Jirisan

Korean Drama "Jirisan" is a nice surprise. For a drama about forest rangers, one might expect a more slice of life approach, with a group of rangers walking up and down the mountain. And yet, Jirisan presents an intriguing story with lots of suspense, action scenes and a big thriller factor. There were also some sweet family moments between the community and the rangers. The background story of the main lead was likewise a nice addition.

However, the first few episodes were a bit slow, as the story took its time to get into the action part and set in. The finale was unexpectedly out of tune with the rest of the drama as well and kind of disappointing for some reason, even though they did wrap up everything in the end.

Still, the eery atmosphere, the setting and the OST were all great and the performances even greater.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.

Gianna Jun is my favourite Korean actress. I have seen most of her movies and TV series. I have enjoyed watching episodes 1 and 2 of this new TV series and look forward to watching the remaining 14 episodes.

Now that I have seen the natural beauty of Jirisan National Park, I might visit that place in Autumn in a few years from now when the pandemic is finally over.

Jirisan is that mystery drama that holds you, you always want to see more episodes.

Drama that knew how to captivate its audience, in addition to being important, showing the side of the forest guards and how important the preservation of the hill is.

First 2 3 4 episodes I was very curious. Some episodes are good I watched 8 episode.. dull drama, some episodes are boring to me, I stopped watching remaining episodes changed rating 9 to 7.

I waited until I finished all episodes before writing this. I like the story a lot! It's unique and it kept me guessing who the killer was and what's the motive. At first, there were a lot of flashbacks which can be a bit confusing but as the story progressed it just kept getting better and better. It kept me at the edge of my seat! It's thrilling, action-packed and the storyline is the best. The acting is believable and the songs are good as well especially at the end scene where it gave me goosebumps and it's just hauntingly beautiful! I'm not so much into kdrama (I only watched Squid games and Jirisan and a few more which I didn't finish) but I'm glad I gave this a try. I love it!

Highly recommended! A must see!
