Did I just watch a whole show of just an ugly as hell old dude trying to f*ck a young virgin, and the half-as*ed attempts of some townies trying to save said girl?
I get that the show is titled Save Me, and the cast all acted well, but what the hell is with this story? This could've EASILY fit into 4-5 episodes MAX.
For context, they spent the first 8 episodes just on Taec Yeon trying to decide between whether he gave a shit for the random pretty girl or not! 8 EPISODES! And even when he did, my man did every single thing wrong almost by a textbook, flaunted his evidence to the baddies, acted shocked when they retaliated, and REPEAT.
Sang Mi's idiot dad who stopped giving a shit when he received a new house for free (because he's born yesterday, apparently???) That one spineless policeman who maybe had a sudden change of heart after wrongfully imprisoning a student? The practically non-existent two friends who only existed to be there for the torture scenes were needless tbh, and the fact that Taec's father was this stereotypical monster who literally tried to kill his wife because of an argument?
What was wrong in the water supply in this town?
The media and the police and the politicians are all controlled by this one rapist freak which just didn't make sense to me.
Also, everyone did their part in saving her, but Jeon Yeo Been was the real catalyst behind the ending, and also the real heroes were all ignored and sidelined imo.
Dong Chul, the guy who wordlessly stood by Sang Mi throughout DOESN'T EVEN GET A THANKS AT THE END? I am DISGUSTED AT THIS TREATMENT OF WOO DO HWAN. My man practically turned into a secret agent to save her asap, and that other fighter guy who was always chilling in Hawaiian shirts was also super cool and useful.
Overall, the show was just weird, and had a very unsatisfying ending to boot. Not a fan.

I am legit MAD at this show and this ending. What even is this show, seriously? I usually never leave a review on a show that I dislike, but I definitely have to talk about this show in the reply below.

It's literally one of the cutest romantic shows ever, that happens to be a BL!
If anyone has any recommendations like this, cute fluffy Korean BLs, please let me know! Thanks!!!

ah I see, I would've thought it'd be more like DongWon or something, those are usually the monikers I've seen for ships lol

yesss Ao3 is my preferred choice for stellar fanfiction, what's jwds btw?

IKR! She changes her whole appearance/attitude/personality/persona for each role SO WELL, like a chameleon.

I'm only on episode 8 at the moment but I gotta say, my man Woo Do Hwan is the REAL mvp of the show, no doubt.

AAAHH thanks for calling me a pro chingu-ya (that makes me feel so good you have no clue T_T ) and OMG if you want to see DILFs I have a list let me message you it :)

DILF

Agree completely! Amazing character development arcs for many characters in this show, and specially the chemistry between the leads was fantastic and made me wish the show was 20 episodes long!

Thanksss

IKRR T_T I am in love with Yeo Jin Goo's FACE too like DAMN he's like a sculpture, so perfect, just like a Prince, and pairing him with DILF Shin Hya Kyun was a great decision.

Came back here to feel the love again, and I really appreciate the positive comments because that means they saw the show for what it was, but some of the comments are so weird lol, this show was STELLAR.

Just to reiterate, if you love a chill dark crack comedy, with SIZZLING chemistry between the main leads, a smart and logical and sexy male lead, an understanding and mature and endlessly charming and sexy female lead, villains full of charisma and brutality, side characters worth their salt (although annoying at times), and a whole lot of stunning cinematography and music, you'll LOVE this show!

mark this a spoiler please! Thanks.

does this have a happy ending? Please say yes or no and kindly mark it as a spoiler, thanks!

This man UNDERSTANDS the assignment each and every single time.

She was amazing in Beyond Evil, just wish the character had more strength.

Does this drama have a happy ending? Just a yes or no would do, and please mark it as a spoiler, thanks!

yes but basically he was inherently removed from the suspects list because he's the poor weak stuttering shy father who was intensely worried for his daughter so of course he couldn't be the killer. But I did think that he was the last one too, but maybe he was claiming that he didn't actually see her, he just heard her go about her business and then assumed that she slept?

WOW where do I even start with this masterpiece of a show? It isn't even a show, it's an EXPERIENCE, it's goddamn cinematic poetry, it's an absolute DELIGHT in every way, and I'm going to try my best to describe exactly why. The acting, the story, the build-up, the chemistry, the MUSIC, the cinematography, everything was AMAZING.

But the main reason was the SIZZLING and intense and VISCERAL chemistry of the two main leads.
Lee Dong Shik and Han Ju Won, two names I'm likely to never forget as I desperately search for fanfiction and You Tube edits of this pair, because the reality is, I can't let this duo go just yet.

They were always colluding behind everyone's back while pretending that they hate each other, making FERVENT declarations to each other when they're alone, that NEVER ENDING eye contact, HJW willingly touching LDS whenever he gets the chance and even seeking out to be close to LDS physically and emotionally, being truthful only in front of each other, seeing each other at their weakest points, a ready-to-die-for-you attitude, two sides of the same coin, promising each other to be safe, ready to sacrifice their life to right a wrong in the other person's life, a strong sense of trust, pride, belonging and understanding...and where do I even BEGIN with that last 10 minutes T-T

SO MANY TIMES throughout the show, I replayed their 'moments' and observed each and every single expression, every single detail of their interactions, simply because I wanted to keep them in my memory because of how much satisfaction it gave me.

SATISFYING is the best way to put it, because after every revelation, after every reveal, every breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL and haunting soundtrack behind each new discovery, I was completely taken with this couple and their flow of the story, and even though it's supposed to be a slow burn classic thriller, it kept me on the edge of my seat, but I still saw and absorbed each and every single character's tale. The two leads have such an intense push-pull development and their characters compliment each other TOO well.

Despite of the lead couple's stellar chemistry and connection, it is truly remarkable how the other characters also manage to carve out their space in the audience's mind, each character displayed a uniqueness which makes them all memorable in my eyes, and the emotional and psychological trauma was portrayed BRILLIANTLY by each and every single one of them. The baddies were all a delight to watch as well, although the initial 'killer' gave me creeps like never before.

TLDR; WATCH THIS SHOW ASAP AND THEN THANK ME. Wish I could rate it 100/10.
