I won't really recommend watching this. But if you were really, really bored and it is the only thing that you have to watch then go for it. That is how I ended up watching this.

Such potential, but wasted
This drama had everything. A great cast. An amazing list of OST & BGMs. Beautiful direction, editing and cinematography. But the story...there was no plot.The first 6 episode was perfect. The story started strong and you could feel that, this was going to amazing. And then out of no where the biggest problem is gone. In one episode the main characters are just getting to know each other and in the next they are in love...
The second leads had a better story to be honest. If in the second half they would just ditch the main couple and solely focus on the 2nd lead's love story I would have given it an 8.
It could had been THE DRAMA of this year, even Goblin's level if the story-line was fixed...such potential but...shame.

3 things in this drama are truly amazing. The story, acting & the ost.
A very simple idea but properly written and then properly executed. Recently I'm really hard on the stories I read/watch. Always looking for mistakes. But I could hardly find any plot-holes here. Which such a big thing when you are writing stories with slight time/parallel universe in them. So many places you can mess up. But I couldn't find any here. The story was written flawlessly!
The cast was amazing. I loved the main lead and for me he basically made this, this amazing character that he was given into life. Absolutely loved his acting. His expressions were so good! And the female lead too. The different between the two characters she played. Wow. And others too. Loved it.
The OST was sooooo good!! It was perfect with the theme of the drama and really made the scenes more alive. The vide it gave off , wow. Totally made the moods. Loved it.
This for me is one of the best OCN dramas I have seen so far. On top with Tunnel it stays.
Totally recommend others to try this if they haven't watched it.

This review may contain spoilers
not really a spoiler in the review but just in case...
With movies and show like Train to Busan 2 and Kingdom this just falls flat in comparison. It is not a bad movie. It's decent. Not amazing or great. Just good.When I first saw the trailer I was really excited about it. It looked amazing. Kind of gave me Dead Days - webtoon- vibe. And I was so into watching this. I couldn't wait to find it and watch.
But now that I have, I realized how amazing this movie could had been if they had just changed a few things.
The acting was good as always. Nothing on that.
The story however was just badly done. Like few times in the movie the plot just didn't even made sense. Seriously running through a road full of zombies but not even a scratch on the MC? ...........
This had the nicest zombies I had ever seen in a movie. Only bites in the neck and runs so damn slow, that it gives out MC's enough time to think, plot and execute a plan.
I am not gonna re-watch it. Once is enough.

For me the synopsis was what caught my attention. I haven't watched the original movie, so it was a fresh story for me.
I loved the story. How the tension was created and the climax was build up. Especially the ending. For me that made the movie 10 times better.
I liked the cast. The characters were portrayed nicely, enough for you to get caught up in their moments.
The music helped created the atmosphere, the tension that was needed for the climax. I like how they used different types of songs -not their ost- to show a new light to the character. Really smart.
Will rewatch this. And i highly recommend it, if you enjoy drama. It has a lot of drama.
An overall good movie.

A very typical plot. Group of teenagers in a haunted amusement park. The story is all over the places. It is hinting romance, a slice of life, psychological thriller, and horror all at once. And it just becomes a really hot mess.
None of the characters looked like they liked each other, so off the bat you are with characters that you feel no connection with.
The acting is okay. For me story always comes first. If the story got me hooked I can tell how the acting was based on it. But if it is a bad story not even great acting can save it. And it did not have that great acting portrayed by any of the actors.
I will not recommend it to anyone else. Waste of two and half an hour.

However with this one, it's different.
The story line is something we are quite familiar with. Youtubers goes to a scary place to film & ___ happens. Same with here. But what makes this movie different, is that it get on your nerves, in a good way.
I paused, so many times while watching, that I lost count. Not a lot of jumpcase, but a whole scene where you can see how its happening. That what makes it more scary. Loved that.
The way the story flows, specially the way the film is directed, it just sets it apart from the rest. Applause to the director.
The cast was perfect. I loved how they acted. All of them are good actors, so expected nothing less.
The music is low & it stretched, taking the whole scene with it. It wasn't over done, something that happens way too much in horror movies now days.
100% going to rewatch this. Probably not alone. With a friend - who haven't seen it- at night.
Please do give this a try if you love horror. It's an amazing movie!

I started this only for the actors. The first episode was actually nice & interesting. But after that it lost itself.
The acting was good considering the fact that the actors only got a few line - it was 15 minute a episode. And it has an ending, or something close to an ending, which is good cause we never had an ending for 7 first kisses.
I actually enjoyed 7 first kisses more than this, mostly because 7 first kisses had a better story line.
The actors are all good looking, so its good for your eyes.
In short its a long ad. Don't think to much of it.

