Missing: Geudeuli Itseodda

Not bad. Great storyline something similar that ive crossed with multiple times especially on animes and other series that i cant think of the name, but definitely familiar. Great line of casts although im not familiar with not even of them. Beautiful sceneries and really great graphics. Looks every clean and tone of the series was very bright and cheerful despite having a depressing/sad plot. Average sound scores, nothing extraordinary (exception on emotional moments - very moving sounds). A huge fan of the natural sceneries. Very emotional, suspenseful/mysyery and great drama for the fantasy loving audiences. Highly recommended.

It's an amazing concept. Watched the first season on Netflix and waiting for the more seasons to come. I really loved Mr. Jang's character, what a beautiful way to portray for father's endless love and their quest. It's a breath of fresh air when you see most of the K-dramas revolve around some sort of a love story. Although this too has bit n pieces of love story, but that's not all of it, which is the thing to love about this show. Highly recommend it.

There were some characters which did not make any sense at all. They were there for one or two episodes with no real need or justification, for instance Jong Ah's friend. But other than that it was a smooth ride.

For as much as I liked this show, I don't have much to say. In part, that's because not much can be said without spoiling something. I went into MTOS knowing nothing and I'm glad I did. The mysteries undergo a gradual-unravel. The viewer who comes into the show with even half of the answers is MISSING half of the fun.

MTOS follows a string of murders and missing persons - some new, some old, some very old. The viewer watches police as they investigate, and follows the families, friends and the victims themselves. It is utterly heartbreaking, yet it is lined with hope. It is a 2 season 2020 release, rated 89 on AWiki and consisting of 26 60ish-minute episodes. Currently, the very popular S2 is not available for streaming. S1 is just 12 episodes.

The acting is truly superb. Go Soo (Heart Surgeons, The Flower in Prison) is Kim Wook. He witnesses the abduction of a woman which makes him the next target of the gangsters - they saw him seeing what they did, and they don't like witnesses. He must run for his life and his running takes him to a very strange village.

Heo Joon Ho (Kingdom-8.3, Why Her?-8) plays Jang Pan Seok, a man who lives in the village. His life ended when his daughter was abducted over 15 years ago. He spends his time handing out fliers, visiting the police, and chasing leads - most of them false. Ahn So Hee (Thirty-Nine, Eulachacha Waikiki S2) plays Lee Jong Ah, one of Wook's coworkers. She is super-cool. Her part is cool, but the coolness really seems to be the actress herself. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. Ha Joon (Black Dog-8.2, Destined with You, Crazy Love-7.8) plays Shin Joon Ho, a cop who appears to have much more head than heart. Two residents of the village are Seo Eun Soo (Dr. Romantic, Duel, Chief Detective 1958) as Choi Yeo Na and Song Geon Hee (SKY Castle, Lovely Runner) as Thomas Cha. Ji Dae Han (Chicago Typewriter) really shines as Officer Baek Il Doo. I can't explain it, but midshow I realized that every line he uttered amused me immensely. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him as well. The director is Min Yeon Hong from Ugly Alert. The screenwriters are Ban Ki Ri from Who Are You and Witch's Romance, and Jung So Young - a first effort.

MTOS is more a crime thriller than anything else, but it is quite unique. While many horrible things happen, it somehow manages to send the viewer off strangely uplifted. It's a horrible world with horrible things going on all the time. We are blessed if we can find any decent companions with whom to brave the elements. Wook navigates heartbreaks while forming firm alliances with worthy allies. By the end, he's missing much less despite his losses. He is able to reconcile with his past and go forward as a better man. Would that each one of us could.

A ghost show but not scary show. This make you smile. The whole cast is soo good and I liked each and every character. For me it was beautiful imagination of the writer. A missing dead people staying in mysterious village until someone found the body. And two main character can see them and help them. That was really a good imagination. I liked second season as well hopefully we can get the third season also It will be amazing. Unfortunately this kind of drama doesn't get recongnization from the people because there is no hot actor in the series according to them and no kissing scenes so they won't even tried to watch it.

Missing: The Other Side is similarly in concept to Hotel Del Luna., (which I absolutely loved). I really wanted to like this series, it had all the potential of a great series: ghosts, crime, mystery and hidden identity. However, the slower pace, drawn out plots, predictable character arcs and incoherent character stories lost a lot of points for me.

Missing became extremely dragging midpoint and some story points became fairly illogical (ie. Antagonist had the option to follow main character, choses not to but still ends up trying to trick him into a trap). These odd decisions leads the viewers in a long-winded route just to get back to the same spot.

The acting is great was the cast but the writing for the characters weren't as captivating as there was a lack of indepth development. Most of the character's main goal remains the same throughout and their decisions are made to prolong the series rather than logical.

There are many heartfelt moments in the series as certain characters moves on, but these moments were either dragged out or not developed enough.

If it had slightly faster pacing or less episode, it would have worked better.
