The ending isn't the only problem with this drama

The whole drama is one big problem. This drama is so bad that I decided to write a review for the first time to warn others. Don't waste your time. There are much better dramas worth watching.

Why do I think drama is so hopeless?

It's mostly about the plot. Or rather, the lack of it. What's the point of this story anyway? There isn't any. Really. Normally, every story has a beginning, a middle part and an ending. It reaches some conclusion.The story started out interesting . DAS wasn't as good as other zombie/monster dramas, but it was still interesting. Aliens invasion was quite original idea. And that's it. The further you go, the more nonsense the story becomes.

Part 2 begins by showing the students eliminating the aliens. It's promising. We know it's been a while since the incident when Sergeant Lee was killed. It seems that the children have matured and learned to take care of their own safety. You could not be more wrong. From this moment the story starts to get idiotic and full of plot holes.

First of all, why are the children alone? What happened to Kim Won Bin? Did he leave the children alone? Did he evacuate without them? Why do children talk about everyone who died and not him? He seems to have survived, so why did the writers suddenly forget about him?

As I wrote above, at the beginning of part 2 we see that the children have grown up. And suddenly... They start acting irrationally and getting hysterical again. All character development suddenly disappears. The other scenes don't make sense either. Why was the prison scene included in the series? The kids needed parts for a radio, so shouldn't they look for an electronics store in a deserted city? And how is it possible that the prisoners survived? We know that it's been at least a month since Sergeant Lee's accident by the time part 2 starts, and the town has already been abandoned. Did these prisoners live for more than a month without food, water and other necessities? And they were in such great condition? Seriously? Where is the logic?!

Another thing are the spheres. Where did the spheres come from? What did they want? What was their purpose? In the first part, it seemed that people were learning more and more about aliens, e.g. that they were sensitive to cold and noise, and that they could communicate. And in the second part? Aliens are mindless. They run to the prison because the children screamed a few times, but they didn't show up at the amusement park, where children make noise, So I am asking again where is the logic? At the end, we also learn that a weapon was invented, thanks to which the aliens were eliminated, but the spheres were still in the air. Why?

As for the ending, In my opinion it was stupid. But the stupidest thing was that nothing foreshadowed it. The writers didn't show us that Guk Yeong Soo is slowly going crazy, he just suddenly went crazy because his exam was canceled. Seriously?! PTSD would be much more convincing.

All in all, I do not recommend wasting your time watching this drama. The writers made this story as if they didn't respect the viewers. The series was very hyped, so they wrote anything, after all, the viewers would not notice.

It startet out great and...

This review contains a few spoilers.

After watching the first episodes, I was delighted with this drama. I thought I had finally found something interesting and suspenseful until the very end. I couldn't be more wrong. About halfway through the drama, something started to go wrong, and it only got worse from there.

But let's start from the beginning. The main character is framed for being a wanted con man, is detained by the police and ends up in prison, where he awaits the start of his trial. At first, the main character cannot find himself in a new situation, but later he starts fighting for survival. He tries to find out who framed him, and who Big Mouse really is. At this stage, the story is incredibly engaging, and the viewer follows the development with bated breath.

And suddenly... bam!

We are entering a road full of plot holes and we have the impression that the writers wanted to create something original by force, but they ran out of ideas. As a result, instead of a great drama, it turned out to be average at best.

What did I dislike the most?

First, in the first half of the drama, we see the development of the main character. He is no longer a naive young man who is guided by ideals. He begins to understand that in order to survive in the brutal world he finds himself in, he must be smart and stay one step ahead of his opponents. We also see his enemies starting to lose so they get nervous. The fight begins to be balanced, and at times we have the impression that the scales of victory are tipping in favor of our hero.

At the end, it turns out that the whole fight is for nothing and our hero loses, so he finally kills his rival.

I also didn't like the story of the main character's wife. I don't like unhappy endings in this type of drama, so I hate that the writers decided to kill her off. Besides, she was a nurse, she had medical knowledge, I don't understand why she didn't do anything to save herself, or at least try to save herself when she knew that she had been in contact with radioactive water.

Not to mention the many smaller plot holes. Like what happened to the main villain's son in the end? What exactly did the mysterious laboratory do? Why hasn't the true story of the prisoner framed for the serial murders been revealed? Many people write that the ending was unnecessarily rushed. I agree, some threads needed clarification.

All in all, not a drama I would recommend to a friend. On the contrary, I'd say he or she can skip watching this one. And that's what I'm telling you.

Of course, everyone is free to have his or her own opinion but for me it's a miss.
