Ultimate Weapon Alice

One of the few times I didn't look for the imdb rating, before watching and it was actually worth it. I thought it would be a 5, something to pass the time. But I liked the acting by most of the cast, the story which was simple but good enough, the dark/weird atmosphere and of course the amazing soundtrack.

I wasn't going to leave a review, but I thought I would help a little bit people who might be interested in this drama.

Apparently I am required to write at least 600 characters for the review to be valid and I literally have nothing else to write about this drama. And with the last part I am done!

This was an unusual short series it has romance but not KD stupid romance with some good killing and the best sound track ever on KD. The writing is great and the pace consistant this is a good model for what series should be, roughly 4 hours not 20 hours of repetitive boredom. Would have given it ten but they kind of blew the last episode but the ending was good still it was a bad episode.

Alice, the Final Weapon is a South Korean television-series written and directed by Lee Byeong-hun. High-schooler Seo Yeo-reum (Park Geon-hee) is suffering from childhood trauma and deduced himself to a human punching bag to cope with his feelings of depression and numbness. Battered and bruised without a purpose to live, he comes across the presence of transfer student Han Gyeo-wool (Park Se-wan) who harbors a mysterious past as a trained killer, codenamed "Alice." Having hidden her true identity to live a normal life in South Korea. She is hunted by assassins all over the globe. Including her former teacher, a psychopathic madman known as Spicy (Kim Tae-hoon). This not only leads to violent situations for the pair involving intense action sequences. It complicates the equation as the teenagers have fallen in love and plan to stick together through thick-and-thin. Will they be able to make it out alive whilst keeping their relationship in tact?

The premise may seem recognizable to various stories within the action-genre. But the plot is layered with an odd and out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere based off the dark humor and quirky personalities from the characters portrayed by Park Se-wan and Song Geon-hee. Keeping the viewer attentive during this eight episode season. Supplemented with upbeat tracks from composers Chung Chae-woong and Lee Seung-yeon that perfectly encapsulate the euphoria of finding your true love. The narrative explores how even damaged individuals have a chance at finding someone in the most unfortunate circumstances. And how life can become meaningful when you have a special person by your side.

What a great series. As the title suggests, I thought it was a simple series when I started watching the first episode, but it was so mesmerizing that I decided to change the video quality to 4K and watch it. My heart couldn't contain the excitement. It was a great series. I was totally mesmerized by the cast's performance. Each and every cast member played their role brilliantly-out of words, seriously! I could watch this series again and again. I don't know why the ratings are so low, but it was really fun to watch. I really hope that such series are more prevalent in society because as a viewer I loved it I always appreciate the directors way of projecting a story and this was on one of the best.

Korean Drama " Ultimate Weapon Alice " is a noir action drama.

The series creates the right atmosphere, dark and intriguing, just like a spy movie. It keeps that noir atmosphere right till the very ending.

The start is also pretty intense, as the mystery of each character slowly unravels, with some flashbacks here and there. There is also a comedy tone to the story.

On the other hand, the drama is to short. Thus, the story is rushed and the relationships between the characters aren't that smoothly developed and matured.

The performances were pretty great though.

So, overall, six out of ten.
