IMMA SUCKER FOR DARK ROMANCE

absolutely amazing drama highly recommend especially if you’re a sucker for dark romance!!!

Story the cast everything was really amazing to watch. It was the most dark suspenseful balanced K drama that I’ve watched in a while. I love the plot and the story development with the romance. It was just the perfect combination everything I love in 1K drama.
One thing I do have to point out that I was disappointed about was the end. We didn’t get any closure to the specific stories with the main characters when they were little.
we only got the flashbacks, and I understood that they were wounded and mentally unwell, but we never got the full story which kind of made me upset

other than that, I think the acting was incredible. I watched it all in one sitting, and there was never a boring scene.

I do love how The main characters vibes both changed at the last episode. They realize that they both love each other, and they realize that they can kill for each other and that really close to their relationship and is very satisfying way, but I do feel that if they were going to love each other that much at the end then I feel like there was some missing development throughout the whole show, since it was only eight episodes, it felt a little rushed, and I wish there was more added scenes solely for their romance and stories

other than that every factor of the show was really great I really enjoyed it. I am a sucker for dark romance and this is exactly the drama that got me out of my slump. Can’t believe I’m only finding the drama now in 2024.

i’ve seen the actor in lovely runner, and the vibe is completely different. I think he’s a brilliant actor and I really liked the dark side of acting. It was very convincing, very satisfying.

overall very good drama highly recommend if you’re a fan of darker mood dramas like me and Thriller/ action, of course.

Love at first choke, dark, sweet and bloody oh so bloody...

This is a drama that teaches you that there really isn't anything more romantic than the words " I will shoot you if I must" Or something like that a dark chocolate teenage romance with gazes and fluff surrounded by death, blood and suicidal thoughts all woven together with psychopaths and amnesia and a love of self harm.

So really what is not to love?
Well the pacing was kind of meeh, some of the side characters where just a little bit to bullyish in a bad way and slightly over the top. But the leads did a really good job with these roles coming off as both sweet and bad ass at the same time.

The grown ups are pretty decent at being complete psychopaths or kind and not much in-between... There are some really good lines here and there but also a side of cringe and some type of love will save you or make you die for someone else type of eal but nothing in-between. Sometimes this is good others not so much.

All in all a decent short binge

You still like me after what u seen?

It was a fun watch overall. While it’s not a super serious show, it delivers strong performances from most of the cast. The dark humor works well, and the action scenes are surprisingly solid. The chemistry between the leads really stands out, and the story unfolds in a compelling way.

The love story is quite interesting the way it develops.

The editing is just not doing it for me.

Ehhh... I like the concept of this drama, however, something about it is just not clicking for me. The world the Director is trying to create on screen is not consistent at all. I can understand what they're trying to do, however, some scenes can feel very awkward, and leave me either confused or cringed. If you go to episode 4 and look at 16:24, I understand the tone they're trying to give off, like "2 people on the verge of insanity, laughing at the mess their life is" however, I don't feel it emotionally. It's not subtle at all. And it kind of feels like a filler, something to drag out the time. Also, the music is just- idk, It leads me to a different emotion that I feel doesn't fit the scene. But out of all the things I critiqued it all leads to one department; editing. Long story short, this drama could've stayed in post-production a little longer.

Wasn't nearly long enough!

The one time that I wish a drama had 1 hour long episode run-time would be with this drama. It's such a shame that each episode was 20-30 minutes each. This drama is so good because I am, personally, a sucker for unconventional romances. When two messed up people find solace in each other, I eat that up REAL GOOD. This drama does that underrepresented trope so well and it has to be the best example that I've watched so far. I'll definitely be back to rewatch this several times in the upcoming future.

Un survival à la fois délirant et sanglant...

Survivre face à une organisation criminelle qui n'a qu'un seul but : vous faire taire. Ce sont les grandes lignes d'Alice the Final Weapon, et elles seront suffisantes pour tenir le rythme jusqu'au bout.

