"Missing 9" was a very random drama and had his dark, dramatic sides and comic ones. I think the comic one should have been erased, ok, without them the drama would have been too dramatic, but people are in the middle of a serious situation... how can they joke around? For me, in episode 9/10 the drama turned bad and here's why:
The drama has two "stories":
Story 1: The one from the present, about Bong Hee recover her memories and finding new survives.
Story 2: The one from the past, when they are lost in the island and try to survive.
Without the story 1 the drama could have been better, like, just a survival drama. Things in the beginning were awesome, and I was hoping that the drama was going to be one of my favourites, but no, in episode 9/10 things got bad. The writer was putting unnecessary things into the story...and making the viewers frustrated. I think 16 episodes is too much, they could have done a good and short drama instead.
I really liked the characters and the acting, I watched Choi Tae Joon in "Suspicious Partner" and then seeing him in a role like this...wow...daebak...I liked the lead girl too (Baek Jin Hee) she was strong, smart and determined. About the lead guy (Jung Kyung Ho), he had some powerful acting, he was the “comic" character and also the "leader". Like I said, the “comic” part could have been erased. Choi Tae Joon played the villain, my favourite character, he was so human. He represented the human being realistically: he was saving himself and doing what he could. This is a real villain!
The end: I like it, and I dislike it, it was too "kind", I can't say too much.
I will rewatch this for sure, but just until episode 8, because the start of the drama is awesome.
