Live

I had been watching a lot of K-drama and comedy series on Netflix and this one popped up on my recommendation list. I started watching the first episode and while the acting was excellent, the episode was a little slow and I wasn't hooked. That changed rapidly towards the end of the first episode. I ended up binge watching the entire series over a few days, often giving up sleep so I could watch "just a few minutes more". When I was done, I went back and re-watched a couple of episodes. Then I went back and binge watched the entire series a second time. This show is simply that good. I didn't want it to end.

The show follows the lives of the members of local police station as they deal with issues while on duty and in their everyday lives. The stories are very well developed and the acting is excellent. As the show progresses, the characters grow in depth and you find yourself becoming emotionally attached to them and caring about their outcomes. But be warned, there are some gut-wrenching moments in this show and there were several times I was brought to tears.

As other reviewers have stated, this show needs a season 2.

I have quit watching countless Netflix drama series after an episode or two. More often than not theres nothing that hooks the audience in. Either the plot lacks character or the characters lack heart. This Korean based series draws you in on the first episode with the introduction of the series rookies. You see what drives them and you cant help but cheer them on. This is fresh material that I havent seen on Netflix in awhile. I hope there is a season 2.

It's very difficult to explain all the things I felt watching this show. The cast here is impeccable. I've never watched a K-drama before, but ill say this. I'm seriously praying for a 2nd season. Superb acting. Superb script. Superb score. Best show I've ever seen. Huge thanks to the cast and creators. Thanks. Gracias. Much love.

Live is a fantastic drama, which is equally devastating and inspiring to watch. This is a very realistic drama, and it doesn't hold back to show the brutal realities of the police force. The direction is incredible, the character development is compelling and the acting is amazing. The storytelling was excellent, the overarching plots & story arcs as well as episodic conflicts were well paced. This drama truly gives you a new perspective of life.

Writing from Canada and this Korean police drama just ticks all the boxes. I have laughed hysterically and even cried and I rarely cry watching films or TV. This series takes you through every emotion without even realising it until an episode is over just how much it affected you. The acting is superb as is the directing and filming. Most of the Korean shows I watch from Netflix are hits for me: a few getting a second viewing regardless of how many episodes there are. There is something about the way Koreans approach movie making that is so fantastic and "Live" is another example of it. I will not give out any spoilers but if you are a fan of a great TV series this is one to watch. I really hope there is another season.

PS: I am not Korean...I am Deaf and will watch anything, from any country, as long as it has closed-captioning. :-)
