An Absurd Comedy That's Amazing When Bingeing But You Realize It's Average in Hindsight

Watched this upon a friend's recommendation.

The show was already finished and I watched it all as fast as possible. Amazing without pauses, but once you're done or take a pause, you realize that it's actually not that great.

The comedy is mostly revolves around the irrational anger and physical violence that the MC turns to abruptly and he gets embroiled in gang activities, where the MC would have been beaten to death or hit by a truck at a crossing on a random night if it was an actual k-drama about chaebols but plot armor prevails in a comedic drama.

While i feel that the score of 7 is a little bit too high, scoring it a 6 or lower would not be reasonable as it is entertaining while you're watching it. It's difficult to give a just score as again, once you think about the show as a whole, you know that it wasn't that good.

I actually followed the main actor's other dramas because of this drama, and this show's success did propel him to stardom, but the dramas after this are all mid, or very short productions, like Island, which was split into 2 parts because they were uncertain about the show's success but still ended on a cliffhanger regardless, only to make Island 2 quickly on it's success but the long break in between had already taken it's toll on the audience
