Good detective storyline, bad character writing, does not know what it wants to be

This is a show that, at least to me, does not know what it wants to be. It has campy humour, some dark portions, detective/mystery portions, super abilities, all mixed together in a weird soup.

The premise of the story was very interesting, and quite well executed in how the various characters get their powers and how they use them. The detective/mystery portions were pretty good too. However, the characterizations were sometimes sacrificed for the campy humour, and also making some really stupid decisions out of nowhere. For example, how detective moon went around sniffing white powder like an idiot. They seemed to seesaw in portraying him as a good detective , then a useless one that only knows how to depend on FL's powers.

Overall, it probably did not deserve such a low rating, but my personal hate for that is pretty high so it outweighs the other good stuff for me. Still, managed to finish it, worth a watch at least

Amazing

I only started my Kdrama and Cdrama journey at the same time, when covid started and I had a lot of free time on my hands, so I might not have watched as much of the older "Must watch" shows that most of you have. Still, I have lurked here for more than 3 years and this is the first time I felt compelled to write a review.

This is quite a simple story really, reminiscent in some ways to the old "Heroes" show (at least season 1 when it was great). However, the casting, acting, directing and overall storytelling here was a total masterpiece. It's a more character driven piece rather than story driven, and from the students to the adults, all of them impressed me totally.

Loved them all and hope for a season 2!
