As for the horror aspect, take it from a scaredy-cat like myself that it was bearable. There's no loud, jarring sounds; no unnecessary suspense. Everything is done in an apathetic, cool manner.
The acting might not be the best thing since sliced bread but it isn't bad. Pacing and shooting were nicely done too. Alive is an excellent web drama if you're looking for something different from the usual romance, slice of life stuff, but don't hold high hopes either.

I bumped into this series accidentally and as someone who doesn't like horror I was reluctant to watch it but decided to give it a go as a break from my usual drama. The horror wasn't bad at all, it made me jump a little here and there but I can say it's because I'm chicken sh** when it comes to horror. I'm sure that to someone who enjoys horror, this isn't scary at all. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this. The pacing was well done, nothing was dragged out, and the story flowed well. It's a little gory, but not enough to scare me away (I'm super squeamish). I liked the ending, which I rarely feel I do with shows so that was a plus for me. I would definitely say give this a chance, it's not long--truly feels like one long-ish movie--and it's an enjoyable watch.

Getting to the story, I liked the setting of the call center and the concept of the show. It not new in the least but it is interesting enough to make you want to watch and find out what is going to happen and why things are happening the way they are. So that mystery element is a good driving point. I won't claim it to be the best show but for 10 min episodes, it's a fun watch. It's the length of a movie.
If you are a huge horror fan, then you might not enjoy the series as the scary parts are mild. Then again it might be worth giving a shot.
