Live

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.

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 had seen this on my Netflix suggestions and ignored it, as I get a bit bored with cop shows in general. Then I saw a video on YouTube by a reviewerI rate, recommending it as an undervalued hit, so I took a look for myself. i'm so very glad I did. Much like "Search WWW", the writers have allowed for the complexity of being a human to show through in the characterisations. No one is simply good or bad (at least of the main focus characters), and everyone is struggling to do the best they can with their individual situations. The acting was consistently strong across the board, and it was a nice commentary about how the public in the media can pile on about something they know very little truth about. It's a salient reminder for us to always consider the wider implications of any situation we find people like the police in. Yes there are police who choose to make very bad decisions. But most of the time, most police are just trying to do their best to look out for the people in their community. It's easy to forget that when all we hear about are the extremes....

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.

I laughed I cried and I cried again, I have watched many a Korean drama thanks to Netflix's so thank you for this drama it's just brilliant. Fingers and toes crossed they do another season PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
