Alice, the Final Weapon (2022)

Un survival à la fois délirant et sanglant

Survivre face à une organisation criminelle qui n'a qu'un seul but : vous faire taire. Ce sont les grandes lignes d'Alice the Final Weapon, et elles seront suffisantes pour tenir le rythme jusqu'au bout.

Il en ressort de l’humour noir avec une bonne dose d’action et son lot de scènes de combat excellentes. Le sérieux de la situation se confronte à l’absurdité globale. En réalité, l'histoire jongle entre plusieurs styles sans jamais perdre son équilibre.

Les personnages partagent un traumatisme différent, mais c’est ce qui va les rapprocher au fil de l’intrigue. Parfois, ils décident de se raconter des histoires se mettant en scène et laissant leurs doux fantasmes s’exprimer. Ce n’est pas une romance d’adolescents habituelle, ni même une tentative de survie face à une horde de zombies.

Alice, the Final Weapon pourra en dérouter plus d’eux avec son introduction. Pourtant, sous sa couche décalée aux situations incrédules et gores se cache une sacrée dose d’action complètement déchaînée.

Strangely amazing

I really came into this not expecting much. The description sounded enticing, so I decided to try it out. After finishing, I can honestly say I'm quite dumbfounded. It was awesome in its own weird way, and I don't think I've ever watched a show that has made me laugh in confusion and disbelief more than this show has (in a good way).

Liked:
- Great acting by everyone in this show! Especially loved SGH has Yeo Reum, as he played his character very convincingly. Not to say everyone else didn't do an equally great job, it's just that he stood out to me the most with his crazy character.

- Well done action shots and fighting scenes, I was really impressed that it was this good for a miniseries. And the guns weren't blurred! Yay!

- Quirky music that felt out of place, but fit really well given what the drama is going for. It lightened the mood, even in the darkest situations.

- Dark comedy is done really well! I enjoyed that aspect of the show greatly.

- Great intensity in the second half!

- Just the overall quirky vibe mixed with action/thriller was something right up my alley.

Disliked:
- A certain common trope was used, which I didn't really care for. It didn't matter too much, but it was just a little annoying/unnecessary. That's the only really tropey thing in this show though.

- I won't dive into this spoiler, but I was really confused/annoyed by a certain part of the show in the second half. Like I'm not sure what really happened there, but if it didn't happen, things could've ended up drastically different.

- First half definitely pales in comparison to the second half.

As for this show's rewatch value, I'd say it's very rewatchable! It's pretty short, so I'm looking forward to rewatching it later with better quality subs.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this show if you want to watch a great quirky teen action show. I do wish it was longer so that we could find out everyone's backgrounds a little more, but given the length of this show, I'm very satisfied. If you were looking for a more romance-centered show, this may not be the show for you, as romance was definitely not a focus of the drama (the romance is there but it's not your typical lovey-dovey romance drama). Well, that was my first review, so I hope it was helpful for you. Adios!
