More of a rant than a review

I jumped into this head-straight with even familiarising with the cast or learning the concept of the drama, and you know what? It is a treat.

So to people who are like "meh" and click the button "plan to watch later". Don't. Watch now.

Story: So far so good. Basically I have seen historical dramas falter to find a balance between romance and politics, this is the 2nd drama after Scarlet heart ryo that is doing it so good. Queens character is hilarious and very well written.

Acting: Damn. The actress. Damn. There isn't a time when you can say that you felt she is not not a woman. She has great comic timing. The supporting cast is pretty strong too. KJH had been in my radar since school 2017.I am so happy to see him deliver something so amazing

Music: End track ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. Very well suited. The tracks used in the series are mostly 21st century pop but it fits so well. Well done in choosing the music.

Overall: Skipping this will be like choosing to go hungry when you have ice cream infront of you.

Rewach value: i don't rewatch. But i just may rewatch this.

Shattering the shackels around your heart

Were you searching for answers of questions you don't actually know but you always wonder?
Does it sound vague? Are you wondering what i am talking about? Go on. Dig in.
Be ready to feel stuff that don't generally want to feel because you HAVE to go do you day job or morning studies. Be prepared to question Normalcy, is it really that different from ordinary? Since, everyone wants to be extraordinary, doesn't it make Ordinary the most special.
At a first glance, this is a Ordinary drama about ordinary people leading their ordinary live.
But oh wonder!
This drama will handle the mundane aspects of life and make them kind of easy and hard hitting.
The acting from all the actors, leads as well as subs are just amazing and every person stand on their own. This makes me really glad that such a drama is regular and people are actually watching.
P.s: I will probably add stuff when, this drama will be over.

Not cliffhanged but always edged.

Food analogy: Dry but hot and spicy Ramyeon with a little a little to no soup (soup being romance) but lots of veggies and gravy, that even after being unconventional keeps you wanting more.

It was deliciously complex. Although the trope of the story is overused and at the present time, which isn't (heh!) So I look at the storytelling. The storytelling was not perfect, to be honest but it was quite enjoyable.
You can be relate to the motions on a personal level but not be totally engrossed in the story because this is about some supernatural stuff, which is a good thing Coz it gives u space for other dramas and webtoons ( also I watched it while it was ongoing. Sooo.. u may disregard the last line)

The acting was fuvking great, man. I had only seen Kim Se Jeong once, but she was hit. Everyone never fell short.
But the show stealer was LEE HONG NAE.
Damn boy.. he made me sympathetic as well as hate him at the same time.. also hats off for such a well written character.

The ost's are ear pleasing and apt. Good enough to be in my playlist for a long period of time atleast.
This show is a 10/10 for me.

Confusion between "complexity" and "lazy writing"

I have seen other works of writer-nim, which i did enjoy, hence i had to use the term "lazy". I was watching a lots of negetive comments stating that it was "Complex" but from my POV, i found it quite easy to understand once i got the rythm. Don't get me wrong, me finding it easy added nothing to my viewing experience, it just made me wait longer for something to happen that i would find appealing.

I have a very emotional bond with Lee min ho coz the first kdrama ever watched was City hunter and he was my first oppa, but Second lead stole all the thunder. His character was the Only interesting thing in the whole series and i found myself waiting for his screentime.

I am not a bitch.. i will acknowledge the effort to make a vivid time travel sci-fi story and it would have succeeded if the makers attempted to tie up million loose ends and made the characters true to their original traits( even though there is no character development). I personally didn't like the FL even tho kim Go Eun tried her best.

So only watch if u have time to kill. You won't miss much by skipping.

No Significant forecast. You may stay calm.

Are you late for your work, but can't eat unless you turn something on?
Watch this.
It will give you a stress free viewing experience.
This is a story. That's it. This is just guilty pleasure where you will get to see Song kang and park Min young being Eyecandy and Saying scientific terms on a very interesting subject. Few good side stories. Pretty dresses. Cute hairclips. That's about it.

Like many other generic stories which had been retold in a million ways but still you find something new but in this case you will just find the setting as new, but the execution as somewhat lack lusture.
What surprised me the most is the fact that what they showed us as "character development", isn't that plain meaningless stupidity and toxic positivity? Well, if you watch my review. Do engage with me on this topic.
I would still give this a heads up coz it helped me have a easy digestion( coz i can't watch complex stuff while eating)

Basis or no Basis.

See, i felt it's gripping, it will keep you invested, you will be on your toes the entire time because it's very unpredictable, But it's Completely unsatisfactory.
Like you will watch the whole thing and still won't understand shit.
It basically felt like a ground work for season 2 where we will get to know what the heck is happening.
The message that it is trying to send is pretty good and the execution is top notch but totally personal opinion.. i just felt empty after watching it.
People who judge the story with more than just script will love it cause everything else was mindblowing.

Are monsters human or Humans monster?

This show focuses more on human nature than other mainstream Zombie flicks. So it can be rightfully concluded that, Monsters are not the main focus here.
Nobody has faced an zombie apocalypse but we did face quarantine, keeping that into account, we can't expect the whole story to be loophole free.
But trust me the story keeps getting better. You don't know how a character will react as we don't know anything about them.
As the story only takes place over a span of two weeks, don't delve expecting a load of character arcs but just focus on the present.
But what kept it going was the awesome performance of the cast. *standing ovation*
There was immense chemistry and not much romance to keep us focused on the plot. But whatever much was served, was totally delicious.
Not a rewatcher but i would rewatch for some of the immense lead couple's badassness.
