It's super disappointing bc this show had so much potential and pulled in so many fans in the first half. This would've been a 9, maybe a 10 if the writing wasn't so ASS.
Pros: - I truly felt the chemistry between the ML and FL. - Was very invested in the second leads' relationship - OST and music kinda ate - definitely can see myself putting some songs in my Spotify
Cons: - Some characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth. I wish we knew more about Seon-U, a bit more about Ji-Hyeok's trauma, etc. - Poorly executed tropes. Of course when you're watching a K-drama, having a trope or two appear is expected, but at least make it somewhat pivotal to the story. It felt like the writers were spamming 5+ different tropes just to fill up time. - Poorly executed subplots. I can care less about Ji Hyeok's sister and Tae Young's scheme lmao it felt like just petty nepo baby drama. Maybe I would've cared about it more if we knew more about them, but I thought they were unnecessary.
I didn't feel like watching this was a waste of time as I did enjoy it overall, but I agree with the majority that the show did go downhill after the second half. At least the ending was a happy one and the credits were super cute :(
I can't help but give kudos to Shin Ye-eun as she always delivers and exceeds my expectations. From The Glory to Jeongnyeon, she's someone to keep an eye on if you haven't already
My love language is acts of service and words of affirmation, so the chemistry and relationship between Hyunwoo and Hae In was so beautiful to witness without being overly cheesy in my opinion. It's the little things (like when Hyunwoo dried Hae In's hair and gave his coat to her) for me 🥺 . I have a cynical outlook when it comes to finding love, but this made me feel warm inside and gives you a sense of hope (lol).
nah cause if I went through all that just to found out my uncle was alive all along I would've been livid 😠mans better have a good explanation for faking his death in season 2 (if there even is one)
Anyone who has read the webtoon, would you guys recommend reading it to understand the plot better? It might be bc of the long gap between season 1 and 2 so my memory sucks but I feel like this season had so many holes and explained so little...wondering if I should read the webtoon in order to get a better understanding :/
this show has some flaws that made me sped up/skip some scenes but I love how wholesome it ended, "having a place to return to is an incredible relief". The ending was perfectly wrapped like a bow on a present.
I think one of my favorite side stories is Hae Dal and Ha Yul's mother-daughter relationship. There were many heartfelt moments as well as heart-breaking ones that I couldn't help but cry. They had wonderful chemistry and I'm amazed at the kiddo's acting. I hope both go far in their careers :')
This season's cast is stacked! Always impressed by Kang Ki Young's acting and glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. Kim Hieora is a master at playing unhinged roles, and I love how Insoo is playing a himbo 😠definitely interested in seeing how his character develops throughout this season
I've never been so angry at myself for wasting my time watching this show cause wtf did I just watched.
-first off, where was the other captain and why wasn't he with them? Why did they leave base on their own? -the reasoning for breaking the walkie talkie and rigging the vote so they can stay makes absolutely no sense. If the CSAT is cancelled and you're self aware enough to know that the government is using you, it makes no sense to continue the mission. To justify the reason for staying bc they wanted to stick together and not see anyone else die is basically shooting yourself in the foot. If people want to leave, that's not my problem. -Absolutely couldn't stand Young Soo, he was more annoying than Soon Yi LOL I got used to her whining. No sane/rational person on survival mode would prioritize an entrance exam over surviving?? The writers were probably using his character to comment on the societal pressure on getting into college and wanted to gain pity points, but I did not feel an ounce of sadness for him at all. If I had to hear him whine about the CSAT and getting extra points one more time then I would gladly feed him to the aliens <3 having him kill off the majority of the class was a waste cause I genuinely wanted to see all of them make it out alive. He should've been killed off first. -I feel bad for the people who worked on the CGI/makeup/and sound effects for this shitty ass show cause they were actually really good??? I've never seen so much detail go into gore. It's a shame cause the storyline was intriguing but the execution was terrible. I'm tired of watching these kind of survival/sci-fi show with high schoolers cause how can they think rationally when their frontal lobes have not even been developed yet akjshdashdjl.
