- The drama "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hero Isn't My Style</span>" has aired half of its 12 episodes, and its viewership rating is similar to other dramas.
- The drama's plot, which revolves around the protagonist's time slip, seamlessly travels between the past and present. The pairing of Jang Ki-yong and Chun Woo-hee is also intriguing.
- The drama tells the story of a family who loses their superpowers due to a modern-day illness. It explores themes of family relationships, forgiveness, and the possibility of reversing the past in an interesting way.
<Not a Hero>, which was chosen as the most anticipated drama to start in the second quarter, has aired half of its 12 episodes. <Queen of Tears> was expected to take over the throne after its end, but <Someday, a Wise Intern's Life> encountered an unexpected obstacle, a residency strike, and its schedule was pushed back to the second half of the year. Currently, the score shows a close race in viewership ratings with no clear winner.
The 12-episode <Not a Hero> is not based on a webtoon.
I expected it to recreate the direction of <Sky Castle>, which sparked the "Mother, you have to trust me completely" craze in South Korea, but the way the story unfolds, moving back and forth between the past and present due to the protagonist's time slip, was very smooth.
In particular, the combination of Jang Ki-yong with his low voice and charming puppy-dog eyes and 천우희, a natural in romantic comedies, is not bad at all.
SBS Drama <My Girl>
The story is familiar, where a con artist (a lie) approaches someone but eventually transcends everything and the two main characters confirm their feelings for each other. 👆
However, depression, insomnia, obesity, and smartphone addiction. It's interesting that the story revolves around the family losing their superpowers due to common illnesses of modern people that almost everyone experiences in their households.
Isn't it an opportunity? Instead of just filling your own pockets, use your abilities for others.
You want to believe in Do Da-hae, too? You want to save Do Da-hae? What are you afraid of hesitating for?
What if I mess everything up again?
I guarantee you'll mess everything up again.
Huh?
But the past with Do Da-hae can be reversed. You can go back and fix it.
Apologize belatedly, correct your mistakes, and
You can mess up and do foolish things with Do Da-hae as much as you want.
Personally, I think these lines are the main themes of the drama.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Da-hae, who reveals that she is a con artist and tries to distance herself from Gwi-ju, will be intertwined with him by fate.

Bunam Beach
The beach where Da-hae saved Gwi-ju is Bunam Beach in Samcheok. It was not well-known due to its somewhat inconvenient accessibility.
Now, it has become a hidden gem of Samcheok, known as the filming location for director Park Chan-wook's film <Decision to Leave>.
It is recommended to visit during the off-season, after the beach closes.
