It is about the MISSING Persons and the loved ones who were left behind.

If you are considering to watch this series for “entertainment purposes”, you may want to think again. This series was created not to entertain the audience, it was created with a mission. What is the mission? To inform and remind the public that there are a lot of missing persons around the world, and they have families who are also suffering because of it.

The series was not amiss in depicting how the majority of people dismiss and ignores missing persons. How we just pass them by, or pretend to read and care. But we don't share the burden, simply because it hasn't happened to us.

This series is about that. It is not about romance, or drooling over your favourite actor because they are handsome, pretty, beautiful. It is not even about the writer's skill in storytelling and the director's artistic vision in bringing the story to live-action.

“Missing: The Other Side” is about the missing persons, the families left behind, and the circumstances behind the missing persons… which many suspects were due to crime primarily.

Is there going to be a Season 03? I doubt it.

The way S02E14 ended hinted that they've achieved their goal when they first pitched this idea to sponsors. They ended it in a way to remind the audience about missing persons, and how you and I should share the burden and help in whatever way we can.

It is open-ended because the issue about missing persons is a “story” that will never end.

Creating a Season 03 will only dilute the message and impact they created in both Seasons 01 and 02. The third season will be nothing more than “milk the audience for ratings and advertisements”. Why? Because the message was strong and sent already. Any stories they create in a third Season will simply be a repeat of everything they already told in Seasons 1 and 2.

Which brings us back to the important point of this series:

It is about the missing persons and the loved ones who were left behind.

EXCELLENT SERIES! DONT MISS THIS SHOW

This started slow for me but right after episode 3, I cant stop watching and binged all the way to season 2. I personally think season 1 is better but dont get me wrong, they both kept me glued on the screen and anticipating.
It is an excellent drama tbat is welk directed. The story smokthly flowed and every character played a vital role, connected to the story.
I would have missed this show if not for Netflix. I am not sure it is available in other pkatform but if you have the chance, don't skip watchibg this show and stick past the first two episodes.
The way season 2 ended, I am strongly hoping they will have a season 3.

I loved the first season, but the second season blew me away. It brought everything that I loved from the first and more. It introduced a ton of new characters and new people to be found. I felt their stories were even more heartbreaking from the first too. It also gave us 2 new lead characters in the village that I just fell in love with.

Once again though, I skipped past all of the fraud/scam story in the beginning. I never really cared for all of that in the first one either and once you move past it, the drama is way more interesting in my opinion.

The leads all do such a great job at tugging at your heartstrings, but I especially loved Pan Seok even more in this season. You can tell that he is still raw from finding his daughter but not being able to find her in their previous village. It really adds a layer to his character where you can tell he is really effected by everyone he meets at the new industrial park. It made some of the missions super emotional and their reactions made me cry even more.

One character that kept my interest the whole time was Il Young. The curiosity of his abilities and all of his story as it unravels throughout kept me on my toes with trying to guess where it was headed. The actor does such a good job with playing his character and bringing all of his ups and downs to life. His character development was amazing too. Another lead was Captain Kang. She is basically the "Thomas" of this village, helping the newcomers adjust to their new "lives" inside. Her character was easy to fall in love with and I couldn't get enough of her energy. Every scene with her has you laughing, smiling and eventually crying with her.

The ending was so open ended though. I hope we possibly get a third!

What about Alice?

I'm sure that there are many folks that loved Season 2 of this series. I liked it and was mostly entertained. It had been a while since I watched season 1 and I likely missed some of the tie-ins from that series, but generally the show delivered what I expected. I felt it bogged down a bit in the last couple of episodes as it seemed to move away from what I felt was the more satisfying aspect of the show, that is, finding the bodies. And then there was poor Alice, and a bunch of other unanswered questions that would normally indicate a 3rd season was planned. I would have preferred things to be tidied up nicely. If I want reality I'll watch a documentary.

this series will be the death of me

⭐engaging storylines
⭐i cried so much + crazy tightness in my chest when someone says goodbye (+in action scenes too, like in the "Voice" series)
⭐with the seasoned cast, acting is stellar
⭐I just never tried rewatching crime dramas ever. for my well-being, XD and this will not be an exception

Season 2 hurts more because of the kids. Or it's probably just my maternal instinct kicking in.
It's more interesting than Season 1 because of what Il Yong is able to do. I think it'll be great to explore that in S3. Hopefully, there's season 3!