At the end of the day people have the right to have their own opinion, but after reading the positive reviews people gave for this show and the overall rating for this show...bombastic side eye.
The 'split personality/DID' felt so out of pocket towards the end it kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Although I still enjoyed it I felt like this whole show was improvised lmao
Glad I wasn't the only one who had a hard time enjoying this drama. I know the supernatural elements like the monsters are supposed to be physical proof that God is real and whatnot but in some ways I found it quite comical to the point where I can't take it seriously lmao??? It's an interesting concept but poorly executed. I feel like if the show started out by presenting itself as a dystopian society that was already ruled by The New Truth then it would've been an interesting watch. the first 3 episodes were just showcasing how the cult came to be when it literally could've been summarized in 5 minutes, idk \_(ツ)_/¯
the reviews for this drama are ruthless lmao, I started watching expecting that it will be predictable, cliche, and kinda cringe so I wasn't disappointed in the end. I love a good cringey rom com once in awhile and I enjoyed it a lot, it definitely kept me entertained and I'm gonna miss this show :c
Dang I really wanted to like this because of Park Bogum but story is really bland idk how to explain it. I appreciate a simple, slice of life drama but something about the story isn't enticing, not to mention the annoying dad and family dynamic are unbearable to watch.
This show has destroyed me emotionally in the best way possible. I couldn't help but cry a river when Moon Young turned back one last time at the cemetery and looked back on her one and only memory with her dad where he read her a story. She had a complicated relationship with him and held so much hatred for her dad, but continued to treasure that memory of him. Even though she claims she's not sad you can tell how sad she was with her eyes. It was only a small scene, but had a powerful meaning behind it. This show is truly amazing, I don't know what to do with my life after this show ends :'((
on episode 6, and as much as I still prefer season 1's cast and story, this season's storyline is much more disturbing and horrendous (in a good way tho). Something about seeing the creation of religious cults is honestly disturbing and scary. It is clear that the writers clearly know what they are doing. I hope it's worth the watch
I dropped after the first few episodes. I've felt l witnessed 10 + people die and I'm only on episode 5??? The story is also really confusing and it just seems like the writers are making the story up and adding new rules on how the abyss is used as they go. Great choice in actors and chemistry, but the story feels improvised. This show had so much potential but for a detective/thriller, quite disappointing. I don't know how people can watch all 16 episodes of this ://
(Im only on episode 2 and starting ep 3 so sorry if im wrong)
Am I the only one who thinks it's really obvious as to finding the culprit? If they really wanna know who it is they could've just used the blood from the window that the culprit smashed to escape and run a DNA scan and stop him once and for all lolol
I guess we'll have to let it slide since it drags out the story and builds suspense in anticipation for future episodes cause it's more fun and entertaining that way lol #kdramalogic
I thought the drama was ok overall, there wasn't anything special and I could care less about the love story. The only thing that really messed with my emotions was the episode when yeon soo and his ex met and chan hee knew that his mother wouldn't be coming back :-((( I saw more chemistry from yeon soo x min joo than I did with the others
pretty decent drama, I haven't laughed at a rom com in awhile. But the 'makjang' moments of the story changed the atmosphere so it was pretty unsettling to watch from time to time. Kinda disappointed with the ending tho ://, but it was a heartwarming story that made me experience many mood swings haha
Pros:
- I truly felt the chemistry between the ML and FL.
- Was very invested in the second leads' relationship
- OST and music kinda ate - definitely can see myself putting some songs in my Spotify
Cons:
- Some characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth. I wish we knew more about Seon-U, a bit more about Ji-Hyeok's trauma, etc.
- Poorly executed tropes. Of course when you're watching a K-drama, having a trope or two appear is expected, but at least make it somewhat pivotal to the story. It felt like the writers were spamming 5+ different tropes just to fill up time.
- Poorly executed subplots. I can care less about Ji Hyeok's sister and Tae Young's scheme lmao it felt like just petty nepo baby drama. Maybe I would've cared about it more if we knew more about them, but I thought they were unnecessary.

Sorry for the rant. Thank you for reading,
