I’ll start with the first episodes. The first episode, which introduced us to the plot, wasn’t bad, but for a drama like this, I expected a more dynamic start. The second episode was a disappointment — after the calm first one, we’re suddenly thrown into zombie chaos with a bunch of dumb character decisions. Because of this, I dropped the drama. In my opinion, the creators hit us with this explosive wave too abruptly, and I think many people gave up on it because of that.

But thoughts about Newtopia didn’t let me go, so I decided to come back. Starting from the third episode, I began to enjoy it and got hooked. Between dropping it and returning, I also did some personal work on how I perceive this genre. I think people should broaden their horizons a bit and step away from the standard themes they’re used to.

After the third episode, this drama became my favorite ongoing(!). The mix of dynamics, comedy, tension, overall chaos, and drama was the best here. Even though the drama is short, the characters became special to me, even those who got little screen time — they still managed to leave an impression on me((

I’m not a fan of any of the actors, but I became one for some of them after this drama. Their acting was incredible!! Ji Soo especially stood out to me — I listened to her songs for days after this.

This drama still has more to show, so I’m waiting for the next season 👊
