Even though a few things feel a little off, this drama is pretty innovative overall. From the character dynamics to the unique concept, it's all fresh and keeps you hooked. The plot development is getting better as the story goes on, too. Each main character stands out, and the writer's take on superpowers is seriously impressive. The show's huge highlight is how they blend superpowers with emotions.

When I first tuned into this drama, I was blown away by its quality. The creative endings of each episode and the unconventional music were really refreshing. But as the story went on, it started to feel a little predictable, like the main conflicts were easy to spot after a while. It's the same old "one survivor" type of story. Still, the kid's storylines were a nice touch and added some fun to the series.

The whole story felt a bit illogical, especially the ending, which felt quite rushed and unexpected. The son's powers are way too OP like he can just casually time travel and save everyone, which doesn't make much sense. Moreover, the relationship between the main couple doesn't feel natural, and the changes in the two moms' characters weren't set up well. The story setting is cool, but overall, it still fell into the spiritual salvation cliché.

This show is seriously amazing, and I feel that it's underrated! The idea was fresh and interesting, and I was hooked. I'm not usually into the time travel stuff, but this show is all about love and how a family of scammers and a family of superhumans help each other out. The logic is spot-on, the visuals are top-notch, and the story is easy to understand. The music is perfectly timed with the plot, too. I highly recommend it!

It has that tragic beauty, like Don Quixote, when it shows this main dude with supernatural powers who keeps saving people from fires over and over. The characters aren't flawless; they all have their own stuff to deal with, but how they keep striving for happiness really speaks to me.

This drama progresses way too slowly. The female lead's character is interesting, but the storytelling is flat. Her identity as a con artist should be exciting, but the script focuses too much on the family members without superpowers, making the plot seem long and boring.

The screenwriter did a fantastic job making this time travel drama feel logical. The chemistry between the male and female leads is fantastic. Chun Woo-hee's acting is just stunning, and the whole cast is on point. Jang Ki-yong's performance is a breakthrough; he's much more mature. The soundtrack takes the entire show to another level, giving it a really cinematic feel. The length of the drama feels right—and the emotions are perfectly portrayed.

This drama starts off slow and might even feel a bit boring at first. But as the story progresses, you really become more emotionally invested in the protagonist. The title "Although Not a Hero" in every episode really helps you dive deeper into the theme of heroism.

This family superpower TV drama has a really unique plot. The screenwriter did a great job tying together all the plot points. People were expecting how they showcased time travel, which was indeed satisfying, but even the timing of the time travel is genius. Jang Ki-yong's acting has improved, though there is still room for improvement.

This drama tries to focus on the fantasy aspect, but it relies too much on logic and practicality instead of emotions. While it has some sci-fi stuff, the characters' personalities, feelings, and behaviors are a bit confusing.

This Korean drama is seriously heartwarming. The plot about the guy who loses his superpowers and the two leads saving each other through tough times is a bit clichéd. But this show itself is well-executed. They successfully make a formulaic story feel fresh and exciting.

Mesmo que algumas coisas pareçam um pouco estranhas, essa série é bem inovadora no geral. Da dinâmica dos personagens ao conceito único, tudo é novo e nos mantém ligados. O desenvolvimento do enredo também melhorou à medida que a história avançava. Cada personagem principal se destaca, e a visão dos roteiristas sobre os superpoderes é impressionante. O grande destaque da série é como combinam superpoderes com emoções.
