Abyss (2019)

Honestly IDK how this got such bad reviews

Abyss was absolutely beautiful and well integrated in my opinion. I hated the implications of beauty the whole thing had. But otherwise the crime, supernatural activity and romance was well integrated. I understand the criticism that there wasn't much explanation about the abyss itself. But IMO since it was just bestowed on Cha Min, they are themselves slowly discovering things about the marble. It was understandable to me that the story ended without too much being revealed about it as it was unnecessary and did not contribute to the story as a whole. I loved the crime aspect of it. The second villain did not have good enough motivations in my opinion. But the first villain was iconic and well written. The series kept my interest high and kept me on the tip of my feet. I wouldn't recommend it to most people. If it seems to be your type from this, then go for it.

How shallow can a drama get?

I'm less than an episode in and I can't. I just can't. Came here, read the reviews and looks like there is no light at the end of the tunnel - or anywhere within the tunnel, for that matter.

How fixated on looks can a Korean drama get? Well, I've gotten my answer - from the first minute of this drama until, presumably, the last. But I won't waste the rest of my time on such a toxic, tired, shallow message that feels like it came from the mind of someone so insecure, image-focused, and delusional that every thought is judged upon looks and consumed by vanity.

It makes me so angry that, of all the wonderful stories to tell in the world, money, time, and effort is put into sh*t like this.

OMG!!! Superficial to the core!

So I ended up painfully making it through the first episode only to completely stop watching episode 2.

The one thing I can't stand is a show basing itself off of someone's looks!!! I felt this bashing all people who aren't up to the handsome or the drop dead gorgeous and beautiful look degrading. Even the synopsis is superficial.

As anyone who has maybe read any of my reviews know is that I immediately stray away from Korean rom-coms because of how superficial and arrogant a character is.

I've watched several Korean dramas with Ahn Se Ha-had to copy and paste cuz I suck at names-and he's a great actor. I felt so bad when I realized they made him out to be short and ugly. How cruel can the writer be?? I don't understand why he took on a role that bashes him cuz of his looks. The main male lead was NOTHING to look at. His mouth looked like botox gone wrong. I'm not saying that to be mean but this guy looked like he had work done on his face. He couldn't even cry right because he couldn't stretch his face to cry.

Here's why I dropped this drama altogether. The second episode picked up the seething factor I had when the first episode ended. The female who was the dead prosecutor who came back to life was angry because the dead guy who came back to life came back handsome and she came back looking like what she looked like. I don't judge females but she was pretty. I hated the attitude the original female prosecutor had. Men lining up just to be with her because of her looks....yeah...I was so done after that.
The story line was all over the place as well. From what I gathered people died and came back with different looks....I don't know the reason behind that but it was enough to make me drop the series.

It's sad because I have dropped around 5 dramas within a month and I have never done that since I've come to watch Korean dramas.