Il en ressort de l’humour noir avec une bonne dose d’action et son lot de scènes de combat excellentes. Le sérieux de la situation se confronte à l’absurdité globale. En réalité, l'histoire jongle entre plusieurs styles sans jamais perdre son équilibre.

Les personnages partagent un traumatisme différent, mais c’est ce qui va les rapprocher au fil de l’intrigue. Parfois, ils décident de se raconter des histoires se mettant en scène et laissant leurs doux fantasmes s’exprimer. Ce n’est pas une romance d’adolescents habituelle, ni même une tentative de survie face à une horde de zombies.

Alice, the Final Weapon pourra en dérouter plus d’eux avec son introduction. Pourtant, sous sa couche décalée aux situations incrédules et gores se cache une sacrée dose d’action complètement déchaînée.

Drama volutamente inusuale tra violenza e psicologia disturbata. Non per un pubblico su larga scala.

Inaspettato e singolare, oscuro, violento, psicologicamente malsano, sicuramente disturbato. La trama è piuttosto illogica, i passaggi spesso esasperati, non c'è una linearità, non ha senso o, almeno, non come si intende normalmente quando si descrive una serie.
Riesce a spiazzare? Sì. E' contorto? Abbastanza. E' una visione spensierata? Assolutamente no.
C'è un tema, un'idea alla base di questo drama, che è stata volutamente sviluppata e portata in scena in una maniera davvero unica e - immagino per i più - non particolarmente apprezzabile.
Un drama che non posso dire abbia fallito nel suo intento, ma che si sia posto un intento davvero sopra le righe, un po' al limite. Qui siamo oltre il concetto dell'essere originale, è un prodotto criptico e per pochi, sicuramente non lo stereotipo del drama da intrattenimento.
La valutazione negativa è prettamente legata alla percezione personale, non alla qualità o riuscita della serie: non mi è piaciuto, non è quello che stavo cercando, non è un genere che fa per me. Ma penso che possa essere apprezzato da altri palati.

Sözlerin Değil Eylemlerin Önemi Vardır

Küçük ama değerli duyguları ayrıntılı olarak kadın başrol bana aktaramasa da, ben bu durumu beklentilerimin yüksek olmasına bağlıyorum. Her zaman film/dizi izlerken nasıl daha iyi olurduyu düşündüğüm için bu durumu normal karşılıyorum. İzleyiciye bazen hayatta istemediğimiz, yapmayacağımıza dair büyük yeminler ettiğimiz şeylerin, ''Büyük konuşma başına gelir.'' tarzında hatırlatmalar yapılması hoşuma gitti açıkçası. İntikamların da fedakarlıklar gerektirdiği ve insanlarla olan sevgi bağımızın da bir sıralaması olacağını, beni mi kurtarırsın onu mu şeklinde bunaltan soruların aslında tek bir cevabı olduğunu da göstermiş oldu.

En önemlisi karakter analizine uygun bir romantizm olması beni çok memnun etti. Aslında alışılmışın dışında çok güçlü bir romantizm var fakat izleyici karakterleri anlayamadığı sürece bu romantizm onlara geçmiyor. Hayalperest bir insansanız bu diziyi hayal gücünüzle çok ayrı bir sınıfa koyabilirsiniz. Yönlendirilmeye açık bir senaryo, nasıl isterseniz aklınızda öyle bitirebilirsiniz. Sonda sizi boşlukta bırakıyor, bir şeyler eksik diyorsunuz fakat dediğim gibi siz şekillendirin.

Só vi pelo GeonHee

É algo. Uma história interessante que poderia ter sido melhor contada, gosto de produções curtas pois assim consigo assistir até o final sem enjoar, mas nesse caso sinto que por tratar de um tema muito profundo e obscuro, apenas 8 episódios de 30min cada não foi a melhor escolha... Pelo menos não ficou pontas soltas e até que tudo foi explicado. Não é algo que eu recomendaria para alguém por não ser muito entretivo. Porém, preciso ressaltar as atuações dos atores, principalmente a do Geonhee que foi excelente! Um verdadeiro maluco!
