I watched Connect on Hulu in one sitting, as I had planned to - it was a much awaited Jung Hae In series.
Jung Hae In's acting as an isolated and bullied humanoid, who still retains hope and innocence was excellent, to the point of heartbreaking in some scenes. The way he controlled that one eye, and his body to show loss of perspective made me think - "so, this is how one eyed pirates of Hollywood should have played it." The slanting slouch that he assumed to convey his lowly stature in society was remarkable - contrast it with how Lim Soo Hoo of Snowdrop carries himself, or the lilting, half dancing step of Jun Hee in SITR . The utter loneliness and invisibility of the urban outsider, is clearly a main theme that both the director and Jung Hae In want us to see and take away.
What surprised me though was how the overall graphic novel like aesthetics and color palette, invites the viewer in, and makes even the most gruesome scenes watchable. It somehow conveys that the director is somewhere close by, and we needn't be too scared. All kudoes to Director Miike who takes us to the brink of the macabre and then quickly pulls us back to the everyday world.
While the story pits Ha Dong Soo who resists using his super power against a pathetic Oh Jin Seopp who craves to be immortalized, there are other contrasts that are delicately presented. Yi Rang and Dong Soo are Connect, but they are not really alike. Yi Rang, the Connect is in some ways similar to the human Jin Seopp, in that both believe in their own superiority. Dong Soo on the other hand is akin to Detective Choi who understands him, and his vulnerability. His art is healing, and endears him to the musician Z. It seems to me that these are Director Miike's metaphors for contradictions in today's polarized world. Like the red tendrils that are the motif of the show, these interplays run through each episode and foreshadow further development in Season 2.
Kim Hye Joon plays the role of the confident Lee Yi Rang impressively - she is strong, smart and ambitious, and unfettered. And, she does it without overshadowing Ha Dong So who is outwardly diffident. Go Kyung Pyo is an actor I like a lot from Reply 1988 and Strongest Delivery Man. But the way he played the psychopath didn't strike any fear in me, must be because the previous images are still strong in my mind.
Choices that didn't work for me: 1. Too much air time for the organ hunters trope. Time that could have been used to strengthen the backstory and depth of the main characters, or to introduce the pharma company- they would have added menace, and more intrigue for Season 2.
2. It is logical and biological for I Rang and Dong Soo to reach for each other. However, the whole scene seemed half-hearted on the part of the director, and the actors.
3. I honestly did not understand the point of Gideun. He may well be a Season 2 foreshadow.
All these are minor issues. So my overall rating is 9/10.
