I honestly went into this with low expectations, considering the reviews and the blurb, but it turned out to be better than I expected. I appreciated that the characters were dealing with very real life issues like finding a job, being motivated, etc, and some subtle humor was actually decent.

As expected for a short web drama though, it didn't get to explore these things in depth as much as I wished it did, and the ending felt very bubblegum as everything just suddenly started going right.

The more action-packed plotline was also a nice surprise — it's rare that web dramas try to explore a story that needs so much backstory. Sadly though I felt like the resolution was very deus ex machina, and it had no lead-in or sufficient explanation.

I also really didn't like the side characters, and maybe part of it is just that there were way too many, and they all seemed to be dealing with the same issue of not knowing what you want to do in life. And the robot would solve it for them — it all got a bit repetitive.
