This was my first time watching a superhero -style drama, and it definitely set a high bar for me. The writing was exceptionally good, focusing more on the relationships between the characters, as well as individual development not just for the sake of the plot, but for better understanding of each character's actions and motives.

Ji Cheong Sin stood out as a memorable antagonist, with the actor's creepy rendition of his final struggle between himself and the spirit that possessed him. His arc was well paced and as a viewer, I was thoroughly invested in the whole thing. Baek Hyang Hee, as well, was a formidable antagonist that carried her own weight, even though she was a minor character. Her struggle with Hana was well thought out, with the two as polar opposites but evenly matched.

Each of the Counters had their own stories, and losses, which were introduced in a heartfelt way. From Mo-tak's heartbreak, Ms. Chu's grief, and Ha-na's guilt, each time we learned more about them my heart broke even more.

The mayor's drama was a little too drawn out, in my opinion. Towards the end, I started getting bored with Noh Chang-gyu and Cho Tae-sin's infighting, though the scene with the water bottles was one of my favorites. I liked that the serious tone of the story was sprinkled with some absurd humor to lighten the mood and remind us that all is not lost.
