Koreans even do Zombie better than Hollywood, and I’m not particularly a Zombie fan. Of course, Koreans turned it into something more: a morality tale of good and evil, of choices in the midst of terror, and it is emotionally draining. But it’s also a horror movie with a heart, a couple of bad guys of course, but far more heroes, several of them you admire and grow to love. Strongly recommended.
Just brilliant; the perfect film: writing, direction, and acting are all superb. I sat mesmerized by the layering of narrative, peeling back each until we get to the outcome. I'm thrilled for "Parasite" and all its awards, but there are dozens of great Korean films as good as "Parasite." This is one of them. Strongly recommended.
Probably more graphic than I usually care for, but not a deal breaker. Because there is definitely a beautiful love story, and the ending is quite moving.
This one misses the mark. Leads are good actors, but she is always the same in every performance: an adorable gamin, but no depth. He is a good actor, but for me has no charisma. Writing really is a repetitive plot and quickly boring. Everyone worked hard but in a wheel-spinning drama.
Though the series does improve in the final episodes, I agree with critics who point out it is NOT "a fun romantic romp," much less "a romantic comedy." Instead, IMO, it is a messy melodrama loaded with plot flaws and resultant confusion that is fatal to the narrative; then it finally limps to a truncated end. The justified criticism from a wide range of KDrama lovers is why the makers cut and and dumped the series. Like most here, I love both main leads: but they deserved so much better from the writer and director, and they need to make better choices, too. Jung Hae-In, high on my favorites list, is one of the most beloved and charming actors in the world: I would love to see again the talent he blessed us with in “While You Were Sleeping” and “Something in the Rain.”
If you can handle the absurd plot holes throughout, never knowing what happens to two main characters, a BS ending, and instead just enjoy the excellent cinematography and performances (the actors are all good), it's okay — but only just.
A masterpiece, and not just the brilliant acting but also the writing, direction, OST, sound effects, camera work—all of it in perfect sync, perfect timing as each scene weaves its tragi-comic spell. The satire on these parents is spot on and very satisfying, but the effects of such obsessive, often twisted, behavior are wrenching for their kids. The series is relentless from the beginning in exposing the narcissism and danger of parental intrusion in their children’s lives for their own self-glory.
Terrific leads, wonderful cast, direction, and OST, and it broke my heart from beginning to end. The leads shine so beautifully, but I could never watch it again because of the grief I felt over and over—I knew they were going out together. That graceful Pieta at the end said everything about these two best friends who loved one another and suffered so much. I love the historical dramas, and though I’m devastated (let’s not forget the other love stories too, and the bracelet, and his smile at her at the end), I’m glad I saw My Country, one of the very best.

The use of the clearly dying Afghan dog in a movie was incomprehensible.
