Grid

I really need someone to explain to me what happened in the last episode especially the last 15 minutes!!!! 😭😭 I loved the mystery that was found in the drama, but can't give it 10 stars because I didn't understand anything literally 😭😭😭

Grid offers something new and fresh and better than some monotonous Hollywood sci-fi series. The story is not very good but the element of mystery managed to keep me going until the end of the episode.

It started with a lousy introduction that was too ambitious on paper and then began to jump between one plot after another until the end. There was a desperate need for a better coherent structure and pacing. The characters were more or less fine but, despite being one of the most important characters, the ghost lacked a better characterization to make her role more impactful. The last 1-2 episodes were fundamentally bad, their main purpose was to lay down a handful of new elements for an imaginary sequel. This is a bad common practice streaming services have been pulling since forever to keep hold of the viewers attention regardless if they were planning for a sequel or not. The only acceptable scenario for such a practice is to have a direct sequel to follow it. Anyway, the drama was very mediocre Sci-Fi with a handful of failures.

Only saw one ep for now-but wow--superb wish uk did drama like this instead of reality rubbish every night--korea seem to have decent drama every single day-cant wait to watch full series-and of course the next series they have or movie--wish i spoke korean i could watch way more.

This is clearly a well-budgeted and well-made show.

However, I was left feeling out of place with it constantly. Maybe it's my fault - I did watch it sporadically so I kept having to catch up with the thread of the story.

Nevertheless I just didn't connect with it and didn't feel the sense of danger that (I presume) I was supposed to feel.

The acting is fine and it's full of nice shots and cinematography. But it all felt very clinical - even with the subtitles (I find dubbing often puts me off) and left me baffled why I should care.

A complex story really needs to get you involved and this one doesn't. So you're left with no reason to invest the time. However, I did manage to watch the entire show, but the final episodes felt more like a duty than a fun.

If they do a second series I may give it a try... there are the seeds of a good show in there.
