This movie got more personal each time I watched it. The final scene is horrific deep inside. Dead leads is K-drama rare. If you are going to do this plot, I cannot imagine a way to get more out of Hee Jo. The cast is amazing, totally creditable. Directing/writing lets the actors make the movie. I have read some the comments about this movie. Just off subject. I am again moving my rating up a notch. So sad for an ending.
I am so pissed. At 1.27 in, this movie completely dies. Makes no sense, ruins the vibe - turn it off. Why? Dipsticks ruined a good movie. No wonder its rating sucks. For 1.27 mins - this movie has a serious I Spit on Your Grave (1978) feel. Trigger after trigger. Bullying, brutal violence. And at times, an empty - no emotions - nothing screen; perfect for that moment. No inspiring characters of virtue. No happy smiley side story. Just flat, matter of fact, horror story. It felt for a couple minutes the movie may have found a soft landing to get past who needed to die next. Taeko + Rumi fight really was set to flip to fade to black. So, there is where you should just turn the movie off and imagine your own ending. It will easily be better than what the movie gives. It took me from an 8 rating to a 6. I finished the stupid thing just to see if it could save itself. Naw.
Viki rates this 8.8 I am at an 8.5 It's just fun insanity. Kinda in the arc of Becoming Witch. Crazy, overdrive women, and goofy incompetent dudes. What could go wrong. Yep your right, everything. The writing is good and it shows in the cast. The cast jells with chemistry on every level. The desperate teens seal a complete story. The storyline is unique to me. So, over all - lots of fun, a little dark, and just a bit of sad.
I am on ep 15. This show is fast paced. Lots of intrigue. But for my pleasure, the intrigue is at face value and does not take 10 episodes to expose. All the of the cast is marvelous. Also at face value. What other dramas drag out into tedious blah blah blah - is not here. But be warned, there are no such things as secrets in this show. I love it. The secret last until the next scene. So far, drama good, mystery good, martial action good, humor good. I agree with JulesL (below). The leads nail their roles with chemistry. Well back to the binge. I am having lots of fun watching this.
Finished. A great frolic of fun, fast paced, and beautiful to look at. I really like that this story has no lag. It just roles straight through the drama. I never got confused, lost, nor frustrated keeping the whole story online. Wonderful ending. One question - Did the origin material have a feminist speech in it. It seemed too modern, sorta off target. But it was 1 min long and did not affect the outcome. It may be beneficial that I do not know the origin material. I took it at face value and really enjoyed it all.
I am on ep 4. The Dr just used acronym DINK. "DINK" is an acronym that stands for Double Income No Kids,…
Done. I agree with coffeecookie. Cast is lovely. The action is okay, yet crowded. This ain't Jeeja. I did not feel an arc. The story keeps to the plot. Somehow seems to be disjointed. Maybe? K-drama big on flash backs, kinda slap itself some. Cause of how the babies could be multiples, I though "oh this is a flashback." But is just another copy doing a scene. No problem just caught me off guard. Leaves a couple super dynamic, finally, hmmph, scenes short. Someone needed to die to cap the scene. It is worth watching.
I am on ep 4. The Dr just used acronym DINK. "DINK" is an acronym that stands for Double Income No Kids, referring to couples who are voluntarily childless. I have not heard that in some time. It was social media buzz phrase for a while, back maybe 4-5 years ago. My opinion just to this spot, this series has all the right parts. Decent main storyline, the discoveries are interesting, and relevant. Yeom Jung Ah is star at this point. Spot on. Is the baby ordering, the DNA, the reason the males all behave the same (nearly)? Or is it the film director? The MLs also have the same general appearance. I am a binger. But for some reason I haven't really vested in any of the players. Still, I will finish it is good.
Better than 6.5. It is comedy and satire in a way. Jaws mates with Ghost in the Darkness. You get the far far end of both of them. If you start with oh this is quirky; and realize the show does not take itself as a horror drama or anyway serious horror - you'll get the same reaction 'thesaura 73' got below. Even the comments generated are not serious but do show a shared impression - COMEDY, horror thriller. Note not many comments. 14 years ago it was funny. Not sure why it got hit so low with the rating. I am all in with a 7.5...
Jeeja is a guest role. Opening 4 minutes and another one for about 30 secs later. Big disappointment. The way languages are used is silly. English, Mandrin, Filipino, no particular reason for one here one there. That is distracting. Storyline is fine. The cast fit good. The 2 mls and Yang nailed their characters. I am seeing many comments about the action. Lots of action. The first chase and fight scenes are the best in the movie. The bald dude is the most interesting fight scenes. He kinda breaks up the repetitive fighting. At 1:23 the movie just goes off plot and turns into silly violence. There is a story. It ends and the rest of the movie is let's just fight. It is a 7/10 for me. Disappointment of Jeeja tagged as support is frustrating; I started this just to see Jeeja. The fighting is repetitive. Same no name, empty suit bad guys. Same desperate fight.
Wow. Okay good good stuff. I usually don't like end of season add-ons. Leila was a great add. Leila added a thick layer of discovery about Bo Na. The Leila flash backs built a lot of stress and emotions on Bo Na. The crime drama grew with each episode. This show was good all the way. It built up and up towards a strong ending. And delivered. Eps. 11-14 moved me up from 8 to 8.5. I am impressed with the deep drama of ep 14. Expected some, but it surprised me how I connected with the characters. And in K-drama fashion. the ending. This why old white dudes watch K-Drama.
