A different superhero story

Nothing just an ordinary family living a very ordinary life.

Bok Man Heum is struggling with her family as she wants their power back. Her son Gwi Ju jumps off from a cliff and power does not return. Does Da Hae comes in for the rescue? But it appears the girl has an ulterior plan on her sleeve.

A small and simple opening is unacceptable and unpredictable for superhero dramas. Unlike flying with wings or making their way through eye power, these heroes are struggling. Fighting their demons, they lack their sense of trust in the process. Interaction with normal humans does not help them. Then what is it to build their power again...

Highs of the drama:
1. Plot: It makes the audience think. You will wonder what is wrong with them as each episode builds.
2. The narrative: The director pays attention to building the nuances. The complexities of blood relations are no different than humans. This is the biggest flavor.

Lows of the drama
1. Too many challenges: It is like their struggles take no break. It comes one after another.
2. Poor chemistry: The leads lack the charismatic vibes which often pull the story.

A slow burn love tale

Fan of Bella and Her Beast Charming still makes people believe in fairy tales. But are today's version enough to pop our heart out.

Park Do Ra is an actress who is not willing to work for the upcoming project of a doomed producer. As he keeps on pestering, she keeps on running away. And the story deals with the peeka book.

Highs of the drama

1. The freshness of an unusual pair. Im Soo Hyang paired with Ji Hyun Woo is treat for eyes. Their soft banter, usual hit miss add lightness which pulls romantic stories.

2. Performance delivered by leads as well as additional casts are gem. Every performance deserves an applaud as it is not easy to bring in quirkyness in a myshy romance.

Lows of the drama

1. The story itself is the biggest flaw. It is like watching a concoction of different romantic stories in one go. There's nothing new. Audience already knows how love will happen.

2. Lack of surprise element in the story till far is making the story a drag. Not a single twist has been enough to put smile.

3. Music plays big role in winning audience heart. The background score is not enough to ring in ears even after end of the episode.

Old theme served in a delectable plate

A student was seen running through a dark alley, before ending up blood smeared on road.



After Pyramid Game few months back, Korean drama is back with another high school hierarchy drama. The backdrop is an international school which is regarded as one of the most influential school of Korean. The school works with the mood of Ri an - son of the founder of the school. His mood is souring each day with his tumultuous relation with Ji Ae. Enters a student with scholarship - Mr. Ha.

Reasons to watch the drama

1. The first thing which will work is the plot. Watching a thriler is always fun. And here thriller has been served right.

2. Fresh chemistry: Chemistry does not lie within leads only. The performance observed between characters in charge of pulling the story must align well which is identified in the story.

3. Performance delivered by actors have been terrific. They bore the burden of pulling the story well off.

Why skip..

1. Same hierarchy issue in school. Korea should focus on reducing this hierarchy order in their school. They infact harbour bullies in school more than in other place.

2. Well know theme makes the story predictable at many places. Even though twist is fresh, you just know what's coming next.

Verdict

A school drama with no melodramatic love angle. Twists and turns loaded as story peddling through the mess life of both upper hierarchy and lower hierarchy. If you have missed Pyramid Game, go for it. Also this time it is a boy who is up for revenge.
