Abyss — When Second Chances Come With Complications
📝 Review (WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Emotional Damage)
This one hooked me right out of the gate. I mean, Seo In Guk and Jung So Min dropping in as Grim Reapers? Yes hello, I’m paying attention. Then we get Ahn Se Ha as the original Cha Min and I’m thinking, “Okay, vibe established, quirky cuteness, let’s go.”
And then he dies. Just—boom. Done. Mood whiplash. I was yelling at my screen like, “Excuse me?? I was getting attached??”
Cue the Abyss marble doing its cosmic makeover magic, and suddenly Ahn Hyo Seop strolls in like the universe finally did him a solid. I literally sat there like, “HELLO NURSE. Okay, show, I forgive you.”
From there, it becomes this delightfully weird ride — murder mystery, resurrection logic that absolutely does not stand up to scientific scrutiny (nor should it), comedic timing that hits way more than it misses, and chemistry that carries the whole dang story.
The romance is sweet without being syrupy, the emotional beats land, and the pacing keeps everything moving so you never get stuck in filler-land. It wasn’t what I expected going in, but honestly? I’m extremely glad I watched it. It hits that perfect blend of fun, weird, heartfelt, and “okay now I need answers.”
This one definitely earned a spot on my rewatch list. Sometimes the vibes are enough. Sometimes the vibes are everything.
đź’ Final Mood
“Witched, giggled, swooned, and mildly obsessed — the Abyss got me good.”
