In-depth analysis
The set, scenes, and dialogues felt empty and painfully staged. The story was simple and fun to follow. The comic elements were fitted nicely into the story. The writers have wasted a lot of time on Lee Heon’s storyline. At the same time, the drama had some fantasy elements with a whole background to explain it. The story was well-placed and presented amazingly. Jun’s reactions as Eun Ho we’re realistic. The lead actors in the drama were believable. The drama have a perfect story with perfect episode time. The main leads were hilarious. The scenery was also eye-capturing.
Star power
Jun delivered the role of Eun Ho perfectly. His facial expressions and natural line delivery was worth. Too Hyun Woo was good during the soft scenes but failed to evoke emotions in emotional scenes. The rest of the cast was also fun to watch. They all did their jobs brilliantly.
