I was surprised. So, a little backstory. I am very low on dramas to watch. I don’t want to rewatch anything. The only shows I followed from the last crop were Romance Is A Bonus Book (because, LJS *sniff*) & The Light In Your Eyes (ASDFGHJKL). And I was not at all interested in the new crop of dramas, with the only exception of Kill It. So it’s safe to say that when I started this show, I was 99.9% ready to drop it at first notice. Heck, the only reason I gave this a chance was because I had been cribbing about needing to watch something for DAYS, & thought that I should at least give some new ones a try, just to ease my conscience. Plus, I had also seen other beanies say how it was weird or boring.
But then I pressed play, and suddenly I was at the end of ep 2. It had been….FUN! I do get why beanies found it weird. It has been structured & treated in a way that is not the norm in kdramas. That’s because it has been made in a way that I can only describe, in short, as a teenage hollywood superhero film, done well of course. Think, Spider-man: Homecoming. And I have no problem with that. It was such a fun, light, zippy watch. I think not having checked out any of the promo materials also helped me in immediately being able to adapt to a different lens. From this perspective, everything gels well. The actor who plays the ML is doing great. The ML himself is so much fun to watch, & a refreshing character in kdramas, where the MLs always start off being too much of something – too broken, too nice, too devil-may-care, too mean, etc., you get the point. The FL hasn’t turned into a pot plant yet. I also wonder if, going forward, the ML will not only try to solve the big crimes, but also team up with the FL to solve school mysteries! They could make a detective club! À la japanese mangas/animes! It will be so much fun!
So yes, clearly I enjoyed it. Time to add a new show to my MDL! YAY!!! I wonder if this a sign for me to be more optimistic about the other shows, & to give them a chance. Now that my Mon-Tue & Sat-Sun are sorted out, maybe Possessed for Wed-Thurs? But man….I haven’t had a great track record with ghost dramas. Plus, its OCN, & I don’t want another gritty drama, what with Kill It being on my list as well. Any suggestions, beanies?
P.S. I hope the brother doesn’t turn out to be someone completely different later. It would break poor An’s heart.
same here. I had nothing to watch and picked up this show and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked/enjoyed it. I like all the characters so far and there is enough mystery to keep us going.

I gave it a try for the same reason and had the same reaction.
