I stumbled upon the show by accident and at first was turned off by the idea of two dimensions. I seen this done before in other ways and it’s OK but I wasn’t sure about this one. I decided to give it a try because of Lee Jong Suk, as I have liked him in a few other shows. I’m glad I decided to go with it. It took a couple episodes to really grab me but by episode four I was sucked in – pun intended.
The writers of the show definitely put a lot of thought into what they were doing because even when something doesn’t make sense they tie up the loose end later in a way you weren’t expecting. Sometimes I forgot that Kang’s world was a cartoon and whatever was happening could be seen by everyone else in the “real” world. The only thing that really got on my nerves was the doctor in the real world - if that’s what a professor is like to his students he should not be teaching. Thank goodness none of my professors were ever like that I might have punched them in the face.
The show isn’t perfect it has issues like any other show. But if the idea is to be entertained and drawn in to the point where you really hate for the show to end that I think the writers and overall production team have succeeded.
