A sloppy mess for an interesting setting

It became quite apparent right off from episode 2 that this was a massive flop. The drama would have worked wonderfully and masterfully as a movie or at least as a 3-4 episodes short drama, otherwise, it's absolutely riddled with problems in its current condition and format. The unique setting and scenery weren't enough to help its case. It ingeniously transformed the art of storytelling into a chaotic, avant-garde mishmash of disjointed scenes that left me pondering the deep mysteries of life, such as whether the writers had ever heard of structured narrative or if they were just operating under the belief that plotlines are mere suggestions for lesser beings. Each plot twist, if one could even call them that, was a tantalizing leap into the abyss of narrative incoherence, leaving me on the edge of my seat not in anticipation, but in a desperate attempt to maintain my balance amidst the swirling vortex of plot holes and character motivations more elusive than a unicorn at a camouflage convention. I can't thank the creators enough for their valiant efforts to reduce character development to a cryptic crossword puzzle that nobody asked for, but we apparently all deserved, according to them. I wish to see better attempts going for a similar setting and theme from more competent creators. It's hard to recommend this drama unless you're a diehard fan of some of the cast members. Jun Ji Hyun disappearing for ~5 years then coming back with this project was nothing but a disappointment. It made it harder to be excited for her next project "Polaris (2023)".

Highly Recommended ?❤️?

I'm writing this review after hearing all the mixed opinions on this drama and finishing the very last episode. So I watched this drama since it was airing and trust me this is beautiful. It got me hooked till the end. The plot is full of mystery and thrilling but still it has its own beauty<3. The cinematography and acting is top notch. Yes the pace is a bit slow but it's totally worth watching.The storyline is totally different and it met my all the expectations I had from this. Firstly I watched this for Jun Ji Hyun cuz she is one of the best actresses out here. Everyone has done quite justice to their characters. I enjoyed this non- romantic suspense filled healing plot a a lot. If you're looking for a good action thriller this is for you. I was too scared for the ending but it turned out to be equally beautiful. The ost will heal and sooth your soul. I totally love this one. Highly recommended<3

Most disappointing drama of 2021

On paper, the premise sounds interesting: murder mystery set on the scenic Mount Jiri. Alas! This devolved into some sort supernatural sci-fi about ghosts wandering the mountain. CGI and camera work were extremely bad in the first episode; so much so that I wanted to drop it right there and then. Camera work does NOT do the scenery of Mount Jiri justice. I was honestly appalled by how bad it was; considering that this show had such a large budget. I've read that CGI and directing seem to improve in the later episodes but I did not stick around to find out. If the story had been good I would have stuck around, but sadly no. Plot is haphazard and there are many time skips (pet peeve of mine). Supernatural angle felt so unnecessary as well.

Acting wise it was average. The leads are big name actors but I was not wowed by their performance. Guy spends most of the time in a coma. Supporting characters have too many filler comedic scenes that don't seem to jive with the tone that the drama is going for.

OST was forgettable but I recall I did not like it.

TLDR: Jirisan travel vlogs on youtube are more entertaining than this mess.

Give it a try.

A good drama to watch.There are some supernatural elements in the drama like visions and ghosts.
What you can expect is for first dozen or more episodes, new case (of rescue/search/other elements) almost every episode kinda like procedural drama but it is about Park Rangers and their teams. There is also the element of Investigation of murders and it is one of the main background storyline. The chemistry between the Main lead is fire even though there is no romance , but they care for each other deeply and are great partners having each others back.
To get to know the drama and all its elements watch first 3 episodes and then decide to drop or to continue watching.
All the actors are great as they should be can't expect anything less from such a spectacular Cast.
Music was great too.

jujur aja, drama jirisan ini jadi salah satu drama 2021 yang paling gue tunggu-tunggu penayanngannya. waktu pengumuman line-up main lead muncul, gue sebegitu super excitednya. bayangin aja dua veteran bersatu dalam sebuah judul drama yang engga biasa. ditambah lagi jejak rekam sutradara dan penulisnya bagus-bagus dan gue suka banget. gue yakin banyak orang juga yang engga sabar pengen nonton jirisan.

sebagai tim anti baca sinopsis dan nonton trailer, dengan hanya mengandalkan nama sutradara, penulis, dan pemeran utama, jujur aja gue cukup menaruh ekspektasi tinggi di drama ini.

