basically great acting, mediocre directing and horrible writing ;)

since the start I was really "confused" about what happened in 1997, why did that guy kill everyone? what did they want with that "mysterious" box, what was the point with everything? and they only answered it in the last few minutes of the final ep when they showed a recap from someone's pov so basically no one really "knew" what happened till the end.

I still don't get why that dude not only killed everyone but also came back to kill everyone, even his own son ;/ and then he cried about it... and yoon park was so obsessed with the "object" that he went off to a hole and died too..... basically cheap deaths for a final blow...


so to recap what I did get, a group of SK soldiers went to look for a box of "mysterious" object. they discovered a NK female holding a baby and a male holding the box. the NK's wanted to go to SK (presumably with that box) but one SK soldier suddenly massacred them? and he killed his team becasue they wanted to save the baby? and he shot his friend in the back for reporting him.. (and miraculously the baby became the fl)
then box NK guy becomes a nuclear zombie and drags "one" of the guys (who turned out to be the ml's dad) because box guy was angry and he causes an accident that killed him and turned that SK guy into a radio active zombie. later on a dog bites him, turns into a dog zombie and infects two more people.
and this is where the story starts, the group hunts the "target", the psycho SK guy comes back to kill more people (like how did anyone even follow his lead) and people died while nuclear zombie dad blows up the place which leads the normal SK people wondering where more than 10 people disappeared too... and no one but the mains knew the truth.. like the "government" didn't care they were like here's your secret records deal with it yourself?


yes, to summarize it it did not need 10 eps at all! it only needed 2, 5 max.. like nothing happened in those long long eps. there was not enough character growth, there was not enough character base tbh they really wasted the actors potential..

also the director was not any better, the recaps drove me crazy, 1- I do not need to be reminded of what happened 5mins ago and 2- the back and froth between the time lines and the overall feel of the drama felt flat.


I do love the actors though, especially JDY and he did an AMAZING job, the rest also did great. for ost tbh I don't think they even had any beside JDY singing ;) and I never rewatch stuff, I hope this opened up more doors for the cast though
