A nice series. It works in spite of the convoluted story because of its strong cast and solid characters. They get you invested enough in the story that no matter what crazy stuff happens, you still care about them. At least for me.
This was just a lot of fun!! They really captured the magic of what people loved about the first series and infused…
Absolutely agree about what the best parts of season 1 were. Most especially the brothers' dynamic. I was so happy to see season 2 focusing more on Yeon and Rang. And the new stories they focused on also were able to stand on their own.
I know we all know who's paired up with who, but I'm looking forward to seeing the cross-pollination (why is that the first word that comes to mind lol) scenes. Like, for example, I loved that Boston-Top scene in the bathroom. The sexual tension was so hot. And I remember the hot kiss from the pilot trailer. The mixing up of the pairings and all the messy drama that will come with it is going to be a lot of fun.
The first episode was definitely fun. I'm looking forward to all the sexy messiness to come! lol I'm most excited for Boston and Nick's story, mainly because I'm excited to see how Neo and Mark deliver.
It was fine. Great cast. But probably would've been better as a feature film. They could've cut out half of the series and still have the same amount of story and character depth. Tighten the story. If they wanted a more character-driven drama, then it should've been longer. But I think it would've been a different series. Fine as it is, but should've either been shorter or longer depending on the type of overall result they were looking for.
My only complaint with Oasis is that they waited too long to focus on the brothers. Like, I absolutely understanding waiting until the finale for the big reveal. But they should've really built up the tension between them much more in the preceding episodes instead of focusing more on other less interesting stuff. The last third of the series felt like it was going in circles. A lot of time wasted on the corruption/gang stuff, but never really contributing to the main event which is of course DH vs CW.
After the first few episodes, I realized this was going to be a more soapy drama. So I enjoyed those elements and the final episode absolutely suited the soapy approach to the story.
Okay I don’t understand why people saying is bad ending. More below With spoilers.
For me, I don't think it's a bad ending. It was the road that led to it where I think they could've done things differently and better. Especially with the relationship between DH and CW.
The final episode was satisfying -enough- and good considering the rocky path. But I definitely think they missed some opportunities to make it an even more emotional and dramatic conclusion.
The last 2 episodes were fantastic. This was a heartwrenching drama and even more weighty because of the historical…
I actually expected Cheol Woong to take a bullet for Doo Hak, I think that also would've been a tragic ending. The typical "villain" (even though he;s not really) redemption ending kind of thing. But I think they did a good finale.
