Binge watch an excellant futuristic sci fi drama feat. Kim Woo Bin

So much happens in six episodes, and yet everything so well written and so well paced, it's amazing to watch it unfold. Kim Woo Bin does an excellent job driving this drama from start to finish. The plot is very linear, but sophisticated. You have to pay attention to every detail, because this drama won't repeat itself twice. Our characters are full of life, and love, and the actors portray them very well. Our three main characters, 5-8, the dashing deliveryman, and the 'hope' 'legend' for the refugees is the man leading us to equality, and freedom. Our second character, Sawol, the future deliveryman wants to follow 5-8's footsteps, and we come to know he is a mutant in later episodes. Because of Sawol's mutant blood, our antagonist, Ryu Seok, wants him to cure his own illness. Then we have our Major, Seol Ah, who will do whatever it takes to protect her family, and the citizens of Korean.

I highly recommend this drama. A very good binge that won't leave you craving for more, and with a satisfied ending. If you are a Kim Woo Bin fan, you are in for a treat. Not only does he look healthy, and dashing, he portrays a superhero characterized very well by his amazing acting.

Female lead is annoying, but get's better. Also, she never turns into a damsel

Drama had a lot of potential, but the writers didn't put much thought into articulating the story line.

Major issues with the female lead character, her tsundere trope fell flat, and annoying. Constant nosiness, bashing, and stalking the male lead became overbearing. It was neither funny, nor cute, her character was outright horrendous.
The age difference between the male lead and female is never explained, which is ridiculous. Considering in a flashback, she is a middle schooler and he's in police uniform, it' s mindbogglingly they think no one would give it an afterthought.
The Idea of Café Minamdang is interesting. The gang has great chemistry, and the plot should've been revolved around them. The acting is superb, from everyone. The female character is being bashed, but Its not her that's the problem, it's the writer who wrote her that way. I'm so grateful they never turned her into a damsel in distress.
The romance is forced, because Kdramas unnecessarily add romance because of their obsessions with it.
The music is fabulous. I haven't missed the entrance once because It's that good.
The re-watch value depends on how much of a fan you are of Seo In Guk.

Enjoyed it but also dissapointed at third part

This is my first 'Grave Robbers' drama, more like an introduction for me. After sleeping on it for a while, I finally decided to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I have my complaints, and disappointments, but in all I loved the Iron triangle, which was the main reason for me to watch this.

I'm a huge fan of Bromance/BL so when I came across a video on youtube depicting WuXie/Zhang Qi Ling pair - I was more than excited, I started this right away.

I enjoyed two thirds of this drama. Albeit being slowpaced, and draggy, ZYL and HJJ were amazing with their performance, and I found their interactions interesting. The mystery wasn't that alluring to me, I really didn't care, but for the sake of watching the iron triangle, I tried to keep up with it. Wu Xie's character was a puppy, I loved his whumpy scenes, and Zhang QL's badass moments (though there weren't many). Fatty was hilarious, annoying but hilarious, and they made such a good pair. I really enjoyed watching their screen time together.

I didn't like the side show of Black Glasses, I didn't find his part in the drama interesting, also his love interest had no point at all. To keep the soap opera going, they kept dragging her along to the point I started skipping their scenes. This drama was doing good, until the third part. One of the main characters fell off the face of the earth - Zhang Qi Ling, and the second main - Fatty became support. They were replaced by the character of Bai- this is the part where the drama just fell apart. The amount of disappointment and sadness I felt was upsetting. I really set myself up to enjoy this drama, hoping the story and bromance would be the main focus, but at the third part, we are shoved with a lovey dovey female character who is also a damsel.

I missed the iron triangle, and I hoped they would stick together. I really enjoy these actors depicting their roles as each character, and It's disappointing how they swayed away from the friendship/bromance to shoving romance just for the sake of proving heterosexuality. I know Bai will be a main character in the second season, and am not sure how I will take it. But for the sake of the Iron Triangle, I will definitely watch.

I will not rate this drama because of the third part. I will solely rate this based on my love for the iron triangle, I give this 10/10 because people like me (who hate romance) aren't that lucky to have such good dramas to watch. I will watch the second season when I get my feelings together after finishing this. Right now, i will go watch a pure bl so I can get the taste of Bai out of my system.
