La Créature de Kyŏngsŏng

I was really looking forward to this drama and I was not disappointed.

CGI & Effects, sceneries, sets costumes, etc..in this drama were made with quality.

I usually don't enjoy watching these period dramas about war because it is very depressing and heartbreaking to see the capacity of the brutality and cruelty of men (the japanese really caused havoc and irreparable damage to Korea).

But in this case and although there's a few very real and powerful scenes where emotions take over, thanks to the supernatural elements of the beasts and the very unique and quirky personality of Park Seo Joon's character and his romantic storyline, the darkness is somehow compensated and it works wonders.

It has been a very long time since we watched Park Seo Joon in a drama, and I missed him. I truly enjoy his acting. He has the capability of taking this character ( Jang Tae Sang) and transform, he showed us an infatuated man with all his awkwardness and clumsiness but also a man tired and in agony for what life has put him through, and you can feel all his pain, anger, frustration and then determination to keep fighting to keep surviving hell.

Han Soo Hee was fantastic too, I am used to her kicking ass with her roles and this wasn't less. She had great chemistry with Park Seo Joon and the dramatic scenes were very painful to watch. Truly amazing actress.

Rest of the cast was remarkable and I cant wait to see the second part of this. Specially Wi Ha Joon, which had a small role so far but I am anticipating he will play a much bigger part in the upcoming episodes.

Overall, amazing drama, very entertaining and well made. Go watch it!

Unit 731 of Japanses Troops, Maruta is true DARK history of Japan that in China, Korea and Asia during WWII.

During World War II, the Japanese government kidnapped civilians, led them to sexual slavery, forced labor, and conducted "Maruta"biometric tests.

Maruta means log in Japanese, and the biological experimenters were called Maruta.

Also Flag Rising Sun used with German National's Hakenkreuz.

For that reason, the use of the Rising Sun Flag is a crime in Asian countries.

Unlike the German government, the Japanese government is not unscrupulous and hides this fact, and most Japanese people are likely to be shocked to see the drama.

I started watching this with the expectation of a thriller series about fighting a monster. But what I got is much bigger and meaningful than that. The greater monster in this series is not the said "creature", but the people who created it. This is a story about the oppressed and the oppressor. A story about survival in the darkest time of history. You won't find "Stranger Things" type of monsters in this series, but you will find a story about humanity, with a great cinematography, settings, and quality acting. It might be slow paced at first, but please continue the ride, and you will be mesmerized.

Very enyojable and fun to watch but it didn't quite reach the expectations i set for it. Part 1 absolutely slayed i couldn't wait for part 2, but as much as i liked it, it felt a little dragged, like the contents from part 1 were just repeating themselves and then came the ending, that personally, doesn't make sense to me. The character development scenes felt overshadowed by the constant action scenes. Overall the show is really well made with incredilbe cast. There is potential for season .I recommend it as a watch, i'd just wished there were more laid back moments where we got to see the characters relationships grow.

For now I give it 6 stars, and though I haven't seen all the 7 episodes released so far, I'm not surprised the k-drama fans are out in force as usual to blow smoke up its backside. It's pointless to come here for a balanced review on anything k-drama because everything is "must see" and the "best drama" of the year, whatever the actual quality.

No-one does monsters quite like the Koreans and there's been a glut of shows featuring monsters and zombies in the past few years. Because of this there's some high bars to reach and overcome and there's really nothing here we haven't already seen. There's an uneasy mix of occasional comedy thrown in with the drama which might settle and gel as time goes on but in the early stages comes across as jarring.

I'll update this when I've seen the whole series, but right now I'm just here to say that if it really is as marvellous as all the 10 star reviews, I'll happily eat my hat. Until then I'm reserving judgement, despite being an admirer of the two leads. That's not enough for this to be an automatic masterpiece.