Started this because of Don. Just a fan. I have seen 20+ of his movies. This is not a Don movie. He is just an actor in a one-off role. The theme of this show from opening scene to end is depression. Don projects an aura of horror and terror for most of the movie. The ml teen is one mode the entire movie. In my opinion a below mark performance. The leads act from being depressed. Acts of horror and terror are not isolated, multiple events. I think this movie is fair with a 6.5-7 rating. Only because it breaks from itself. It feels as if the last several minutes were shot because they had to finish the movie before super. An entire scenario added that's got little or nothing to contribute to the story. Completely off rail and the point I said, "oh now I know why it got a low rating". It's dark soul, depressing, mostly violent, with a few moments of teen love trying to squeeze in. If you're not into bullying, depressing, terror, and bloody movies, do not watch it. I watched, but I was soaking in the tub and just needed something to look at. If you are a Kim Hyeon Soo fan, good news she was spot on for her character. Nailed it. But like the rest of the characters, she was depressed, terrified, and for 5 minutes she was happy. So, if you have my passion for MDL content, give it a go. Sadly, I do not recommend this.
Arrrrg! Don't get out of the boat!! My rule - don't watch currently airing shows. I got out of the boat. This is a good show. Kong Hyo Jin, Jung Jun Won, and the rest of the cast are great. For 9 episodes this show roles on, depth in character building and storyline. Some mystery, good action, family fun, a nice bit of humor lite. All good. I thought oh, ep 10 was a step up. The story gets busier with the ins and outs. Who knows, who don't know, who almost knows. Then bang ep 11. Full on K-drama tension. Hyo Jin gets to be the great actor she is. Jun Won is the perfect fit for the emotions. Yea, getting some the emotional investment in my eyes. One of those reactions is full on revenge on the abusers. Don't mess with kids. In rl I ruined abusers lives, put them in jail, it is still a trigger for me. And just to prove my rule, DO NOT GET OUT OF THE BOAT!! Ep 12 hits. Full-on, heavy K-drama emotions. Sad empathy, nervous fear, a touch of "I hate you" for the fartknocker. Now I am stuck. The writer and the cast have me fully vested in Hyon Jin's character. They have done a great job of sticking me with all these emotions until I can see next episode. DON'T GET OUT OF THE BOAT! Ep 11-12 kicked me from 7.5 to 8.5.
Amazing. Writing is good. The story is not typical. Storyline is original. The story plot is mostly not predictable. Just when you think you know what's next, your wrong. Not in a weird way, but in "oh yea that could happen". Director let the actors go. Directed scenes not lines. Action is spot on. Martial combat was entirely credible. I just dropped Fiery Priest (Sep 2026) cause the director crushed the actors. Lee Ha Nee was directed to nothing in FP. Here she gets to act, and I dig her in many shows. Crushes it. The cast is great. Where there is supposed to be chemistry there is. This is a drama lite show, for all the right reasons. It does not take itself seriously. Comedy is the fore front. Smart comedy and some goofy comedy. the couple of spots where it is supposed to touch your heart strings, it does. I am on the 8.5 here. Not common for me. It is a refreshing, surprising couple hours of fun.
I absolutely cannot figure out why this show is popular. I have started this 3 times and not got past ep 4 before dropping it. Pose, pose, talk, talk, priest gets fiery. Rinse repeat. The cast is better than the writing. It lacks suspense. The drama is yelling. The cast is crippled by directing and poor writing. The only thing that catches is the comic relief. Where is the mystery? Anyway, my opinion. Dropped.
This is a funny movie. Great K-drama happy ending, in a weird way. Look at the genre above in descript. Now underline, bold, and capitalize - COMDEY. That's all you have to think about. Sure action happens, crime well sorta. COMEDY makes everything just more fun. Don't use four letter words like, logic or consistent. Great cast, directing, and writing. Recommend. 8/10 for me.
Good movie, almost better. Spy-v-Spy, hidden Bond Villain in the background making things complicated and confusing for the players. Good action, cast good, and I liked the directing. The double death scene was necessary to clean up one plot line. Kinda knew that had to happen. But then it became Spy-v-Spy +1+1. Last 15 mins is trying to put a sudden twist on the dead plot line and revive it. Then +1 plot line that is just a big empty hole at the end. This movie doesn't close any of the plot lines, just left 2 stories in the wind. So, Jaws 2. ?? I don't know. It is worth watching. I am not mad that it was a goofy ending. Closing out the main plot line could have moved my rating up to a 7.5, instead of 7. The other 1.30 hours of movie are definitely worth the watch.
Ep. 1 is one of the worse ep of anything I have seen. It makes no sense. No character development, no story line, random dialog. Out of place scenes. I get the idea. But this don't get there. It's frustrating. I only turned this on to watch Park Ji Yeon. Dropped.
I gave it an easy 8. The gore is not meant to be serious. It's just the way it should be. Quirky fun would be my words for it. Have to go back to Red -vs-White Snow zombie to appreciate the fun zombies can be. Cast is great. A few dang it moments, some "oh no not him" moments, and plenty of drama. I recommend giving it a spin, mind you the zombies do die bloody horrible deaths.
