Save Me

Initially, I was turned off by a story line surrounding a cult, but the first episode was tragically relatable (high school bullying, vulnerable teens targeted, the rich, good-looking guy who everyone knows who assumes the new girl will automatically want to be with him, a poor, broken family victimized and conned out of the last of their savings and left homeless in a new town...and manipulative cult members promising a "better" life to the disenfranchised). I was pulled in by the heartbreak and tragedy of a single episode and remained hooked until the end.

I'm here, after 5 years that I watched to tell you: you need to watch this drama (but be careful because it's a heavy one).

This was my first drama ever, and in that time I didn't knew what was that and how amazing this universe is and yet I really loved. Once you start, you can't stop until the end wanting to know what happens to the girl and her family in this scandal and how she will get help. In that time, it made me really give me a thought about religions and cults.

The only thing that you cannot try to find here is the romance because the focus is in the whole problem that the cult caused to the family of protagonist.

Season 1 is good series

Family move from the City to the countryside where they soon become entangled in a cult. Their daughter enlists the help of some boys she knew from school to save her. This proves difficult as all the local police and government officials are in the cults pocket and every single adult in this series is and idiot or crooked. The cult leader is very well Acted and believable and of course we have the lovely Seo Ye-ji who is always worth watching.

Highly recommend watching this gripping thriller series. It's exciting from start to finish. South Korea has a real cult problem so they have a good reason to make a drama dealing with cults. With what happened in the Shincheonji Church in Daegu and the spread of Coronavirus this show is eerily relevant and prophetic. What is good about this story is how they get behind the characters of the rescuers so you feel for them. Their attempts are very human and believable and very exciting while remaining plausible. There are some pretty exciting fight scenes along the way too. Sometimes it's frustrating how gullible the people are but cults wouldn't exist without such people. Thank goodness there is a complete enough ending. A couple of small faults. There are quite a few characters and couldn't distinguish some secondary ones for a while Also the religious chants and rants were a little tiresome after a while. Some praise for the cast. After It's Okay to Not Be Okay I tuned in to see the memorable actress Seo Ye Ji in an earlier series. Extremely demanding role for the actress and she does a great job in some dramatic scenes. I can see why she got cast in It's Okay after this. Ok Taec Yeon and Woo Do Hwan are good to as the guys who try to rescue her. Feel for their dilemmas. The villains are convincing too without overdoing it.
