One of the smartest meta-romances Korean television has attempted — the comic-book conceit is used for genuine feeling rather than novelty, and Kim Hye-yoon's furious, funny heroine makes the fight for free will land.

Determined to author her own life instead, she goes searching for a nameless extra who also seems to be awake — and falls for him in the gaps between the panels her creator drew.
