Skeptical when I started this show: it was too unique - mixing superhero, con-artist, time-travelling in a rom-com seemed too much to deliver & do justice to it all themes. But every week the episodes delivered on these themes & kept me intrigued on what would come next. The plot, acting, short format and music are just perfectly balanced - which is why I highly recommend watching this show. Rated this show an 8 (Great with Few Flaws) - the flaw here is minor, just the ending 5 minutes or so, gave me mixed feels, it was satisfying to an extent and goes with the "atypical" theme, but can leave you puzzled as well.

➥ STENGTHS:
✦ Unique story: it has fantasy, romance, suspense, bit of comedy, heavy topics of trauma/depression/death/school bullying, body images. Love that proper & equal attention is given to all of these themes with a satisfying ending or hint for what could happen in future.

✦ Pace: Personally loving these short formats - and while this drama had a lot of past scenes bought up, it is not a filler but rather builds the plot forward. It many seem slow in the initial 2 episodes when you are binge watching, but then it is the episode that is building the foundation of the story. It picks up gradually - every episode giving you answers to previous episode's questions but also bringing in new suspense/twists.

✦ Acting: Flawless - every character breathed life into their role & deliver it convincingly. You'll fall in love with the main leads - their chemistry is awkward & then too cute but natural. The ML & FL have all my heart for giving us this unique pair - they seem like they'd be friends or lovers IRL. While these were the central characters - others also played their part well, supporting the story while giving us an insight on their own stories/challenges/motives and had a satisfying ending - be it a good or bad character. More Character Analysis below - but special call out to the main leads ML, FL, ML's sister and daughter, FL's uncle.

✦ Music: Only heard "Lee Sora’s I See You" but that was enough. The intro and starting word "bichereom" arrest you every time it played during & at the end of an episode. It was a character on its own - given that it was a slow ballad and started softly, you would anticipate it to come, as soon as an interesting scene happened in the middle of the episode or a cliffhanger. Very different from other OSTs - as usually the verse/chorus is played loudly to emphasize on the events unfolding onscreen. But this one quietly creeped up on you - very atypical and mysterious - a great fit for the drama!

✦ Cinematography: Aesthetically pleasing! Given the fantasy nature of the drama, which had to depict time travel and other superpowers of the family, this was very well done in terms of the effects. They blended it well, so that it did not seem unnatural. Also, the visuals from characters clothes, make-ups, settings were also aptly balanced. Nothing too ostentatious or shabby given the conditions / differences they had to highlight for the main and scamming families.

➥ WEAK POINTS:
✦ The ending 5 minutes: Related to the main leads - though the ending remained true to the theme and name of the drama - ATYPICAL in every sense, it is a double edged sword. As some would be happy with it, but others like me would have wanted a more longer explanation than just an implied conclusion. Though not rushed, but then they could have avoided scenes of the support characters and shared what exactly happened for the ending to happen that way it did, as they were the main leads.
It is a time jump of 5 years or so that is showcased - which is lovely to watch, but it leaves you wanting for more.

Mild Spoilers & Main Questions:
How did that little boy managed to get the father back? And how did his mother allow him to take on such a dangerous task without any context? Or are they all dreaming?

➥ OVERALL:
Highly recommend that you BINGE this drama – because it is a neat little package with well-done plot themes of romance, suspense, superpowers, importance of support of family & friends, scams, comedy, time-travel and fair bit of action too! The cinematography and music add to the viewing experience, and it is a delight to watch!