The Cinematography was great. If I could, I would had given a 10 just for that. And the makeup, that was also really good. It was realistic and really detailed.
Second is the acting. Shin Rin Ah, she was absolutely amazing. I really liked how she performed. From the beginning of the movie you get drawn into her character, because of the way she portrayed it. She is going to be an amazing actor in the future.
And Lee Joon Hyuk. Even though he had a short screen time, I loved his part. Actually got me scared a little, at first.
If we talk about the story, then I would say that it is lacking in places. There are parts in the movie that has nothing to do with the story. And a lot information wasn't given. You kind of have to guess your way around it. Also ending wasn't really satisfying for me, cause it still leaves me with questions.
Nothing major.
Its a good movie for a one time watch, if your looking for something new to try out.

Best thing I did that month.Because I didn't knew anything about the drama, I didn't had much expectation but that was a good thing. Because it blew me away. It completely took me by surprise.
Though I really really enjoyed it, it might not be every-ones cup of tea. It's heavy on the crime part of the plot and there are some jaggersons or technical words- which are hard to understand. But once you get past that part it's all gold.
The story. It's a crime story. The good guys taking on the bad. There are some plot holes - like every other stories. But beauty of this drama is that you can never guess what's gonna happen next. Every time I thought 'oh, i know whats gonna happen next' nothing like that happen. Sometimes I had no idea what was going on, until ten minute later.
And it doesn't resolve around the good guys. It shows the 'evil' peoples side too, their reasoning, their plan. A side to their story. I really like that.
This isn't heavy on the romance which I was ok with it, because it isn't a romance story, the lack of that romance tag says it all. But Min Joon and Ha Ri's chemistry was a bit to ....hot. I was screaming ship, ship from the moment I saw them. Another slow romance couple is in there but I'm not going to spoil it. Same is the bromance. It's more on to the brotherly-love bromance and that goes perfect with the story line. Makes more sense.And I really really really liked the ending.
The cast is amazing. There is no point on saying how great they were, because we all know that. I am not going to take a single person apart and talk about them, because I liked all of them. I loved how Woo Do Hwan played Min Joon. I liked Jang ha Ri and Ryu Hwa Young's attitude just made her ten times more sassy. I liked Yoo Ji Tea playing Choi Kang Woo, he brings a different set of emotion to the table. This is also the first time I saw him and I am going to check on his other dramas. Then there is Jo Jea Yun playing soft hearted, ex-gangster cheetah-shi and Kim Hye Sung playing Noo Ri. And Cho Won Young playing JH. He is a really versatile actor. I really liked his last scene.
There are three songs in this drama. All of them are so so good! NiiHwa's song is my jam!!
Totally gonna re-watch it. Have to.
Again I am not gonna tell you that you have to watch it. But if you give it a try it will win you over on its own. So do try it!

And this is a drama with a serious case of 2nd lead syndrome. So be warmed, your heart will ache.
The story is very simple. Unhappy couple, goes back in time and tries not to fall for each other again. See, simple.
NOT.
In every episode it goes deep into long term relationships and how it works. It focus how we ignore the simplest things, how we take things for granted that in long term it doesn’t even exits for us. And how the things we do, the miscommunication affects a relationship.
It’s beautifully written and thought out story. And very, very pleasing for the eyes.
I think in every episode I probably said that ‘it’s my favorite episode.’ There are moments that will make you bust out in laughter. And then there moments with Seo Jin and Jin Joo’s mother to cry your eyes out.
The cast was lovely.
I thing Jang Na Ra was perfect to play the Aajuma and 20 year old. She has the perfect face for it.
Jang Ki Yong was my favorite of all. I’m not gonna lie form the moment he was on screen I was all over him. He, with his perfect little shy smiles and glances made it hard for not to fall for him. I think I was rooting for him the entire time.
Son Ho Jun, sorry mate Jang Ki Yong stole your thunder. But I loved the way he played Ban Do. In the end we could see the character growth.
Love the OST, there are beautiful. But I’m hopelessly in love with ‘Confession’ by Choi Nakta.
Rewatch value…10/10.
There is nothing to say actually. It’s just a beautiful experience to have to go through a drama . And it makes you greatful for having love in your life. And being forever single I can tell you that, love and being in a relationship with a person who you love and who loves you in return is a great thing. And this drama teaches that.
So do give it a try. Please give it a try!

