The dad looks straight out of House of the Dragon, I spent half the runtime trying to place him

That little girl is such a sweet, capable actress for her age, I'm weirdly proud of her

Adorable kid and charming leads, but the slap count is absurd and the grandpa reveal takes about forty episodes longer than anyone needs.

Connor as a character is fantastic, I'll watch anything with him in it 🤩

The concept of this short drama is fascinating. A woman fleeing a mysterious organization flags down a truck driver for help, and the two conceive a child in the truck. The next morning, the man leaves her for reasons unknown, implied to be an illegal or legal arms dealer given the context. Five years later, they reunite when she tracks him down to hold him accountable as their daughter's father. It turns out he is the richest man in the world, claiming to be 'stronger than Superman' (!) and effortlessly leaping over a speeding car, hinting that he is some kind of superhuman. He and his father conspire to keep their relationship a secret under the premise that 'the time is not yet right.' When the wife's CEO position is threatened, he demands that powerful domestic and international entrepreneurs repay favors he once granted them, one of whom even declares he would hand over his entire fortune if asked. The setup is intriguing, but the hidden truths are never revealed: How did he make his fortune? Why was he living in hiding? How can he leap over cars? How can he take down multiple men at once? The idea is brilliant and the acting is great, but it leaves all those dangling plot

The 'most terrifying man alive' watches a stranger rip a necklace off his daughter's neck and just smiles waiting for backup. The six-year-old is the only one acting her wage.

Heart-wrenching storytelling. Though the execution feels a bit rough around the edges, the overall narrative is brilliantly put together. With a bigger budget, this could easily have been a masterpiece.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<
