I thought this was ok, but not great. Not sure if I would have liked it better if I was more familiar with the various name-actors doing cameos as themselves, as I mostly had to rely on the recaps to have those in-jokes explained. And the ending was pretty unsatisfyingly "let's leave every plot dangling until the next season, if there is one." I mean, I wasn't super surprised at that, given that the source show had 4 seasons. But I'm used to kdramas having more conclusive season finales than this.
