DNF but may return in the future for the FL

TLDR: This show is like broccoli and ice cream. Both are good on their own but combining them results in something that is worse than the sum of the parts.

Disclaimer: Average for me is a 5 so everything above that is pretty good to perfect and everything below that is pretty bad to horrendous. I know nothing about what goes into making a good TV show so my opinions are solely based on how much I enjoyed aspects of the show relative to previous ones I've watched.

Overall: It feels weird rating a show I didn't finish but I honestly couldn't get through any more. I dropped this show about a dozen times throughout the first 2 episodes and got whiplash so bad I almost ended up in the hospital. The tone is the sole reason I'm dropping the show. It tries to do too much with very different storylines back to back which felt super disjointed.

Story: Like I said above, if the story doubled down on one aspect or storyline, this would've easily been a solid 8 for me assuming they didn't drop the ball in some other way. But the tonal shift between the mystery and slapstick humor was so jarring I honestly felt like I missed some scenes every time the camera cut. Spoilers, but how are you going to go from a woman essentially being sexually assaulted on camera to quirky music and loony toons sound effects. K dramas tend to struggle in the tone department in my experience, with very serious situations being brushed off and lighter issues being viewed as the apocalypse. But this takes the cake for biggest disparity between what is going on in the show and the tone that is being set.

Not much else to say since I didn't get to experience most of the story but I really just couldn't get through the disjointedness of the first few episodes and my assumption is that the shifting back and forth isn't going to change.

Characters/acting: Not too much to say since I didn't get to see them grow as characters but the FL was pretty much the only reason I made it to episode 3. She is quirky, funny, and the only character where it makes sense for murder to be not that big of a deal seeing as how she is invincible. Still not a great look since it seems like she doesn't care about the people getting murdered... but they're also strangers so I'd give it a pass. I think I view her character in a more positive light because the tone of the show fits her character well. A serial killer on the loose probably doesn't mean much when you can one punch them into the shadow realm. For every other normal person though the tone really makes no sense which probably detracted from my view on their characters. Other characters didn't leave a big enough impression for me to comment either way and it wouldn't feel right handing down judgement on a fraction of a performance.

Music: Not a music person and didn't get to experience enough.

Rewatch: I might give this show another chance to see if the things get better but I wouldn't bet on it.
