Alive is a web series with an interesting premise and a very good moral to take (which I won't spoil but sincerely hope any watcher understands it). It deals with very serious themes, such as death (suicide), bullying, abusing of power, etc, while tangling said main story with a fantasy/horror plot, leaving you at the edge of your seat with each episode, dreading to know more and more despite the thrilling scenes.

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.
