An honest review from someone who is neither a K-pop nor K-drama fan.
I find it funny how low the ratings are here. It makes me wonder—did we watch different versions of Newtopia, or did some people who rated it not actually watch it? 🤔 I saw the trailer on Prime Video through TikTok, so I added it to my watchlist. The first two episodes were both good—super funny! As for the actors' performances, I must say they are really talented, especially the lead actors, Jisoo and Jeongmin.
This isn’t the first zombie comedy I’ve watched. I’ve seen a Hollywood one before, but if I compare that to Newtopia, Newtopia is and better and funnier (even though only two episodes have been released so far).
I know we all have different opinions and ways of critiquing what we watch, but I hope that those who have rated or are planning to rate this series (especially K-pop fans) will do so based on its actual performance—particularly Jisoo’s. Rate her as a viewer, not as a basher of her group. Evaluate her as Actress Jisoo, not as a K-pop idol.
Most of the negative comments here seem to come from profiles using K-pop idols' photos, meaning they are likely K-pop fans. Not to generalize, but many K-pop fans are known to be bashers of her group. Set that aside first. Watch the series properly, then rate and leave a comment based on your genuine opinion. Don’t let your envy dictate your rating.
For me, this is a great series. This is the kind of show people need right now—one that brings laughter because the world is already a mess.
