Hershey-26

Loved seasons 1-5, but season 6 was a letdown. The casting of Harry, William, and Kate was way off-they looked and acted nothing like the real royals, with no depth or resemblance at all. It felt like the show gave up once it hit the modern era, losing the authenticity and detail that made the earlier seasons so compelling.

This is one of those movies that manages to entertain but doesn't quite break new ground. I'd give it a solid 6 out of 10 stars. Good enough for a one-time watch, but not something that will linger in your memory long after the credits roll.

One of the strongest aspects of the movie is the acting. The cast delivered convincing performances that made the story feel grounded, even when the plot ventured into the absurd or predictable. The characters came across as genuine, which made me care enough to keep watching, even when I could already guess where things were headed. It's clear that the actors poured a lot of effort into their roles, and that helped elevate the overall experience.

What stood out to me most were the comedic moments, especially the scenes involving the nurse who thought she was hallucinating after taking drugs. Those moments added a lighthearted touch to an otherwise straightforward narrative. They were funny without feeling forced, and they gave the movie some personality. That balance of humor and seriousness is one of the film's charms.

However, where Isolated falls short is in its predictability. The storyline feels familiar, following tropes that most viewers will recognize right away. There weren't many surprises, and while the pacing kept things moving, I often found myself anticipating the next scene rather than being caught off guard. It's the kind of film where you can almost play out the entire plot in your head after the first 20 minutes.

That being said, the movie is still entertaining enough. It doesn't overstay its welcome, and it provides enough laughs and drama to make for a casual watch. If you're in the mood for something light, not too heavy, and with a few chuckle-worthy moments, Isolated delivers. Just don't expect a groundbreaking or deeply thought-provoking experience.

In short, Isolated is a decent entry in Filipino cinema on Netflix - funny in parts, carried by good acting, but ultimately too predictable to stand out. It's worth watching once, especially if you're curious, but it may not be a movie you'll revisit.

Loved the original and it was too good that I watched it twice. But this adaptation is forced. For the first time, I dont like the lead male and female actors. They have no chemistry at all. ZERO. NADA. ZILCH. I am not convinced of Anne's crazy persona. She looks too angelic and I know her personality offscreen so Im not buying the dark persona. As for the lead actor, I honestly do not understand who ever thought about pairing him with Anne and I guess nobody ever thought there'd be a huge comparison to the original actor in the Korean series. He was too good at acting and too goodlooking to be replaced by Joshua. I know this sounds offensive but Im just stating facts here. There is a huge downgrade on the lead actor in this adaptation and for the first time ever, I am more impressed with the secondary amd supporting actors played by Carlo and Enchong. They are both great in this series and it's the only reason I made it to episode 16 but after that Im done. Done wasting my time on leads that have no chemistry. Nobody shouldve forced this series adaptation. The original was way too good to be replicated. Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun were just too good and had great chemistry. If we can't write and create original stories, let's at least give justice to adaptations by casting the best fit for each character, especially the leads. Even the dialogues are so cringe I just cant continue watching.
