It's hard to believe that a story about a family with superpowers could be so boring. These people have NO charisma, except possibly the father, played by Oh Man-seok, who also plays the dad in SOMETHING ABOUT THE RAIN.
The character he plays here, I might add, is a total dud in the superpower department - therefore nobody pays much attention to him.
One of the reasons I like Oh Man-seok, other than his eternally cheerful demeanor, is because he's one of the few Korean actors in a major series with less than a lily-white complexion. Hey, Netflix, how about more brown-skinned Asian actors in your series? Thanks.
All the other members of this so-called family might just as well be strangers waiting at a bus stop-for all the interaction they have with their fellow kinfolk.
My main problem with this series is that it lacks any logical coherence whatsoever. Why is the family putting on an elaborate wedding--with no guests-mind you, when A) the groom didn't actually propose, and B) the bride never accepted the non-proposal? Did either of these two ever say? "I love you"? Did I miss something? This is the stiffest, least-convincing romance I've ever seen.
And each person in the family is aware that the marriage is a fraud, and an attempt to steal their money. And each one of them goes along with it. Really?
Then there's the matter of the depressed brother, Gwi-ju, who apparently needs to "save" someone. While the series at first shows us how obsessed Gwi-ju is to "save" a certain dude he worked with, suddenly without any rhyme or reason the target of his obsession changes.
He's now set on "saving" Do Da-hae, a woman who's moved into the house under suspicious circumstances.
But as Ms. Do points out to Gwi-ju, in a rare display of logical thinking-rare for this series anyway--she doesn't need saving as she's a healthy, fully functioning woman. Therefore she must have survived whatever horrible, no good, very bad thing happened to her in the past. You know, that thing that Gwi-ju has a bee in his bonnet about-if you get my drift.
I can't imagine that the writers have answers to all these questions and will somehow put it all together in the end...If they do I'll revisit this review.
