Connect

While the story sounds extremely intriguing, something about the execution of this show didn't work out for me. After a couple episodes, it was sometimes a drag to keep watching. It's not a bad show at all, but it definitely did not leave me longing for more. It's good quality but of the recent K-Dramas I've watched, this one is certainly the weakest.

That's all I wanted to say, but I have to stretch it out a little more since the required characters are not filled yet. I am glad this show was made, as it has quite a few nice touches and unique elements. I do not regret watching it, neither would I easily recommend it.

I didn't know this series was produced by Disney, I knew about it after watching it. Well, it makes so much more sense.

Connect is not a bad series. I haven't read the webtoon, but I guess there's more to it than just 6 episodes.

Disney is used to make few episodes series, I don"t know why. But compared to the usual Korean series than have 12-18 episodes, this one feels really rushed and underdevelopped. There's very little things that made sense and the plot, after a strong pilot, got lost in a chaotic writting and screenplay.

Also, I don't understand why you would get Miike (who I find totally overated) to direct it, there are so many great Korean directors.... Even without knowing that Disney was involved, watching Connect, it really felt like it was made out for an Occidental audience, just like Squid game for instance (and it's all but good...).

Please Korea, don't sell your soul and your style to Occidental people and to companies which have absolutely no respect for the series nor the audience.

I binged watched the entire Connect series with 6 episodes in 1 sitting.

Director Takashi Miike did a great job. The acting is perfection most specially Jung Hae In. He acted so well considering this is his first time doing CGI work.

The visual effects and cinematography are also well done. It is a must watch.

I especially like how they used music to interweave each storyline. It is a welcome enhancement to the webtoon. Jung Hae In's voice is so soothing that I end up contantly listening to it in spotify.

I just wish that they will have Season 2 very soon as episode 6 is such a cliffhanger.

I didn't have a high expectation for this show, but based on the trailers and the big names, I thought this would be an interesting show. However, It was actually more than what I was expecting. First, CGI is surprisingly well done. CGI on TV shows in general has a certain generic quality, but this show certainly surpassed the bar, and has convincing quality. The story is also very unique and well scripted. It shows more complicated story with deeper layers.

The downside is as some pointed out, it looks like it's rushed, or shorten the overall story. I felt there are at least two episodes missing. One between episode 3 and 4 and another one between 5 and 6. Also special effects have a wide room for improvement. They seemed to have focused on CGI a lot, but focused less on props such as severed limbs and blood.

I think people are giving this show lower ratings because of its gory scenes. I know not everyone has a stomach for it, but in my opinion, we actually saw less of Takashi Miike and more of Kdrama. Hope I can see more of Takashi Miike on season 2 if there is.

Just finished the show. Originally, I was looking forward to watching this as the cast of this one is really promising. The fact that it's a Disney+ original added another alluring feel to it.

However, it was a disappointment.

The acting was okay, but the storyline felt lackluster and incomplete; it had potential but something was definitely missing. The visuals were great though, some of the scenes were mesmerizing. But the lack of depth and character development was glaring. I wish the writers had done a better job with the plot.

They could have added more twists and turns and made it more interesting. It felt like the story was barely touched upon in the time given and could have been a lot more enjoyable if the writers had gone a little bit deeper into the characters and the story. All in all, it was okay, but nothing extraordinary.