Too many cliffhangers and unanswered questions

I wanted to love this season as I gave season one a rating of 9/10. But I just couldn't. There were too many cliffhangers and unanswered questions.

The Bad:

---No resolution against the biggest challenge of this season.
---Unsolved missing cases.
---No mention/dropping of a large conspiracy.
---Unexplained changes in how the ghost village and its residents are allowed to behave -- upending last season's world building.

The Good:
---More screen time for female cast members.
---Mystery and resolution of one of the main characters’ abilities.

Unless you enjoy watching shows with huge cliffhangers and unanswered questions, I’d recommend against watching this season. Season 1, although it has a slight cliffhanger, is still watchable.

Missing: season 2

this really takes off after the first two episodes with lots of interlocking stories and characters great k drama mystery thriller with a supernatural dimension and the back story and fates of the main characters come together well towards the end though I do not totally understand the ending〜maybe leaves open another season? I also like that there is only minimal if any romance as similar dramas are spoiled by it in my opinion ⭐️

Après une magnifique saison 1, une deuxième saison encore plus poignante!

Ce drama a été riche en émotion, j'ai passé plus de la moitié du temps à pleurer. Mais pas que. A rire aussi. Si vous avez tant soit peu de sensibilité et d'humour facile, vous passerez du rire aux larmes en un claquement de doigt. On en redemande, encore et encore. Il est certain, du moins pour nous, que la qualité des Kdramas ont baissé, si je devais comparer à mes premiers balbutiements il y a 12 ans. La première saison fait d'ailleurs partie des derniers Kdramas qui ont su ravir pupilles et âmes. Depuis, c'était un peu le vide. Ce fut donc avec beaucoup d'appréhension que nous avons lancé le visionnage.
Enfin, un Kdrama qui nous aura fait rire et pleurer, comme jadis!

Le scénario suit la même équipe et la même trame. C'est avec un plaisir non dissimulé que nous retrouvons Wook, Pan Seok , Jong A , Joon Ho et l'inspecteur Baek. La bonne humeur et les répliques fusent avec humour et émotion. Ce fut un peu retrouver des copain perdus de vue depuis quelques années.
Contrairement à la saison 1, leur relation s'est bien installée, une vraie complicité, une famille dont la confiance et la loyauté règne sans partage.
Viennent s'ajouter de nouveaux personnages qui apportent cette touche nécessaire au renouvellement d'une série, une plus value. Et ce fut parfait!! L'arrivée de Bo Ra peut paraître clichée, vu et revu, du réchauffé et pourtant comme souvent, quand c'est bien fait, une relation parfaite, une relation certes prévisible mais menée de main de maître, pétillante, amusante et dévoilant une fraicheur longtemps oubliée. Mais viennent aussi s'ajouter ces protagonistes, disparus et présumés morts, apportant un lot incroyables d'émotions comme Capitaine Kang. Sa générosité et son altruisme ont illuminé le drama d'une manière permanente. Impossible de continuer une saison 3 sans elle. J'ai été bluffée par le jeu de Lee Jung Eun qui est une actrice que nous connaissons bien maintenant. Jouant souvent des rôles secondaires, je trouve qu'ici l'actrice a superbement transmettre cette chaleur qu'apporte une mère, cet amour conditionnel envers les autre, cette tolérance nécessaire à la guérison. Bravo à l'actrice qui m'a plus d'une fois fait pleurer....
Il Yong est un personnage qui bien qu'entouré de mystère se découvre rapidement (entendez par là qu'en tant qu'habitué de ce genre d'intrigue, nous comprenons assez vite pourquoi et comment) et qui apporte ce pont entre vivant et mort de manière différente. J'ai adoré sa relation avec Wook et avec "crying baby" ! En parlant de "crying baby" , il fut surement un de ceux qui m'aura le plus touché.
Mais pour tout vous avouer, j'ai dû pleurer à chaque cas, chaque disparus retrouvé. Leur histoire n'est pas vraiment ce qui m'a le plus touché (j'aimerai tout de même préciser que certaines sont...horribles et douloureuses), mais ce fut plutôt cette relation que chacun entretient avec les autres. Formant tous une grande famille, la perte de l'un deux, même si dans le fond ce fut une bonne chose, est symboliquement une seconde mort, et je crois bien que c'était ce qui fut le plus émotionnellement insupportable. Morts une première fois, ils meurent tous une seconde fois et cette déchirure, de devoir quitter ceux qu'on aime, ils la vivent une deuxième fois. J'aurai aimé, vraiment, que certains puissent rester, même après la "mort". C'est un vide qui ne semble pas être possible de boucher.
Une petite mention aux enfants qui ont vraiment bien joué.