It's short, full of emotions and fun to watch. I really loved the story. I love this old-school themed stories, so it was for me. It's based on 1979 time period and I love that time set in here. Plus the Deagu dialect is really nice to hear, something different from Seoul dialect we are used to.
It has 'Reply series' vibe to it - probably heard that from a lot of people - which is true (I started to watch the Reply series because of this drama).
This is a text book story of coming to age and first love and crushes. And it truly is about girl generation - but not that Girl Generation - we can see Jung Hee and Hee Joo who are in their teens, her mother, Auntie, number 3 all this woman, in different age group of that time fighting their own problems and facing them. And it is about girls in different generation coming together.
The boys are here, but they help to make the girls look more stronger, not the other way around. Though it doesn't stop being just about the characters either. It shows - glimpse of it at least - how the people used to live that time, things that shaped our culture into something that we see now. And you can see how much we have changed. And how much we haven't.
Plus you can ship anyone with anyone. You can try the drama, just to see if your's makes to the end or not. (Mine did!).
The actors are all new to me. But I liked Bona. She made Lee Jung Hee more relatable to me. Love Chae Seo Jin. Have a crush on Lee Jong Hyun. I don't know about others but I really liked Do Hee's performance as Shim Ae Sook. To see her character grow like that, it was really satisfying. I really liked that.
The OST's in it's self are nice. But it has some of the top 1970's song in it, both Korean and English. And it makes you feel that old time vibe. Love that.
Some of the moments in this drama are my favorite, so I'm going to re-watch those and probably the whole thing too. Cause why not? It's a nice drama. It's short but the story end's perfectly with it's self.
In the end it gives 'complete' feeling. And I can imagine the rest of the story in my mind. It's a really cool drama. Do watch it!! #HopingForAnotherSeason

But it's true. I was in a really bad drama slum when Save me came as a beacon of light and took me in this dark, twisted path. And I loved every second of it. This type of drama are very rare in the world of K-drama. So when I found this unique drama, with good story and amazing actors I can't stop but praise the about it.
The story is definitely different. Religious cult are real and they are active not only in Asian countries but all over the world. And they are scary. This drama tells this tale of a person who is trying to get out of there. And it's dark and twisted and it has you questioning about sanity of people but it also makes you connect with the characters and their pain. Head's of to the writers.
It's very well written and something up my ally.
The actors were amazing. Got nothing but good things to say about them. Seo Ye Ji was amazing. Her posture, her voice (I really like her voice, deep and rich), the way she shows her emotions. She is so good. And then there is Woo Do Hwan, rookie of the year, playing Dong Cheol. For me he stole the spot light. I absolutely adored his character and him. He just makes you cheer for him. Can't wait to see him in 'Mad dog'.
Others were great too but I couldn't see them because I was only watching Do Hwan.
Its doesn't has the typical love song in it. But the songs it does has are only, only this drama alone. They are spooky and dark and when you hear them its like you are listening to a horror track. And It scares me. Jung Cha sik's song....creepy! But I loved 'The Vane - hallucination'
I am going to re-watch it. I can't get over Woo Do Hwan. It's not for everyone. But if you like good but dark stories with talented actors and a horror soundtrack then this is definitely for you. But please do try it. Watch it!
Bismika! Teljioda!!

In the first few episode it might seem like a political drama, where its all about power. But as the story progress you see this different layers in the characters and the next thing you know you are rooting for them. There are some part that are very emotional, some light comedy and some sweet moments between the two leads characters.
It starts a little slow but it picks up after a few episodes.
The acting was amazing. Nam Goong Min was awesome. Uhm Ji Won, I really liked her.
Suran's song was Perfect. Love that song.
And lastly...Do try it and judge it for yourself.

It is however ...different.
Even though it was made as an parody the story line has nothing to do with it - except the time traveling and the leads being rich.
It starts off really well and I thought it will something different then what it originally became. After episode 2 the story just went haywire.
I kept watching because I actually wanted to know what the hell will they do at the end. And it was funny.
The acting wasn't bad, per se but it wan't good either. It was some where in between 'what the hell' and 'okay?'
Zon Yang looked really pretty.
The only thing that I actually enjoyed in this drama is the opening song. It was amazing. It was sung by the male lead Wen Zhang. This song was the reason why I continued to watch it.
It was a funny thing to enjoy if you are looking for something different and out of the ordinary. Just don't expect much of it.
PS : A lot of people were asking where they can watch this. So I watched this (in English of course) in ViKi.Com - it's a website. You guys can find it there.
