It took me quite a while to convince myself to start watching this drama, but seeing Woo Do Hwan in Mad Dog had me dying to see more of him, which is why I ultimately started watching the series. Now, this kinda drama is not to my liking, and I thought I'd end up dropping it within 2 episodes since I'm more into romantic dramas, and Save Me apparently had no kiss scenes, but I found myself hooked to this series by the first episode. A lot of people said they had to force themselves to keep watching, but no, I was so consumed by curiosity (and Woo Do Hwan) that I finished watching this in 2 days. Considering that I've been dropping other dramas left and right after about 10 episodes, Save Me definitely impressed me and had my attention all throughout the 16 episodes.

ACTING: OKAY. APPLAUSE FOR THE CAST. I hated and loved all of them with a passion. "Spiritual Father" and "Apostle Jo" are officially my most hated K-drama characters, which just means their acting was a 10/10. I especially loved that Sang Mi wasn't too brave but not too weak either...she was just a perfect female lead, her acting was so good, that I was dying to slap all the people for her, and damn, she is so beautiful. I didn't notice her queen like visuals in Moorim School, but she definitely caught my eye (and my heart) here. Moving on to Taecyeon, I feel like somehow his "main role" wasn't justified as there just wasn't much depth or importance for his character. As always, his acting was great, but I feel like the writer could have done much more for his role.  Aaaaand, WOO DO HWAN. I might just have a major crush on this guy, and his acting just makes me love him even more. Just my opinion, but Woo Do Hwan actually felt like the male lead in the drama, cause really speaking, it's all because of his character that they were able to save her as he did most of the work, and practically sacrificed his family in order to save her.  I really feel he deserved a little recognition for his efforts in the end.

Overall, I recommend this drama to everyone. If you're hesitant like I was, JUST JUMP IN. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

NOTE: I'm a christian too, and I agree that such false people are using religion to benefit themselves and are leading people into an actual hell-hole. I'm thankful I've never had to meet such people, and that all of the churches we attend are amazing, but the drama brought up the issue of false pastors and churches really well.
Also, that church looked so damn satanic. It gave me the creeps.
