more members, less fun (unfortunately)

This season definitely has different vibes with the previous one. It feels more of a game show rather than healing trip like in the third season. There are more EXO members joining after they finished their military duty. The games and ladders prepared by the staffs are also various and more complicated. However, this season feels lacking compared to the previous ones. It might have to do with the pacing for the survival game that feels a bit lacklustre. Or the ending of the overnight mission that does not feel balanced with the effort the members put and create disappointing ending for the audience. There are also less moments when the members are working together or simply being together yet we know from the previous episodes that those moments are the ones that make the show enjoyable.

Doesn't make it not worth watching though! It still fun to watch, just don't compare it to previous seasons.

Ngikutin banget sampai episode 6. Habis itu kerasa banget draggynya dan akhirnya nonton skim sampai episode 10 sebelum nggak sanggup nyelesain dan akhirnya mengandalkan sinopsis dramabeans aja :|

Sebagai fans berat drama tema reinkarnasi, aku bener-bener nungguin ini drama dan pada akhirnya... kecewa. Episode 1 dan 2 plotnya menjanjikan, akting aktor anak-anaknya juga merenyuh hati, intronya cantik bener! tapi makin kesana ceritanya rasanya terlalu banyak jalur konflik yang ingin diambil, tapi malah jadi berbelit-belit. Sebab utamanya, editing pacingnya yang lompat-lompat. Akhirnya penyelesaian ceritanya berkesan lambat terus di satu episode jadi terburu-buru. Kepuasan yang harusnya didapat audiens sewaktu konflik terselesaikan jadinya nggak dapet. Elemen tell ketimbang show juga membuat drama ini agak capek untuk diikuti.

after all, to err is human.

Definitely a breath of fresh air in a very saturated Cdramas world. Also one of the best I've watched in a long time.

It's not very often for cdramas (and asian dramas in general, really) to capture the bad side of humanity and presented it as redeemable. Many dramas tend to have characters in opposite extremes of evil vs good spectrum with no place anywhere in between. This drama does not shy away from that. The main character made a mistake, realized it too late, and painstakingly tried to correct her mistakes when she got the chance. The story is very well paced with clear plot. None of the characters are 2 dimensional. Overall very engaging to watch till the end.
