Great movie ruined by the romance.
The plot was interesting enough on its own that I didn't know it needed this "action" plot type part.I watched it as soon as it was released because I was waiting for it and SJK captivated me from the first scene. The actress is very talented but the romance plot could have delivered the same plot devices the writer needed without the unnecessary drama that waters down the plot and makes it more unrealistic.

Not the best ladder but still the best this year
I think I liked this one a lot the games were fun (most of the time) and the members looked like they were having fun which is the best part.if I were to rank the ladders having recently watched them:
#1 Season 2: I can see improvements from the first season and I can see all the members. It truly felt like they went somewhere precious and bonded together. I also noticed how often they mentioned filming and the trip even after the promo period.
#2 Season 1: Very close to #1 only losing because it was only cbx which is not a bad thing. I felt that they truly needed that time off back then and the trip was both fun and healing for them.
#3 Season 4: It was a great comeback after a long time. We can see the members are the same as they always were. There is this light sense of maturity on their faces and natural glow. However I think I mostly loved it when the members were chatting on their own I wished they played them more board games like in Season 1 and 2 because that seemed to be the part everyone enjoyed the most in each Season besides eating of course.
#4 Season 3: I had a hard time watching this one. I think the episodes cutting all the fun parts for the behind was part of it. Just as I was getting excited about something I got teased to watch the behind. The missions in both 3&4 only survived because kyungso took it upon himself to make it hard for everyone. I liked that they got to enjoy the area and look around chat and stay together but it felt like something was missing the entire time and that I blame the behind on.
in each season watching the members is what mattered the most and to that end we are all happy. I just can tell the production team either changed or changed direction in the middle.
I highly recommend watching all seasons if you want to get to know EXO and if you're not a fan yet Season 2 and 4 are great to watch for games and activities.

Great show - coming from someone who doesn't like ghosts stories!
I am so happy I was able to watch this all in one go. I didn't pay any attention to this drama because I couldn't bring myself to watch another show about a ghost - good or bad. This one was so well made and well told that it didn't feel like a ghost story.This is a show you shouldn't spoil before watching. Don't read too much and dive into the first episode you'll find yourself watching the next one.
What I loved was that the slight romance (that last episode scene when Hongsae held the cup is going on my top 10 romantic scenes), the historical background, and the acting were all in the perfect doses.
Shout out to the drum OST sound that hypes up the horror scenes.
