I had so much fun with this one! Usually I find the dramas with blended genres a bit imbalanced but this is not the case for TBM. The action spy drama is complimented by the comedy very well and the show itself is self aware to a certain extent which makes use of some of the typical tropes in unique ways.

However, the last couple of episodes are a problem. The spy plot did not hold its ground and the product placement was just plain ridiculous. I have no problem with it, even find it amusing but the last three or four eps here were just pure commercial and it got on my nerves. On the other hand the first ten episodes or so are amazing - the tempo is there, the story as well and the cast is out of this world.

I really, really, really loved every single character here. So Ji Sub is just the freaking best. Not only did he dig out quite solid chemistry with the female lead, but he is phenomenal in the scenes with the kids. I also liked Go Ae Rin as the female lead. Yes, she was foolish sometimes but she honestly surprised me by being quick on her feet and helping the main plot progress.

Now, the KIS is another thing. This is the purest #squadgoals. I loved how they showed the contrast between the spies and "neighbourhood ahjummas". The KIS sometimes came across some things/cracked some with just plain wits and the spies using all the gadgets were clueless. I enjoyed that a lot. Not to mention the Kim Bon/Kim Sang Ryul bromance.

I will for sure come back to this. Some scenes were iconic. Music was nice, again, it used well the balance of the drama and was intense when it should be and playful when there were lighter parts.

All in all, I had a blast watching TBM. It made me giggle and the in the next second all tense because of the spy plot. Great drama.
