Newtopia

I was impressed with the quality of this production: time just flew by and didn't find a boring scene. The story background was simple but realistic that I was easily drawn into the story. It was quite an interesting feeling to be scared but found it funny at the same time while watching. To me, it was a chill show to wrap up my busy week with some joy and excitement at the same time!

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!

Last but not least, no dobt Jisoo's acting has been improved (for sure male lead was doing a great job as well!). Also, I was wondering how Jisoo still look so gorgeous in those scaring scenes! Nice Watch!

So far I'm into episode 4. Ep1 was indeed a bit boring, as has been said by others. But you'll get to the end. In Ep2 the story begins to unfold. Don't expect a masterpiece in originality or story telling or camera work or dialog or anything really. All the 10 star reviews are just not objective, but neither are the 1 stars. Taste may be a bigger factor here than in other shows, because the story is nothing new, but it is done in a somewhat original way as a mix of horror (not much of it really), drama, and comedy (childish/quirky /silly, like in many k-series), and it may just suit you or it may not. It's harmless k-comedy-drama at its core in a zombie setting. Why not. The characters are a bit generic and could use more depth, but I do care about the main parts. And I wonder how the story continues, and what becomes of them.

So all in all, a solid 7. After Ep4 I raise to 7.5. Fine with me for a few hours of escapism.

Absolutely hilarious. I love Jisoo's acting so much, she delivered so much emotions in just 2 episodes. Although the first episode got me slacking a little but in episode 2 everything changes. It gotten way more funnier! And I love the dynamics between Jisoo's boyfriend and his friend. The way he kept looking out for him haha. Furthermore, I have to admit it that I watched this show for Jisoo because she always served!! Like whenever she pops out on screen I was like "YES GIRL" "OKAYY FACECARDDDDDD" Overall, I love this show, I don't watch much K-drama.. but for Jisoo, I will :) And the zombie appearance is lowkey scary haha.

Honestly, I watch Newtopia just to see actress Jisoo back on screen. I normally don't watch Korean movies or series but you shoud give this Newtopia series a chance.

As I watched episode 1 and 2, I realized that this series is so good. Zombie series but presented as funny, humorous way, plus the love story between Jisoo's characters and her enlisted army boyfriend making me curious, will they survive and meet again? Resolved their love?. It's refreshing, funny, so engaging, thrilling and Jisoo's acting is so good. She is improving, evolving as an actress. I am looking forward to her future acting projects.

As I said earlier, you shoud give this Newtopia series a chance.

Only 2 episodes have released but honestly saying, I am just obsessed with the series already. Everything is so good but the best part is the comedy. I am enjoying it so much, can't wait for the zombie action scenes but I am loving the comic elements as of now. Park Jeong Min is great great great and so hilarious for real. I am now his fan for sure. As for Kim Jisoo, I knew she was a crackhead in Blackpink so of course this role would suit her a lot and she didn't disappointed me at all. She is so funny as well and I definitely see the improvement in her acting from snowdrop. She acted great in snowdrop as a debutant but at some points, it felt like "she is acting", but as young Joo, it doesn't feel like she is acting, it feels like she is young Joo, she is living that character which is important for any actor out there. The plot is also quite interesting and very unusual which makes it even better. It's different from other zombie series definitely, and I am so excited for the upcoming episodes of Newtopia.
