Good watch
I'm not familiar with the main character but I'm pretty sure I seen him in something other than a Korean drama but I can't remember. I watched this mainly because of Park Sung Woong who played chief Kang Dong Cheol and Go Gyu Pil who played the owner of that tavern. These two have grown on me since I started watching Korean dramas last year.
I was going to watch this last year but I had watched The Tunnel-which I loved-and Signal-which was OK. Seeing that this one almost had the same premise, I put Life On Mars on the back burner for the moment.
This series was a bit slow which I was OK with because I was able to take my time and watch. Towards the end the episodes were a bit shorter which went by fast so I ended up being able to watching the last six episodes in one day.
I began watching these Korean dramas for the action, drama, comedy, and chemistry and this one had all the above.
I liked the way they did this. It gave me a glimpse of what a person could experience while being in a coma.
I liked all of the characters except for the female...Oy! Her facial expressions always made her look like she'd been goosed and her voice was annoying. I found myself cringing every time she said something.
I did like how they made her bad a** but then they turned around and made her weak. Ugh!!
I'm glad there was no cliche romance in this!!
I will say I wasn't too thrilled about the last two episodes. That's the problem I've noticed with these Korean dramas. It's like the writers don't know how to end their final episodes. It didn't make any sense. They made it seem as if the main character who was in a coma had dreams of the past which actually did happen, then he wakes from the coma only to be disappointed with the present and then was able to go back to the past?? My question is did he ever come out of the coma or did he commit suicide? The epilogue made it seem as if they were going to have a sequel. Since this was 2.5 years ago I highly doubt it.
I hate when Korea leave stuff like this up in the air.
All in all, I'm glad I remembered to watch this. In my opinion The Tunnel was better but this one was also good to watch.
