Does it deserve the Oscar awards it got, it is your decision to make
I guess everyone has a different interpretation of the story, despite some people's claims that the movie was boring. In my opinion, three classes—the rich, the poor, and the poorer—were represented in the narrative. The poorer people I am referring to are, without a doubt, the former housekeeper and her husband. Most people would wonder why the father had to kill Mr. Park, but someone once told me that Mr. Park's subconscious sudden admission that he thought Kelvin's father and the former housekeeper's husband were the same because they both smelled bad was the final straw that caused him (Kelvin's father) to kill Mr. Park.The film serves as a metaphor for a number of social problems that exist globally, most notably in South Korea. It focuses on classism and how it relates to capitalism, poverty, social strata, and other issues.
Despite the comedic nature of the film's opening, we are thrust into the spotlight when we discover that the entire family are con artists. We are all perplexed as to why the Parks are so clueless, and unaware of what is happening. However, in reality, when you trust someone, you often naively believe everything they say and do.
The movie then attempts to present itself as a thriller, but it falls short in this regard; in my opinion, it actually presents itself as survival horror mixed with comedy horror.

You will enjoy the movie
OMG!!! This movie is a masterpiece, I have never been a fan of zombie-horror movies, although I watch them. But this Korean movie was an exception.The character development, the love and sacrifice of a parent (from the two fathers), and the relationships between the passengers on the train (both good and bad) all make the movie an overall GOOD movie. I definitely enjoyed the acting, pacing, and texture of the story. At the end of the movie, I realized that the real villains of the story were not the zombies but the humans. The strife between them and the philosophy of individualism, that is, to fight for yourself and sacrifice others in order to survive, is what makes humans the real villains. But this clearly portrays the reality of life, where everyone only cares about themselves and struggles for their own benefit.
If you watch this movie, you are definitely going to cry for at least 30 minutes after the movie. As I am writing this, I am still crying. So if you don't enjoy movies that make you sad, then don't watch this.

Lively and Enjoyable
Evidently, "Mission: Impossible" is the inspiration for this movie. However, the film is quite entertaining; if you want to see something funny and vivacious, this is undoubtedly the movie for you. The story's comedic elements give it its own distinctiveness while still adhering to the plot's basic structure of a spy mission gone wrong. The fight scene at the end was also enjoyable to me because the main male character, who is more of a combat-trained military agent than a detective or investigator, finally got to demonstrate his fighting prowess.However, nothing has happened since there were discussions about producing a second Mission: Possible film. I have not given up on it yet; if it happens, I will be happy to watch it.

Incredible drama unfolded
Additionally, this series satisfied my appetite because I have always been a big fan of gory dramas. The drama's acting is something that needs to be discussed frequently because the characters keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wondering what their next move will be. Additionally, the relationships that were portrayed in the K-drama are noteworthy, particularly the bromance. Initially, when the main character is introduced to us, he is portrayed as a person who, in theory, has no empathy for or attachment to those around him. But as the story goes on, it becomes clear that this is all a façade. Once he becomes attached to you, he will stop at nothing to keep you safe, and even when you betray him, it is difficult for him to beat or destroy you. I discovered that this K-drama is based on a webtoon; even though the source material was not exactly adhered to, some homage was still paid to it. I am going to read the webcomic as a result, so I can confirm for myself that it is brilliant, just as everyone has said.The OSTs that were played really captured the spirit of the drama; I enjoyed them in every episode. This K-drama, which also has psychological overtones, should really be watched by everyone. I never rewatch movies or television shows, but I might make an exception for this series, so that is the only reason I gave it an 8 for rewatch value. I am excited for this Korean drama's second season.

Well, despite not really feeling like I fully embraced this K-drama, I really did enjoy it. I do not watch and enjoy many Korean romance dramas, which is the reason. Surprise, right? But still, I would say I enjoyed it on a minimal level. It definitely had an old-fashioned, romantic K-drama vibe, which I kind of love.The fact that I dislike tricking someone I am dating and that it was glaringly obvious that his girlfriend and his employee are the same person are two major reasons why I may not have enjoyed this drama to the fullest. You cannot tell me that wigs and makeup, especially the kind that was applied to the lead female character, will completely alter someone's appearance. I suppose I really cannot say because it might change in some circumstances. But like I said earlier, it is actually a good K-drama.
Consequently, this is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys Korean romantic comedies.

It is a must watch!!!!
I loved this K-drama, and I learned a lot from it. I don't know why most people are not enjoying season 2 like they enjoyed season 1. Maybe it is because it focused less on the main characters (the revenge team's) backstories and more on the revenge. The series already covered their story in season 1, so they will not have a reason to show it again. Nonetheless, it was still very enjoyable, and the plot twist of a character not being who he truly is made me love it. Although Shin Jae Ha physically did not seem very much like a formidable villain, irrespective of that, he did play his role very well.Also, I want to say that Mr. Kim Do Gi still needs to go to therapy; he might not be able to fully overcome his trauma, but he will be able to manage it. And I think we can all agree that Mr. Kim is superhuman because he is really doing some sh*t that normal humans can't do.
Anyway, kudos to the crew, cast, and everyone who contributed to the success of the series. I am happy I went against everyone's opinion and still went ahead and watched the series.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The show was fantastic, and I believe it did justice to the tale of an autistic lawyer attempting to deal with the realities of daily life. I am hoping there will be a second season so we can learn more about her experiences becoming a full-time Hanbada lawyer and in her love life. I have noticed something: in the series, Woo Young Woo's mother declared that she did not want to become a mother and have the child from the very beginning of her pregnancy. In accordance with the agreement she and Woo's father made, she gave the child away to the child's father after she gave birth and she never looked back (as he would be the only person responsible for the child's upbringing). I believe it was unfair that she was being attacked by everyone for not looking for or caring for Woo Young Woo; she had previously made it clear that she did not want to become a mother.I definitely felt a lot of emotions while watching this K-drama. This drama, in my opinion, says a lot about itself because it inspired me to learn more about the autism spectrum and to discover that there are roughly five types.