Au-delà de l'histoire des disparus, nous suivons la trame qui découle directement de la trame principale durant la saison 1. C'est vraiment sympa, car le lien n'est pas rompu et bien qu'il faut essayer de se remémorer ce qu'il s'est passé dans la précédente saison, il y a une continuité dans l'histoire de Wook et de Joon Ho. Continuité qu'on espère retrouver dans une future saison 3. Il ya encore beaucoup de mystères et d'interrogations qui restent suspendus mais d'un, nous aurons peut-être une réponse dans la prochaine saison, si prochaine il y a, et deuxièmement, j'aime à penser que le mystère restera un mystère insoluble à nos yeux, c'est aussi ce qui fait la magie du mystère...

C'est donc, pour moi, un drama totalement réussi qui a su réunir beaucoup d'humour et d'émotion. Si la touche de romance est quasi inexistante, contrairement à "taxi driver", cela ne me gêne pas vraiment. Espérons qu'une saison 3 nous sera prochainement offerte!

Pour notre plus grand plaisir, on prend les mêmes et on continue…

Nous n’avons plus OCN aux manettes, et ça se sent, la réalisation est plus molle, d’ailleurs il y a 2 épisodes de plus que pour la 1 et ça ne se justifie pas toujours ! Mais cependant je l’ai quand même beaucoup aimé, d’abord par le plaisir de retrouver le quatuor d’acteurs de la 1 qui fonctionne très bien ! Les scénaristes ont su renouveler l’histoire, car ici ce n’est plus la vie de Wook ou Pan Seok qui est en vedette, mais celle de Oh Il Young, qui est le seul mort à pouvoir aller et venir entre le village et l’extérieur, étrangeté qui cache un mystère ! On se laisse dont prendre avec plaisir à cette histoire où les ingrédients de la 1 se retrouvent : amitié, bromance, enquêtes, laissant gentiment de côté la romance, même si on peut sentir combien Jong A tient à Wook et réciproquement !
On suit l’histoire principale axée sur Oh Il Yong, et les trafiquants tout en appréciant les enquêtes de destitution des corps des habitants du village.
La fin est assez ouverte, on ne sait jamais, au cas où les producteurs seraient tentés par une 3, mais elle est moins clairement annoncée que la saison 2 à la fin de la 1 !
J’ai regardé cette saison avec beaucoup de plaisir sans ressentir de lassitude ou de sentiment de réchauffé. C’est très bien interprété, distrayant, touchant, souvent drôle (le duo Pan Seok et Wook et ses chamailleries !) et je le recommande, autant que la saison 1

TE AMO MISSING

Fiquei muito feliz quando vi que missing tinha mais uma temporada! Amei demais a primeira e ter mais um pouquinho deles foi ótimo 💗💗 Essa temporada não foi tão emocionante quanto a primeira, acho que nada superará o retorno da Yeona pra mim, mas não deixou de ter cenas muitos lindas. Muito querido da parte dos diretores de tratar a relação do pai da HyunJi com a aldeia que ela estava usando a amiguinha dela como mensageira :( Gostei também das tramas dessa temporada serem bem diferentes da primeira, pensei que seguiriam o mesmo modelo, engano meu! o contexto de tudo ficou diferente e continuou interessante. Meu único problema foi realmente o final ter um gancho (muito bom por sinal) pra terceira temporada e ela simplesmente não existir... era meio obvio que não teria tanto interesse do publico e a historia não iria pra frente, poderiam ter feito um final mais fechado como foi o primeiro. No mais, virou uma das minhas favoritas!
