My only complaint with Oasis is that they waited too long to focus on the brothers. Like, I absolutely understanding waiting until the finale for the big reveal. But they should've really built up the tension between them much more in the preceding episodes instead of focusing more on other less interesting stuff. The last third of the series felt like it was going in circles. A lot of time wasted on the corruption/gang stuff, but never really contributing to the main event which is of course DH vs CW.
After the first few episodes, I realized this was going to be a more soapy drama. So I enjoyed those elements and the final episode absolutely suited the soapy approach to the story.
Okay I don’t understand why people saying is bad ending. More below With spoilers.
For me, I don't think it's a bad ending. It was the road that led to it where I think they could've done things differently and better. Especially with the relationship between DH and CW.
The final episode was satisfying -enough- and good considering the rocky path. But I definitely think they missed some opportunities to make it an even more emotional and dramatic conclusion.
The last 2 episodes were fantastic. This was a heartwrenching drama and even more weighty because of the historical…
I actually expected Cheol Woong to take a bullet for Doo Hak, I think that also would've been a tragic ending. The typical "villain" (even though he;s not really) redemption ending kind of thing. But I think they did a good finale.
Is the ending different from the webtoon? If yes, how? Someone who read the webtoon please, I’m ok with spoilers…
Less people are killed in the webtoon ending. But the webtoon overall approaches how it presents the characters differently from the series. The TV series took away some of the nuance in favor of more action instead. The differences affect how the ending comes across in the webtoon and the TV series.
For me the biggest sign when a show is bad, is when people are defending its bad(ness) by using the source material.…
Honest question, how are people using the webtoon to defend the show? Because I've seen a lot of people basically say the webtoon was much better and the show threw away many good things that would've made the ending feel much more -earned-, so to speak. Like, the webtoon had a much more nuanced approach to the various themes while the show removed all nuance and was basically just typical mindless summer blockbuster-type of stuff. Still a fun ride, but only just.
No because not every kdrama needs a happy ending it’s how reality works mate cuz sometimes we all need the sadness
I'm sad that I didn't feel sad at the ending. For me, it's because the characters are very one-dimensional. So it's not easy to forge a connection with them to care enough at the end. Again, just my feeling even though the show is just a fun ride overall.
I think that's the problem with the series. It lacked a lot of depth. lol Good ideas, but shallow result thanks to poor execution. Story-wise, that is. Technical-wise, it was well-done.
For anyone else who also read the webtoon, do you think perhaps the story is better suited for that format rather than a TV series?
At the same time, I feel a more direct adaptation of the webtoon (even if it will still have some problems) would've been more cohesive, especially relating to the ending.
I can understand why pepople didn't like the ending, but i did. The whole show was building up a critique of the…
The idea of the ending was fine, but I think they could've done a lot more in the previous episodes to build up to that moment better. After reading the webtoon, I think it does a better job with that. And the tweaks the drama made to the story hurt more than it helped.
I wonder why only 4 eps and not 6 like part 1. "the glory", "decoy" and "island" have this same format but they…
It was probably always meant to be 10 episodes. But TVING wanting to split the season, it made more sense to end the first part with the episode 6 cliffhanger rather than episode 5.
Really, who -wouldn't- go crazy having to deal with the whining and shallowness and stupidity of the others 24/7 in addition to having to fight octopus aliens? lol
Can someone tell me if the webtoon explains more stuff and if it does please spoil it🙏 also wtf happened to…
The webtoon in general is a bit more character driven. So the ending, which has some differences in the drama, makes much more sense. But also the rest of the webtoon plays out differently, so thats part of why the ending has differences.
I recommend reading the webtoon. It's actually short and a quick read.
