I will say however, the mock trailer of UMG seemed so, so much more mysterious and thrilling. the overall vibes, the atmosphere, the colouring. comparing it to the end result, this drama seems more colourful and more light. erng looked more disturbing(?) in the mock trailer, which made her look more mysterious as an alienated character.

when they introduced 42 as a character, it seemed so interesting. it was very intriguing until ssing's character took it in like a pet?? and 42 was suddenly a character that was.. cute. it was no longer all that intimidating which kind of disappointing. but still enjoyable.
