Salmonella warning
Sushi doesn't need to be cooked. Chicken is a different story. Perhaps if "Delivery" was about a sushi delivery, things would have come out fully cooked, but this show is about chickens, fried chicken and a company that delivers it. It's not an altogether bad concept. But it's not even half baked. Or is it fried?In any event, it starts with a perfectly suitable setup. Mi Yeon is the ace delivery driver. Lee Tae Vin and Kim Jae Won are sidekick material. There's a missing mom, a mysterious hotel room, an alien cult and a ridiculous wig. None of these by themselves are really flaws. But there's not a fully developed show around all this. In eight episodes that run 8-10 minutes each, only the first and last episode have more than a shred of actual action. There's also a brief rehash of the previous episode and credits. All told, there's only about a dozen minutes of legitimate content and a good chunk of that is incoherently edited fighting set pieces.
The main culprit is that there's just no dialogue. Without lines for the actors and almost entire episodes with no forward plot movement, even an 8 minute episode is tiresome. Obviously the budget for this project was extremely limited, but that's no excuse for not having any semblance of a script. In the absence of it, there isn't even much to praise or criticize. It's simply an empty (egg)shell.
Not recommended.

The intention of web drama, acting skill, chemistry & fighting scene
Miyeon appear in this web drama with the intention of helping local small and medium-sized businesses that are having difficulty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so i really appreciate it. At first, i watch it for Miyeon. But all cast (Miyeon, Lee Tae Vin, Z.flat, Kim Eung Soo & Kim Jae Woon) have amazing acting skill & chemistry. Especially i really love Miyeon, Lee Tae Vin & Z.flat's fighting scene. They're so cool. The plot is weird but fun to watch especially their acting skill & comedy scene are so good. I cant stop laughing from 1st episode.Was this review helpful to you?
Miyeon, chicken and aliens
Lol. I've never seen such a bizarre story. It's truly ridiculous and that's what makes it funny. Especially when you get to the latter episodes, you learn of such absurd organizations and reasonings that just the mentioning of them can make you laugh out loud.Indeed, while watching, my brain was constantly thinking "wtf???". Even until the last episode I wasn't sure whether the characters were serious and whether the plotline was serious.
I really enjoy that those are short episodes (8-9 min), so you don't need to get too invested into the show. In the end, you should just watch this for a quick laugh (and maybe if you're a Miyeon fan), there is not really a story and a lot of devices are done to obtain sponsors - so you will often see the characters eating certain sponsored products. (Though I have just learned that a purpose of this is to help small businesses in the Covid-19 pandemic. So that's admirable for sure! See https://www.soompi.com/article/1498308wpp/gi-dles-miyeon-talks-about-learning-action-for-new-drama-lee-tae-vin-talks-about-playing-a-nice-character-for-a-change.)
Moreover, it took too long for me for the aliens to arrive, they could have appeared earlier!
But as this is such a short show you won't waste (much of) your time if you just have a go and give this a try.
