Not Your Average Alien Flick!

I really enjoyed the series! Although I’m not usually into alien invasion stories, this one caught my attention because it gave me vibes similar to All of Us Are Dead, and I’m glad I decided to give it a shot. The way the story was structured kept me hooked from start to finish, and even though the main characters are students, their confusion and gradual development made it even more fun to watch.

Na Ra quickly became my favorite character. She reminded me of Namra from All of Us Are Dead: mysterious, cool, and incredibly capable—maybe even more than the guys! I also really enjoyed the subtle chemistry between her and Kimchi, even though it wasn’t the central focus of the story. I really hope their relationship doesn’t end in a tragic way, though, given the nature of the show.

That said, there were a few things that left me feeling a bit let down. For one, the entire class surviving throughout the chaos felt a bit unrealistic. In a situation like this, with the aliens attacking and the danger constantly escalating, it seemed like the group should have lost more members as time went on. The fact that they stayed relatively intact took away some of the tension that could have made the story feel more high-stakes.

Another issue was the lack of clarity about when the aliens actually arrived. We’re told they came a year ago, but there’s very little explanation about how they arrived or their initial invasion. It would have been nice if the show gave us more backstory on this, as it would have made the alien threat feel more grounded and impactful.

There was also an inconsistency with the size of the aliens. In episode 1, we’re introduced to a huge alien that devours the top student, but after that, we only see smaller ones. The show doesn’t really explain why the larger aliens disappear or how the characters know which ones are big and which are small, especially when they talk about the aliens in the sphere. This felt like an oversight, and I think it would have been helpful for the writers to clarify these details.

Overall, despite these few issues, it was a fantastic series, and I’m definitely looking forward to Part 2. The mix of alien invasion and student dynamics made for a unique, exciting experience. I hope the next part addresses some of the gaps and keeps up the momentum with equally engaging action and character development!
