Gyeongseong Creature

Very enyojable and fun to watch but it didn't quite reach the expectations i set for it. Part 1 absolutely slayed i couldn't wait for part 2, but as much as i liked it, it felt a little dragged, like the contents from part 1 were just repeating themselves and then came the ending, that personally, doesn't make sense to me. The character development scenes felt overshadowed by the constant action scenes. Overall the show is really well made with incredilbe cast. There is potential for season .I recommend it as a watch, i'd just wished there were more laid back moments where we got to see the characters relationships grow.

For now I give it 6 stars, and though I haven't seen all the 7 episodes released so far, I'm not surprised the k-drama fans are out in force as usual to blow smoke up its backside. It's pointless to come here for a balanced review on anything k-drama because everything is "must see" and the "best drama" of the year, whatever the actual quality.

No-one does monsters quite like the Koreans and there's been a glut of shows featuring monsters and zombies in the past few years. Because of this there's some high bars to reach and overcome and there's really nothing here we haven't already seen. There's an uneasy mix of occasional comedy thrown in with the drama which might settle and gel as time goes on but in the early stages comes across as jarring.

I'll update this when I've seen the whole series, but right now I'm just here to say that if it really is as marvellous as all the 10 star reviews, I'll happily eat my hat. Until then I'm reserving judgement, despite being an admirer of the two leads. That's not enough for this to be an automatic masterpiece.

Season 1 It's such a tragic history of Korea while Korea was colonized by Japanese for 35 years from 1910 to 1945. It was painful to watch Gyeongseong Creature cuz it's based on true history but I am sure the reality was even brutal/cruel.

The first episode of the show takes its time to build up the entire narrative, but once you let the period, the fantasy, and the premise in, you are in for a growling ride that you do not want to miss! The cinematography and director need to have mentions for 'Gyeongseong Creature'.

Strong Performances: Both Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee deliver strong performances, particularly in the action scenes.

Overall: "Gyeongseong Creature" Season 1 is a captivating and suspenseful K-drama that successfully blends horror, mystery, and historical elements. While it has some minor flaws, its strengths lie in its unique premise, strong performances, and engaging plot, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre.

Season 2 This series should have ended with season 1. Pretty sure when this series was written it had only season one but Netflix being Netflix was like " ok now lets make season 2".

I personally am gonna forget that a season 2 even exists.

Great suspense and good storyline with a historical background. The drama has some of my favourite actors in it; Han So-hee from 'My Name', Park Seo-joon who never fails to make me smile hence bringing a bit of lightness to the drama, Kim Hae-sook showing her motherly love and Wi Ha-joon from 'Squid game, Little Women and The Worst of Evil always with an air of quiet confidence that makes him very attractive! Although it all adds to the suspense I personally don't like gore and monster-like creatures but the drama does say 'horror' as part of its genres. I got round that by fast forwarding those parts .... Pretty much like I did for Game Of Thrones which is a universal hit! I'm on Episode 4 and I am still pretty much intrigued enough to keep watching.

Han So-Hee didn't disappoint, again.

Experiments on humans were portrayed so good that 95% of the time I had to look away.

Characters are well-written and it's not easy to predict outcome.

Get ready for bunch of plot twists that will make your jaw drop.

On the other hand CGI was good but you can still tell that it's CGI. So that's one of the things I didn't enjoy that much. Anyway, drama is so good that I watched all 7 episodes in one breath.

Immediately after watching I came to give my rating, and I was astonished to see such low ratings. Most of the ratings are 1, and I bet those people didn't even watch the show. And I'm guessing they were given by bunch of JK girlfriends that are jealous because Han Soo-Hee starred in their boyfriend's music video.

Don't let those small ratings to keep you away from this drama, it's better than most of the dramas that are currently on the air.

NVM. 10/10 now. Wow, It just keep getting better and better.
