As a teenager I gave this amateurish 'random blood and gore in some forest' movie a 8/10. I'd still give a 7.5 some fifteen years later.
The longer Ultimate cut (2h10m with credits) is very much recommended, and for me the only thing missing compared to earlier versions is the arrival of three additional killers by car. The new scene that replaces it doesn't explain where they randomly appear from.
"Ultimate Versus" is an about ten minutes longer Director's Cut featuring among other things a changed intro and new scenes that were shot after the movie's release.
This had been recommended to us but we dropped it, thought we were the only ones who did not like it-lol.
IMO, if you enjoy at least one episode by maybe episode 3 or 4, you can definitely watch it to the end. The first two are just extra-uneventful. Dropping it early can of course save you the time and sanity to watch between 2 and 4 other dramas instead.
Even on the 'illegal' streaming sites, Ep. 18, 19 and 20 have censored Netflix video (with I guess uncensored…
Kissasian has the exact same censored video as the other streaming pages. Check episodes 18, 19, 20. At the start of 18, you have: - Netflix reply intro (olympics etc), not tvN intro - immediately at 0:45 censored Batman, for example, and many blurred out posters throughout.
If it was not censored, you would see the tvN video elements on the screen permanently (like logo or 15 in the top right).
JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW... IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS ON NETFLIX, THEY CUT OFF SO MANY IMPORTANT AND FUNNY SCENES...…
Even on the 'illegal' streaming sites, Ep. 18, 19 and 20 have censored Netflix video (with I guess uncensored audio) instead of tVN. Many things are blurred out.
Was about the post the same.The pixelz are much uglier on Dramacool = Dramanice = whatever, but it's like 20-30%…
They're all the exact same thing. Literally the same video file/link. On Kissasian, it asks me if I want to continue from the timestamp where I was on Dramacool. (Just that 'Dramanice' is bad because they have forced adverts every ~27 minutes! I assume Kissasian doesn't?)
I haven't watched any of its prequels, Can I directly watch 199?
What is "199"? The production order is 1997 -> 1994 -> 1988. I didn't watch 1994, but I know 1994 "spoils" 1997 a bit due to having characters from it appear. 1988 shares some actors, themes, story elements with 1997.
On Netflix or other legal streaming sources, all have lots of blurring and replaced music. Rarely entirely removed scenes.
For anyone who didnt like this drama, can you please tell me why (without spoilers)? I want to watch something…
Sure.
There's virtually no plot, endless filler scenes, the most unfunny comedy imaginable with stupid animal noises as laugh track. Every "moral of the story" the show wants to sell is repeated ad-nauseam, over and over again, until even somebody who's playing a multiplayer online game at the same time will be forced to comprehend it – and then it's usually reinforced yet another time with a voiceover track.
Episode 2 is one of the most boring things I've seen in my entire life.
P.S.: You shouldn't watch it on Netflix anyway, they cut out a lot of the charm (copyrighted music and such).
In the three part making of/special that's "Episode 1" on some illegal sites, there's a scene where the main characters are playing Dance Dance Revolution. Is that in the uncensored version of the show (*not* Netflix/YouTube/Viki/etc), or was it cut out entirely?
Omg I hated that so much to be honest. He was already an adult when she was still a little kid, how in the hell…
He doesn't date (and marry) "his students' friend" but an accomplished doctor who performed surgery on him before. It just so happens that she's also a crazy fan, but she's in no way a child. Otherwise you're spot on.
I'd still give a 7.5 some fifteen years later.

I don't think "skip to episode 12" is sound advice, but I'm still quite bothered by what I had to watch before that.