di episode pertama, drama ini ngasih unjuk bagaimana riweuhnya jadi tim penjaga gunung, dan menurut gue itu menarik banget. makanya gue kira drama ini tuh genrenya slice of life kaya misaeng. tapi kemudian, entah di episode berapa gue agak lupa tepatnya, tiba-tiba muncul unsur misteri-fantasi dengan munculnya kemampuan ‘melihat’ hyunjo. setelah gue cek ulang mengenai deskripsi umum dramanya, ternyata emang bener genre jirisan adalah thriller-misteri-fantasi.

karena sudah menetapkan ekspektasi cukup tinggi sebelumnya, tbh gue jadi agak kecewa dengan hasilnya. padahal, premis awal yang pingin diangkat udah sangat menarik dengan mengangkat profesi yang tidak akrab dengan kebanyakan orang, jadi ini mejadi suatu terobosan baru. namun sayang sekali pengeksekusiannya--bisa gue bilang--berantakan.

pemakaian alur maju-mundurnya kacau, ga jelas, ga beraturan. gue tau maksudnya pasti pingin bikin penonton penasaran, tapi sayang banget, menurut gue jirisan gagal total. selain itu, banyak juga hal-hal yang engga masuk akal di sini. kayak durasi naik-turun gunung juga lokasi ‘tepat’ setiap tempat yang disebut dalam drama (misalnya pos-pos jaga dan lokasi batu apalah itu namanya, dia ada di atas atau di bawah gunung atau di puncak kan gatau, ga jelas). dan menurut gue, ke-enggak-jelasan itu memberi kesan bahwa drama jirisan ini terlalu mengawang-ngawang.

kegagalan makin terlihat jelas ketika drama sudah mencapai episode 14 (yang mana berarti hanya tersisa 2 episode lagi) tapi masih belum ada titik terang dari pokok permasalahan utama, yakni si pelaku utama pembunuhan dan masa kritisnya hyunjo. konklusi yang baru dikebut di dua episode terakhir membuat jirisan menjadi anti klimaks. intinya sih, benang merah jirisan terlalu pabaliut alias kusut.

untuk CGI yang sempet dikomentari warga, menurut gue kasarnya cuma di episode pertama-pertama aja, ke sananya mah udah mulai oke lagi. untuk ost engga ada yang spesial.

secara keseluruhan, gue cukup menyayangkan ‘kekurang-sempurnaan’ drama ini, padahal karya-karya milik sutradara dan penulisnya jempolan banget huhuhu. rate dari gue sih 6.5/10.

Jirisan, montagne sacrée de la Corée, pleine de mystère.

Ce que j’en ai pensé :
Ce n’est pas innocent que les scénaristes aient choisi la montagne de Jirisan pour y planter leur histoire, car Jirisan est par excellence et par essence le cœur de la Corée, la montagne magique où les esprits se promènent, où on pratique encore le chamanisme, et des rituels réguliers.
Extraits d’un article de Géo magazine :
« C’est par ailleurs l’un des endroits du pays les plus riches en qi [l’énergie positive] et en spiritualité », analyse l’anthropologue "Benjamin Joinau, professeur de civilisation à l’université Hongik de Séoul.
« Nulle part ailleurs dans le pays, la symbiose entre le peuple et la montagne n’est aussi forte, insiste David Mason, professeur à "l’université de Sejong et spécialiste du sujet. C’est un haut lieu de syncrétisme entre bouddhisme, chamanisme et animisme. »
 "En Corée, on naît, on vit et on meurt dans la montagne », assure un adage. Une exagération sans doute. Mais le trekking reste "quand même, et de loin, le loisir préféré de la population, malgré un temps disponible restreint – entre cinq et onze jours de "congés annuels. D’après une étude de 2016, 30 % des 51 millions d’habitants seraient d’ailleurs des randonneurs chevronnés. « Nous avons des vies très stressantes, il faut toujours être performant : c’est pour cela que nous aimons tant côtoyer les "sommets ! » rigole Kim Euy Gon, 50 ans, croisé sur l’un des innombrables sentiers du massif sacré.

