OKT is rather clever, he practices a move as old as the world to perfection, Divide and Conquer. He tells them true stories by adding two three little lies and here they are all in confusion, in the middle of an existential crisis. He has understood that he does not need to do more to sow misery for his enemies
Although I have specific preferences in the dramas I watch, I remain open to other horizons and considering the positive reviews I saw, I thought why not try this one?! So, I watched until the 3rd or 4th episode and frankly I didn’t like it at all. Like the other versions I dropped it. I find the protagonists very immature, They scream a lot and it’s pretty tiresome. But what bothered me the most in this version is the acting of the F4, especially the male lead. You can see that he’s acting, and it's so not natural. He’s absolutely not convincing in the transcription of his feelings. Which in the end turn me off... On the other hand the female lead is a good actress. Her game isn’t perfect yet but of the 5 main characters she’s the best. And we have to admit that her character was written pretty well.
I had very high expectations on this drama and I still have. But still, there are some aspects that I got a bit…
For my part, I feel obliged to finish it because I want to understand the origin of this disaster. But sincerely if I had to give a note I would put 4, as you I find that there is no progress, the writer wanted to put so much mystery that he got lost along the way, by dint of revealing half truths half lies in each episode, we go completely in circles. The only thing that doesn’t bother me is romance because I just don’t care. Except for the bad guy I find the characters pretty boring, so how do I get attached to them? And generally speaking, romantic stories are the thing that interests me the least, so!
I wanted to test because of the popularity of the drama but frankly it is absolutely not for me. The story is mediocre, the actors are not very good and They didn’t have any romantic chemistry, strictly friendly because they seem to be better friends than lovers.
I don’t understand the outpouring of hatred for this ending. On the contrary, I found that it added a lot of meaning and value to the drama. The title has gained all its meaning thanks to this ending, and above all the writer knew how to convey his message with a lot of emotion and intelligence. Life is unpredictable, we pass from life to death without warning, so every moment we spend on earth must be cherished and not taken for granted. This end may be seen in the eyes of some as a horrible end, but how can we not be moved by the actors? How do you watch that episode and think it’s horrible? While each moment is charged with pure emotion. Sadness is also a way of reminding us that we have been happy in our lives.
I repeat this last episode is the most interesting and the most important of all the drama for me.
I’m really happy to have started this drama, I’ve often had a lot of trouble with Japanese series for several reasons, but there’s one thing they do great, it’s daring to tell disturbing topics. And this drama is no exception.
The 1st episode was extremely painful to watch, I went through every possible emotion, from anger to sadness, from hatred to revolt. But it was so impactful that it raised a debate in me in view of my profession (legal advisor).
This drama definitely deserves to be known, cause it's so deep and emotional. I really like the way it was filmed with the absence of BGM in almost every scene. It reveals a silence full of doubts and questioning of each protagonist. With that ultimate question: "what if it were you in my place, what would you have done?"
Lol, I have the same opinion as you about all these dramas, I still haven’t been able to finish Move to Heaven and Navillera and the other two kdrama I didn’t find them good. I was especially disappointed by TDJ whose script I found poor, it lacked something and I still don't say what. But I’m not a good judge of popular dramas, I noticed that I don’t often share the same enthusiasm for them as others. For example IONBO is another drama that I found barely okay, in fact I'm not even sure if I did like something in it.
With a few exceptions, most of the dramas that mark me don’t make too much buzz, like My Unfamiliar family, Kairos or the recent On the verge of Insanity. These are dramas that I found really beautiful.
The Guest and Strangers from Hell were so good!!! I don't really get the hype of Kingdom though, it was a good…
This drama is not only a zombie drama, It's more than that, it's all about power struggles under a zombie epidemic.. I really liked the fact that there's a political story under the mess. There is a great critique of the quest for power, how far can the human go to gain ultimate power.
Me it’s quite the opposite I didn’t understand the hype behind The Guest, I found it repetitive.
I think I have understood the mystery of this drama, even if the facts are drawn from a true story, the final revelation will be exactly like the one on Shutter Island.
The Guru is none other than the police officer himself; Knowing that everything is told from his point of view and that the dates are not really concise, I say two things to myself: either he is older Jo Kyung-Ho, or Jo Kyung-Ho is his alter-ego. He does not conduct an investigation, it is on him that a psychiatric experiment is conducted. Won-Taek, the chief of police, and Ji Seung, the prosecutor of Busan, are actually his therapists. Pay close attention to the interviews he has with them, the absurdity and paranoia of his answers, and the way they insist on certain points.
Conclusion, while the 1987 attack did happen, the rest of the story is a fantasy of the Detective who must probably suffer from schizophrenia and paranoia from the trauma of the 1987 attack. I think it was the guilt of not being able to save people or possibly of having contributed to the attacks that led him to this state of disillusionment. Or he suffers from the guilt of the survivor.
Fight For My Way and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, frankly didn't like these 2, but they deal with the subject and They're quite popular.

1 because he was a megalomaniac,
2 because he felt that she had tarnished his favourite son (the eldest),
3 because he simply didn’t love her,
4 because he knew that she still had the power to raise an army because of her origins.
