This zombie girl arc was ridiculous for this show style.
Unfortunately, the zombie girl arc was the final straw for me. Not so much the subject matter, I just didn’t feel it was done well. Voice was so good, I just feel with Voice 2 it lacks the level of terror and mystery. The cast is great and the storylines have real potential, it’s just missing that special element for me.
I guess I’m swimming against the tide a little bit here. I found the final eipisode was a missed opportunity and so it became pointless for me (there were some great moments though). Perhaps, that was the point - life can be like that and you move on to other things. Overall, the acting - very good, the writing - patchy (brilliant in some parts, very good in others and then off the boil), filming was attentive. So: 8/10.
The one person I wanted some happiness for was Gunner Jang - heartbreaking, and then reveal she was his wife. Good on Eugene, Major Moore and Gunner Jang for taking it up to Mori (I hope he has a sticky end as well!) afterwards.
Episode 12 was really good, and so sad thought jo seung woo's character this episode would be stronger, was a…
I think it’s interesting re Mr Goo because during his ten years with the Chairman’s family it would seem he has only dealt with situations regarding traditional workplace practices and everyday people. In essence, by keeping the Chairman happy, this has allowed Mr Goo to sell his soul to the devil. He achieves things through using oppressive leadership and management practices. In otherwords, he is in reality, despite being very clever, talented and having a compassionate side, a very weak company president. But only Ms Kang knows how many hits Mr Goo has taken and obviously thinks he is worth sticking with.
Since taking on the restructuring of the hospital this has revealled a situation where Mr Goo is faced with not just one maverick, but many who won’t lay down or roll over. They are clever, and he is not used to this. Despite his early successes and his strategy to keep the outsourced departments, he is genuinely scared. Whether his next strategy regarding firing the Gang of Four is a means to save them will be interesting. So too with facing his fears and doing the right thing. I guess we will have to wait and see!
If you are struggling with Voice 2 re the first three episodes (like I was), stick with it. Episode 4 gets into gear and then episodes 5 and 6 are nothing short of compelling viewing!
So I tried to get into this, as I greatly admire the screenwriter + Jo Seung Wo (Secret Forest was the best thing…
I found it wasn’t until episode 7 that Life finally hit its straps. I nearly gave it away three times until then (episode 2 was brilliant, but the other episodes around it were extremely patchy). The acting is superb. I did question the level of writing early on because it seemed to lack a certain level of awareness regarding leadership, management and medical technology and practices, but those things that were missing now appear to be addressed (perhaps I was being too harsh in my thinking initially). Episode 11 looks like it will be a real game changer.
This drama is one of my favorite, right now. It truly pulls out all the emotions. The story is well paced. The…
To me each episode is like watching an extraordinary novel. This show is amazing in terms of how it can show breathtaking scenery one minute and then focus on the smallest of details the next. It’s exquisite in its portrayal of events, the emotions are very real and the acting, is as you said, superb. There isn’t a thing out of place.
This is one of those dramas you need to have a look at for yourself and then decide whether to watch it or not. I thought the first half of this drama was terrific. It left me with tears of sadness and then tears of joy. However, with the second half I felt they tried too hard and perhaps introduced elements that weren’t really necessary. Do Jin and Jae Yi’s relationship is very special and this is maintained throughout the whole series. Heo Joon Ho’s performance as the psychopath is right up there, we needed to see more of Reporter Park and I thought Do Jin’s mum was wonderful.
It almost has a The Long Kiss Goodnight (Geena Davis) vibe to it - some of Sang Mi’s martial arts skills and the flashbacks of defending herself hint at something other than the red herrings we have seen so far - but I could be totally wrong of course!
