Congrats to Noh Hee Kyung and Our Blues for winning the best screenplay at the Asian academy creative awards, hoping there are more to come for this gem <3

I totally get it lol, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat so I'm glad that it doesn't seem scary to the point of making me feel uncomfortable, but at the same time I can't help but think it lacks something that would make it stand out

He probably wanted to reach a broader audience and I get it because even looking at the comments on Naver it seems like a lot of people were really disturbed by it and would have preferred a Korean director because this drama feels too much like a j-horror to them.

Yep, I guess, like you said, I expected something more for the psychological side, especially considering that the MC finds himself in some really freaky situations. To be honest I expected something more even in terms of gore, for example I really liked that one weird dreamy sequence at the beginning of the first episode where we see the arm moving on its own to attack the guy: was it over the top? Absolutely! But it was the kind of over the top that fits a drama like this.

As for Hometown I wanted to watch it, but I need to gather the courage first because that one seems really, really creepy

Watched half of it for now. I'm liking, but Idk, I expected something crazier given who is the director and the premise. I mean, I know kdramas are usually not heavy on horror, but also Strangers from Hell and Bargain exist and they are more disturbing and crazier imo. I love the supernatural part of this drama, but the police/crime/investigation feels a little mid. The first episode is my favorite one so far, but I'm hoping the second half has more surprises. I would still recommend it for those who are into thrillers because it seems well done.

They have superpowers

I'm currently watching the first episode and yes, I totally agree that it's too low, like just looking at the quality of the production and directing this should have at least an 8.5 imo, but to be honest I'm not surprised: this kind of darker, unformulaic dramas end up having low ratings more often than not, I've seen some go even lower than 8 unfortunately (hope it doesn't happen to this one too). My advice is to stop paying attention to the ratings because they're not always accurate.

Yes, but there were only three voters

I mean, it's kinda like going to the comment section of a romcom just to criticize it for having too much romance in it

I guess you could say he only has eye for the killer

Damn, an horror musical would be cool as well 😂

First impressions?

New trailer is out and it looks really good (hoping we get subs)

I'm also a big fan of The Guest and I have so many hopes for both Connect and Island, they better not disappoint ahah

They don't have much in common though, I think Island will be The Guest 2.0 with a bigger budget

What's wrong with this one?

If the links posted don't work for you, you can search for Yeolmaesubs on Google or find the raw video and the subs on subscene (download the ones with good ratings of course)

Not yet, let's hope it get picked up by kocowa or viki like some other watcha originals

I mean, I don't like it when people praise or hate on a drama without actually saying anything about the drama, but I just scroll past them since it's a free space. If it was just one comment I would have done what you said of course, but since there were dozens of similar comments, all complaining about Netflix rather than the drama itself, I figured that posting my own comment on an issue I care about was quicker, and plenty of people agreed with me so I don't see where's the problem, it's been more than a week anyway. And also, if I had commented under one of the comments I've disagreed with I would have literally taken the same amount of space on the comment section, nothing would have changed. Finally, I can't see how my comment is supposed to be a lecture since I didn't tell anyone how they should behave lol

Watching this drama won't change anything about how I view Netflix and ott productions in general. It can even be the worst drama of the year for all I care (and I honestly doubt it is because the bar was already set too low), but that won't change the fact that people are overreacting when they say that Netflix is going to ruin kdramas just for the sole fact of including nudity, violence and blood that aren't new concepts for South Korea.
