A very good show. Action, intrigue, monsters, love, murder and brutality from the occupation forces. It's well worth a watch, looking forward to season 2. Some unexpected developments from the last episode need to be answered. :thinking: :thumbsup_tone1:
good i hope a season 2 is coming
10/10 is only my opinion
The Stranger things of Joseon
It was a nice attempt by Netflix to replicate the Stranger Things formula in Japenese occupied Joseon thats nearing its independence ; so while the story brings nothing new spectacular Park Seo-jun brings his A-charm and Han Soo-hee as usual nails a character oriented cast despite the shoddy dialogues and character degradation how they made a ferocious female lead another damsel in distress with her stupid decisions and turn a mild character as major shadow villain
As someone who can understand both japanese and korean phrases the mish-mash of both languages in conversation was a game for me to consciously recognize the languages and check the subtitles correctness.
The villains are not the great but they are nazi level craziness in their experiments and -1 for not so happy ending ; unnecessarily killing the female lead

I liked the juxtaposition between seriousness and comedy - between the creature and the festivities of Incheon. Also the Japanese Unit 731 references. I thought there were some really bad moments - like 3 elite fighters struggling with 1 normal soldier. And also the extended dialogue in high adrenaline moments (nobody has time to have a heartfelt conversation when you have bullets flying above you).
