What a ride!
I have a feeling like I'd been hit by a ton of bricks. Unannounced and unexpected! It has been so long that I haven't enjoyed a drama so much!
I am so NOT fan of school themed dramas but this one is a fantasy/scify one taking place in a school and the gifted students are a kind of junior X-men !
What I liked:
- a tightly woven storyline: zero plotholes
- anthology like first part (I love anthology series in general so...)
- superpowers that do not need CGI
- great cast: perfection for every character, even the minor ones
- great background soundtrack helping set the mood of menace and danger
What I did not like:
- PPL and even though they were used as a part of the plot it was too much. The boys were thirsty all the time, the girls had dirty faces that needed washing halfway through the school day and they all snacked on cereal often. Hence the lower rating than what I wished to give it!
The story ran smoothly. The first half of the drama was spent mainly on giving us background stories of major characters while the second part is when the main storyline about abuse of power was developed. All the questions were answered by the end and even though the corrupted system remained there is the hope of the second season's endgame. The undercurrent theme is the elitist school systems that leaves kids behind with adults abusing the talents of the gifted ones (and talents do not need to be superpowers!) Kids can try to tell the truth, but are seldom listened to or believed by adults. So like in this drama kids decide to use those talents and reveal the truth.There is everything in The Gifted: drama, romance, comedy and a lot of twists! I am probably not writing anything new about this series but I loved it!
Great watch! I just binged it in two days(thank god for the weekend!). It has a great rewatch value since you might want to see the things you missed! I have first discovered GMMTV as the serial makers of school bls but recently I've watched Mama Gogo and 55:15 which were amazingly brilliant! This one is just as good! And I was probably in the right mood for something like this! On to the second season!
