This was a disappointment. I feel the biggest problem (among many) with this show was if you’re going to go all out with a CGI monster drama, it should be a fun, character-driven genre drama centered around these monsters. The great trailers made it appear this way and and we were expecting a lot after the best shows of the year, Squid Game and DP. But it turned out to be a serious philosophical story, and a very boring one at that, with no substance or characterization at all, and the monsters were hardly in the picture. There was also lots of unnecessary disturbing violence and torture.

I feel like even Yoo Ah In intentionally jumped ship on this one (you’ll know what I mean). Give the first episode a try and you’ll be able to know if it’s your kind of thing or not because it doesn’t get any better.
