Not a very clear ending - or a satisfactory one, for that matter. But nice build-up, the suspense and the elements of horror were perfect. I have to admit, it had me hooked from the start, I was glued to my screen trying to figure out who did it. Yes, it didn't have the most brilliant acting in the world, but hear me out, the bad acting actually added to the characters of these spooked out high school girls, it made them seem more authentic if you will.
Pro-tip: if you want to look back on this production with no regrets and still have it keep its level of dark mystery and seriousness, do not watch the extra special episode at the end. It will do you absolutely no good.
i didnt like the ending at all & it wasnt because ayumi didn’t choose kaga but bc it hurt to see him cry like…
I don't think he cried because he felt heartbroken but at the realization that a part of him had taken a liking to Umine san all along - all the times he made fun of her, pinched her chubby cheeks, pulled her bangs aside with the barrette he gave her, stood up for her for getting bullied for her looks etc.
Nice review! Well put. My sister kept telling me to watch this after we watched Squid Game together. She'd been telling me that this one was so much better. Now, I'm no fan of the survival game theme but for her sake watched both SG and this one - had been putting off watching this one for a good while but finally decided to bite the bullet and marathon it in one go. It's a decent watch, I won't lie, however, for the same reasons as you listed above I couldn't quite immense myself in the characters. I don't quite understand how (and why) the two shows so often get compared to each other. They are two completely different dramas for obvious reasons. Must say though, I personally think SG had more shock value so if that's anyone's thing, you should definetely give it a go.
This is crap. First few eps were fun, then it went downhill, because the genres were switched. Initially it was…
Don't know how you were able to stomach whole episodes, I'm dropping this at 8 minutes in. Came here to beg others for a decent drama, I'm hungry... even crumbs would do T^T
This drama has a Turkish adaptation as well, aired back in 2013 and broke rating records. It's crazy how much the world as a whole just can't get enough of juicy revenge dramas like these :D definitely adding to my list!
I feel like watching a lakorn when watching this drama, too many salty bitches out to get the female lead, too many over the top cliches and randomly sprinkled slapstick humor. But just like I'd do with a lakorn, I have no problem filtering through it all, I am watching this for the love of the ship and I am loving every second of it - Lee Ha Nee x Lee Seung Yoon, what a pairing!
Ffs it's so hard not to fall in love with this woman, whenever I see her I'm just taken - and I'm not saying this because of how obviously gorgeous she is. girl's got charisma and a whole damn lot of screen presence - something a lot of female actors lack.
Read a review above saying they could have done this without all the explicit parts and that made me wonder, could there possibly be a censored version out there? I honestly think nothing much would be lost. Listen, I love this movie in its entirety but I wanna be able to recommend this to friends and fams without them lifting an eyebrow.
If the real life S. Korean cops are as incompetent and stupid as they depicted on this series then S. Korea is…
Yeah, some of the things you hear in the news about what the Korean police has to deal with on a daily basis do make you take sympathy on them though. Like the country's got a serious drinking problem, imagine having to deal with mundane things like breaking up a drunk fight or accomodating someone who passed out at the curb from drinking all night with his boss on a weekday, when instead you could be out there fighting crime which you were..you know, educated to. The Korean police is reduced to nothing but the babysitter of the nation.
the trouble with some of the readers here is they dnt know how to respect the opinion of others, i posted my feedback…
As seems to be the case with any other site on the world wide web. The notion that everyone can and will express whatever is on their mind seems to elude most people. If you say you like something, I guarantee you that someone else will say they dislike it and vice versa. If you do not agree with an opinion, simply scroll past it. Don't get negative about it.

Exaggeration is literally the core element of dystopian fiction. Look it up some time.
