Netflix has another series to watch, and I am a little bit interested in watching this series after seeing the poster.

Because it looks like it's another life-and-death situation, just like Sweet Home.

Oh! I already watched Sweet Home 2, but I am not finished writing a blog full of thoughts about this Netflix series because it's difficult for me to explain it. It's very difficult for me to write and gather all my thoughts, but I love Song Kang.

Back to our main topic, before I discuss the scenes in every episode, let me share with you my thoughts about the animated opening of this series.

Nothing special. It's just similar to the opening of the "Revenant" Netflix series that I have watched. But, I really like how they draw each character, just like when you are "wanted" at a police station and the victim needs to describe the looks of the suspect. At the first time that I watched this, I wondered why and how it connected to the story.

Okay, this is so very scary if this happens in real life. Imagine that you are just enjoying yourself and didn't know that there's a lot of parasites coming down out of nowhere. You are just enjoying your night, then boom! That is your last experience of happiness in your life.

I almost threw up when I saw this thin thing. I watch a lot of series that contain bloody scenes, and I love zombie movies, but this one is different, and I don't know why.

I really admire this actor who is good at making his eyes look like that—is it just an effect or editing? I tried my best to copy his eyes being like that, but I couldn't do it. Haha

I am immune to this kind of scene and script now, but I couldn't stop giggling when I imagined it, and I thought this was a boring series for me because it looks like it's the same as All of Us Are Dead, Sweet Home, and other series that are impossible to happen in real life, but no. I was in the first half of episode 1 when I started to kind of enjoy watching this series.

What I really like and am surprised about is that this series has new actors and actresses. They cast different artists, which is good because I am tired of watching some Netflix series with the same artist. They are giving a good opportunity to the other actors to show their talents too.

And one of the best characters that I fall in love with in this series is this girl.

I really like how she's being cool here, especially when she holds her gun. Beng!

Actresses' expressions became a hot issue for some viewers because of "The Impossible Heir" k-drama. Some of the viewers dislike how the female lead acts. It's a very good thing that this Netflix series's protagonist can really act and act her character very well. I really like her when she has dual personalities, like a badass expression and being inoccent.

Anyway, I noticed that when she transforms into someone else, it's like Song Kang's character in Sweet Home, and I'm really amazed by the editors talent because their transformations look natural to me.

What I also enjoyed watching series is that there is also an action scene, which I didn't expect because I get used to scenes like chasing the protagonist or any character in the series by some supernatural creatures; they are idiots or weak, so they will hide, like that, but this scene is very different because it's looks natural and the guy is focusing on his life problem despite the fact that he knows that there's a lot of monsters around.

I forgot to say that this is action mixed with a funny scene. Even if his guy opponent is a thug, he never hesitates to face him. Haha

Here in our province, some say that when you pick gray hair in your hair, the gray hair will grow a lot. Lol

1000026514.jpg

I noticed that some Korean dramas and series always keep mentioning our country. Why does our country seem so popular in some Korean dramas and series now?

1000026515.jpg

Oh, my grandpa! Why did you send your kid here to our country? So that he can learn our language, "Wikang tagalog," eh? Charought.

Anyway, I have seen him in different Korean dramas that I have watched. But his character here seems different, and so I am not getting used to it because I knew him as a rich, strict father or grandfather to his sons.

I don't know if I will laugh at this scene or not, but there's a part of me that finds the protagonist's power cool. However, it's also not new to us now that the protagonist is a half-half, so I expected that already.

I laughed so hard at this scene because of the character of this guy. He is so funny. He was so handsome and cool at the beginning, and I liked him, but boy, I didn't expect that he was a clown man.

Actually, he has a lot of funny scenes in some of the episodes of this series, but that one is the funniest for me.

This Netflix series is almost perfect for me, but the negative point of this series is this part of the episode. For me, I am not a fan of unrealistic scenes. Well, there's a chance that we will have monsters, zombies, etc. In our world, nothing is impossible, and we can't predict the future. However, I am a little disappointed by scenes that are not happening in real life. This is just for me, okay? But, I guess, the moral lesson of the story is the most important in this scene. So, I will ignore it and still continue watching it.

I really fall in love with the protagonist's look here. She's really good at her expressions and acting, which is why I will add her to my list of favorite actresses. I thought she was a new actress, but when I googled her name, I found that she has a lot of Korean movies and TV shows. Why didn't they cast her more?! She's really good at her acting, and I just really hope that this Netflix series will be popular because of her.

Wait, what? Who is this Schinichi? Does this Netflix series have another season? Or did I miss something that I didn't know about this series?


I really enjoyed watching this Netflix series. I felt mixed emotions while watching this and I am really glad because it's different from the other sci-fi series genres that I have watched, which is the reason that I finished the total of six episodes in just one day.

Oh! I found the Japanese version of thiss (I don't know if it's connected to this series, but I am confused about Schinichi's appearance) and I haven't watched it yet, but I will try when I have some free time.

THANKS FOR READING!

Oh my! I feel like writing this will spoil a lot of scenes for the viewers who haven't yet watched it. I'm worried.
