I was so in love with this show since I first saw the trailer. I knew this was for me because I'm so down for Sci-fi series. Usually, there's not much sci-fi in Korean dramas but this one is outstanding. The beginning of the show is so attracting. It hooked me from the first ep.

The idea of bringing AR game to real life is brilliant. So creative, you could hardly imagine. Movie pace is pretty slow for viewers to catch things up easily. (I wish it was faster like US shows). They did an overwhelming great job on VFX!! The casts in this drama are good as well (they are famous for their great acting). I'm especially impressed by Chanyeol's acting (plays SeJu).

But from Ep.13 til the end, it's full of "flashbacks". They put together cutscenes from previous episodes, which is a waste of screen time. It shows they lack of storyline for the ending. And that's why the ending is very disappointing.

Could've rated 6/10 but because I love the idea, the VFX, and how they film is really cinematic, so 7/10.

This kdrama is halfway airing and I couldn't wait to write my review. That's such a quality series, it's been such a long time ever since i watched a good kdrama. From the 5 first minutes of the 1st episode i got chills! Im hooked on it. There are a lot of unanswered questions, yes. But thats what it gets you hooked on this drama.

This is a series where they show you something amazing and explain its mystery little by little. It's about a super realistic Augmented Reality game. It's fun, but there is a problem. I'm a technical person myself and I understand they want to keep it mysterious and interesting, but throughout the series I was continually making comments like: A programmer wouldn't do this, this isn't correct, why don't you check the servers, debug your program, ... But the worst part is that the series often violates the logic they created themselves. The first season ended with an open ending leaving many questions unanswered. I wouldn't want to go through a whole second season just to see the unanswered questions answered, since I feel they messed up the "mystery logic" too much. I would want to see a satisfying ending in the form of a movie tho.

The representation of place 'Granada' with such an imaginative scene. The mind blowing story telling, every episode reminds you of past plot, and give chills about what's going to happen. If you don't find any of the above what I mentioned, then it will be at a point where it's dwells into emotions(story) of romance and relationship. So much different aspects/genre in one series, Glad I didn't miss this experience.

I can't say much and speak my mind about this amazing series without spoiling key events, but i can tell you from a lifetime experience in watching all kinds of series and movies of all languages and all genres that this is one TV that you would never forget, a must watch!