Une fois qu’on a bien tout ça en tête, le drama prend un tout autre sens, car Jirisan est partie prenante autant que les gardes forestiers de l’histoire. Le réalisateur s’en est donné à cœur joie en vues époustouflantes des sommets, des forêts, des incendies, ou des inondations, nous faisant bien sentir que l’homme n’est que toléré parmi cette nature sauvage et grandiose. D’ailleurs on peut lui reprocher d’en avoir fait parfois un peu trop en cadrage bizarre et en allongement un peu excessifs de certaines prises de vues… Mais j’étais si heureuse de retrouver un lieu qui m’avait enchantée que je ne m’en suis pas plainte !
Le garde forestier Kang Hyun Jo a vécu un drame personnel dans la montagne, et depuis il ressent une communication particulière avec Jirisan…
Le réalisateur a privilégié les changements de temps , on passe très souvent du présent à un passé récent, ou plus ancien, ou encore plus ancien, et cela demande un peu d’entraînement au début. Je pense que le récit aurait gagné en clarté à être un peu moins haché et un peu plus linéaire, sans cependant abandonner complètement les changements d’époques qui sont indispensables vus les changements d’état des héros principaux.
L’histoire est très prenante, les soupçons se portent sur divers suspects, qui, peu à peu éliminés, nous mènent au final à la découverte du coupable. C’est une part du scénario que j’ai beaucoup aimée, car tout au long de l’histoire le fantastique et la réalité triviale ont été mêlés avec habileté, et la résolution de l’énigme nous ramène à ce qui a toujours justifié le crime : l’argent, la vengeance, terriblement humaine, jusqu’au moment où c’est la montagne elle-même qui va conclure le destin du coupable !

Donc en conclusion, je devrais dire que j’ai beaucoup aimé ce drama… sauf que les 10 dernières minutes ont tout fichu par terre ! ça ne m’étonne pas du réalisateur de Descendants of the sun » ou « Mr Sunshine », mais la (le ?) scénariste de Kingdom et de Signal aurait pu nous épargner cette fin ridicule !
Attention SPOILER :

Que Hyun Jeo se mette à respirer seul au moment où on le débranche, on peut passer, mais qu’on nous laisse croire tout un épisode qu’il est mort alors que … Oh ! mais qui est là ? Contemplant le lever de soleil ? mais c’est lui ! Bien vivant (hop un petit flash-back de 10 s montrant l’infirmière expliquant le retour à la vie ), cette vieille ficelle de faire croire à la mort de quelqu’un pour le montrer bien vivant ça a été usé et archi usé ! Mais le pire c’est Yi Kang, paraplégique depuis des mois, sans jamais parler de la moindre rééducation, ni d’un quelconque espoir de remarcher, hop !! la voilà debout, bien costaud ! Comment ??? Pourquoi ??? Ben on n’en saura jamais rien !
Et à côté de ça on accumule des flashbacks inutiles au lieu de donner un minimum d’explication à ces « miracles » !
En plus du ridicule achevé de ce happy end forcé, toute l’atmosphère du drama, de la puissance de la montagne qui peut faire du mal, du lien très spécial que s’est créé entre les personnages et cette entité magnifique qu’ils servent jusqu’au péril de leur vie, tout disparaît dans cette fin de romance à l’eau de rose !
Donc si vous regardez « Jirisan » arrêtez-vous 1/4 d’heure avant la fin !

Foi um drama que eu realmente só tive certeza do real assassino quando já estava praticamente entregue de bandeja, ou seja, nos últimos episódios (eles souberem segurar bem)

A trama tem uma pegada mística, então acabou tendo até um fantasma, levei susto com ele na primeira vez que apareceu depois eu comecei com as teorias de quem seria ele (e não é que acertei?). E pasmem meu povo, mais pra frente eu simplesmente estava com pena dele e tentando entender o porque dele ter ido parar ali (o bichinho era todo solitário? mas foi de suma importância pra história)

Só teve uma coisa que aconteceu com a protagonista no último episódio que eu não entendi nada, foi milagre dos céus?? Porque explicação não teve, se teve perdi essa parte ?

Não posso deixar de falar da fotografia que está de tirar o fôlego e da ost também, porque ela é simplesmente incrível, minhas preferidas são: Destiny (Kim Feel), Yours (Jin) e Falling (Kim Jong Wan).

Mas enfim..."Jirisan" foi um drama que me deixou bem curiosa e até emocionada em muitos momentos.

É um drama cheio de flashback, me perdi um pouquinho mas logo tudo fazia sentido.

