Gangnam B-Side

Gangnam B Side has been such an intense ride so far! Ji Chang-wook delivers another incredible performance, and his action scenes are on point as always. The plot is full of suspense and keeps you guessing, with each episode leaving me wanting more. If you're a fan of action-packed dramas with layered storytelling, this one's worth checking out. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds!... ) The story was based on the book Made in Gangnam by Jo Won-Gyu, and he is the screenwriter of this drama.

2) Ji Chang-wook's Yoon Gil Ho character role was inspired by the 17-year-old boy. The screenwriter met him while he was working as the call driver.

3) Ep 5-6 faced problems from some high people in SK because it was real.

Overall 9/10.

Let me tell you when i watched a korean youtube review, it seemed like a burning sun scandal and it gave me goosebumps after hearing that story really happened in gangnam based on the author's interview. I really like the story which is based on a true story, the plot also has lots of unique characters and ji chang wook acting is really insane lol. This feels like another world with the worst of evil actors. Episodes 1 and 2 are a bit too heavy because they tell different plots for each role. However, in the end little by little the facts began to emerge one by one. I think Episodes 3 and 4 are perfect and can slowly resolve the problem. Next episode will be more interesting, but why is bibi and ji chang wook chemistry so angst? Lmao. Please reunite them again with romance!

A great drama that touches the soft underbelly of society, and I was even more surprised that the story is based on a true story, perfect casting of the actors, perfect acting by Ji Chang Wook, such a talented actor, who doesn't need much text, he simply has a phenomenal ability to convey a variety of emotions with his facial expressions and eyes. It's true that there are violent scenes in the film, but they are necessary for the plot. The plot reminds me of the scandal of Burning Sun in Seoul, which involved politicians, celebrities, police officers, lawsuits/prosecutors, trafficking in women, drug use and trafficking, corruption, sexual favors. And all of this happened in a nightclub for friends only.

It's true that the first two episodes are a bit confusing, but in the following episodes the picture becomes clearer.

Excellent soundtrack Perfect direction And as I said, perfect casting A drama worth watching.

Korean Drama '' Gangnam B-Side '' is a dark, action drama.

The drama has a quite dark story, and is unafraid to show a more realistic approach on the underground of Gangnam, as its title gives away.

It also has many action scenes and fighting sequences that were well-choreographed.

The characters were interesting as well, even though some of them were moving stereotypes.

In addition, the drama rushed things through, and so the chemistry and the relationship between the characters were inorganic and unrealistic, as well as some parts of the plot. The time jumps were not smooth either.

Finally, the performances were great and enjoyable by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I think this is one of the best dramas of 2024 (if not the best). This is a hard look at really that society wants us to forget and ignore. Choosing Gangnam as the backdrop of this story was a great move, because behind the glitz and glamour that this place represents lies the dark truth at all is not well in this world. The stories of survival in this drama touches on reality , and it was really very well told, it did not hold back, whether it is painful or not, acceptable or not, the story told it as it is. Those who watched it and understood what it is all about will find it thought provoking (and painful at times). With 4 episodes down, we are really rooting for the characters to have a "saving grace ending" (to be less painful and a lot hopeful)...This is a must watch.... Great work to all those who made this masterpiece of a drama.( Special mention to Ji Chang Wook who must have had the hardest time shooting, great choice of work) Bravo!!!!!
