I think I’m the only person among my K-drama loving friends who hates the violent and gory stories that are so popular now. What I wouldn’t give for a show like Isis or Healer that has lots of action without zombies, demons, or gratuitous gore.
I know of a lot of people who will skip over the gorier dramas for the exact same reasons as you. There is an image that some have (not you!) that Korean shows are all about about romance and meet-cute scenarios, which is why some people erroneously categorize them as "soap operas." But this is the country that gave us that masterpiece OLDBOY (which I know is a film and no"t a drama). What I really appreciate is that Korea is creating entertainment that is so diverse. There is literally something for everyone. (And HEALER is one of my all-time favorite series from any country!)
GyeongSeong Creature got better and better with each episode. I'm a sucker for K-dramas set during the Japanese occuption. Park Seo Joon is one of my favorite actors, and he delivered big time. His subtle comedy and chemistry with Han So Hee was great (loved her in My Name too). I did not expect that ending at all. I can't wait to see what comes next!
I really enjoyed the entire cast. Besides the leads (Han So-hee in another terrific role!), Jo Han-chul, Kim Hae-sook and Wi Ha-joon were all terrific in their roles. And I appreciated that there was an element of surprise in the show. But the feedback I'm getting via DMs and comments on my social media posts is that a lot of people are iffy on this series.
