Four teen boys have a club where they
pick a random mission from a box, then do their best to complete said
mission. This can be anything from “eat until you barf” to
helping someone in need. One of their classmates, Song Joo Hee,
decides to join the club in order to humiliate one of its members
after he called her “poop girl” in front of all their peers. The
“pick-a-mission” club decides to let Joo Hee join because they
need a babysitter (one of the boys gets stuck babysitting a little
sibling). What happens when Joo Hee's best guy friend joins with her?
Will the club be able to complete their missions? What happens when romantic tensions rise between the members?
*The
web drama has a “variety show” feel to it, as each mission allows for
the writers to explore different themes and settings, including
Chinese action, gang violence, and romantic drama. While this can be
fun, when each episode is only 15 minutes it's hard to understand the
“original” characters. It feels choppy. There's some fun goofy
humor, but this format is not my taste. Probably won't watch again.*