E como toda dorameira bem iludida, eu shippei sim a Seo Yi Kang e o Kang Hyun Jo apesar de não ter romance nenhum, mas pra mim tinha química ?

É um drama que vale a pena ser assistido, e se você gostar de mistério e não ligar com coisas sobrenaturais esse é o recomendado.

Une très bonne découverte !

Un très très bon drama. Je l'attendais depuis les premières annonces et je n'ai pas été déçu. Le casting, que je ne connaissais que très peu en dehors de Oh Jung Su et Go Min Si ont très bien rempli leurs rôles. Je m'attendais à un simple "tranche de vie" de gardes forestiers mais la partie enquête ne m'a pas dérangé, au contraire. On a un bon entre-deux niveau policier et quotidien des rangers. Chaque personnage avait son importance en plus des rôles principaux, c'était agréable. Le seul bémol, je dirais que c'est les timelines. Les bandes noires marquaient la différence entre passé et présent mais c'était un peu confus par moment. Mention spéciale à l'OST qui se fond bien avec le drama ! (Surtout celle de Kim Feel qui colle parfait avec le ton de Jirisan !)

Que hermosas vistas!!

Que placer es ver dramas como jirisan donde la trama esta tan bien guionada que no vas a saber quien es el culpable del problema hasta que este resuelto o casi resuelto, donde puede haber muchos flashbacks o contar la historia en distintos periodos de tiempo pero poder entenderlos sin mucha dificultad.
Podria parar hablar de muchas cosas que este drama hizo bien pero hay una que me parece excelente y personalmente creo que esta por encima de las demás y este es el trabajo del director, hay tantas pero tantas tomas excelentes que refuerzan todo lo realizado por guionistas y actores (todos un excelente trabajo) que es imposible no notar su toque en todo. Hay escenas de acción como escenas sentimentales que son una locura de lo bien hechas que estan (quiero hacer una mension al recurso del slowmotion que sin dudas lo veo en todos los dramas de lee eung bok, es su selló distintivo aparentemente y amo todas las escenas en la que los usa)
En fin no tengo quejas o casi ninguna de este drama pero no hay una que pueda manchar el excelente trabajo de todos en este hermoso drama, si quieren un drama con emociones, suspenso y paisajes tan hermosos que te hagan decir "quiero subir esa montaña antes de morir"
Este es tu drama

Montanha do Mistério

Ji Hyun e Ji Hoo estão com atuação fantástica, impecável e super fluída. Eles são de uma geração madura que já atuou muito e ve-los atuando juntos, assim como o grande elenco, foi de tirar o fôlego!

Assistam Monte Jirisan, além de ter uma história de muito mistério, tem uma fotografia linda de dar vontade de ir voando para lá.

A trama tem uma pegada místico bem leve e o mistério em torno das regiões inexploradas do Monte Jiri e seus muitos visitantes, deixados para a equipe de resgate desvendar. Mas o que leva aos infinitos assassinatos foi algo bem real, que com certeza cada país deve ter um conto parecido...o ser humano mostrando seu lado monstro.O grupo de guardas florestais e outros funcionários do Parque Nacional de Jirisan em uma missão para resgatar mochileiros perdidos e sobreviventes..
Muito bom! Excelente!!

Eita dorama do meu heart!

Demorei mas aproveitei cada momento dessa obra prima!

Sério mesmo, eu nunca fiquei tão perdida num dorama quanto com Jirisan. Eu não fazia ideia de quem era o assassino e ficava mudando e acusando todo mundo à cada episódio. Acabou que eles esfregaram na minha cara quinhentas vezes e eu me fiz de cega.

A trama te envolve de um jeito que você fica com receio de assistir o próximo episódio porque já sabe que vai sofrer. Eu chorei e não foi pouco! Não podia ver o coitado do Jung Goo Young que meus olhos nadavam.

Todo o elenco arrasou na atuação! Foi a minha primeira vez vendo a Jun Ji Hyun atuando como patroa e eu amei. Só teve uma coisa que senti muita falta: a união desse casal. Daria tudo pra ter visto eles juntos, nem que seja um episódio especial.

O enredo, o desenvolvimento dos personagens, o fechamento, e a trilha sonora né CLARO! Amei tudo e super recomendo! Agora se prepare porque ele pega é pesado!

Concluído por mim: 29/07/22
