I LOVE Kdramas; this isn’t one of them.
Firstly a disclaimer: if you go into watching this show expecting a regular Kdrama you’ll be disappointed.
It’s more a brilliant, strange, moody, Netflix sci-fi series that happens to be Korean.
The story follows School Nurse Ahn (Jung Yoo Mi) as she battles ‘jellies’ left behind by humans that no one else can see. She teams up with a bunch of the students as well as the Ancient Chinese teacher Mr Hong (Nan Joo Hyuk).
So even though this one is most definitely not your average Kdrama, I absolutely loooved it! It’s so ...bizarre. Like, crazy-weird.
The jellies are wild creations to watch, the pacing is odd at times and really offbeat, the soundtrack is AWESOME but really moody and dark, and the acting is strange and a little uncomfortable at times but somehow in the best way possible.
But most importantly the story and the characters are really poignant and touching. I laughed and I cried. How did it do that to me with so much strangeness in the air?! Haha.
Jung Yoo Mi is such a phenomenal actress, you can’t help but fall in love with her quirky character. And even though there isn’t a romance tag I think the romance and chemistry between her and Nan Joo Hyuk is so sweet yet strangely complex. It was kinda wonderful watching two awkward characters want to love each other but not know how to be vulnerable and open up in that way.
I also loved that at times I questioned whether what she saw was real or a coping mechanism for life but trusted her intentions completely as she was our hero and I couldn’t help but want her to always succeed.
So I’d say this definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, especially if all you want from Korea is your stock standard (yet absolutely fab) romantic kdramas. But if you like complex and engaging weirdness - give this a try!
