Ransom (2022)

gave me video game vibes

I was just looking for something new to watch when I stumbled upon this series. I got curious because the plot literally made me say 'what' because it is confusing.

The story was actually nice. It may make you question things especially how fast the progress is and the camera setting. The actors are really good and my favorite is Chang Ryul. His character might come out crazy but he is just desperate to save his father and to get the kidney lol.

They made the ending looked like there is a possibility of season 2 so I am looking out for that. Overall a nice series to watch. 6 eps of about 35 mins each

Story of Highs and Lows

This is a tough one to grade. There are many things I like about this: morally dark characters, violence, one-take camera shots, no simple solutions—just a progression of things getting worse, and mysterious happenings that the characters or audience are unaware of. What holds me back from a full recommendation is the characterization. The characters are left ambiguous, with most of what they tell each other being lies, so there's no real sense of character, making it hard to get emotionally attached. The writing is also not the best; most of the dialogue feels stilted and not how people would naturally talk to each other—it's just a bunch of yelling and swearing over each other with no proper conversations ever being had. The plot armor for certain characters became laughable, as multiple characters should have died over and over and still made it to the end. At the end of the day, the highs were able to outweigh the lows, and I would watch the second season that has been announced, but it's not something I'm eagerly anticipating
