“Hellbound” was the best production at the end of this year. Within 24 hours of its release, it topped the Netflix World TV Show category and beat “Squid Game”, which topped the list in eight days. Director Yeon Sang-ho presented the opportunity to think about various human groups by completing a new dystopian world with brilliant ideas. Actors such as Yoo Ah-in, Park Jung-min and Kim Shin-rok‘s good performances increased the immersion.
In “Happiness – Drama”, a new material called ‘madman disease’ appears. It vividly depicts the ongoing fear of overlapping the COVID-19 situation in the New Normal era when infectious diseases have become common. At the same time, it makes viewers think about what true Happiness – Drama is. Jo Woo-jin, Han Hyo-joo and Park Hyung-sik‘s acting synergy also give joy throughout the film.
◆ “MINE”
“MINE”, which drew viewers’ attention by drawing the stories of women visiting the real ‘me’ as the title means ‘my own’, drew favorable reviews from the public and critics at the same time with mysterious events, colorful twists and heavy messages. Among the numerous social prejudices, the process of minorities living tagged to protect what is precious to them was enough to inspire sympathy from many viewers. In particular, the evaluation that it was a timely drama in this era, where discrimination and hatred are prevalent, drew admiration as ‘as expected’, by writer Baek Mi-kyeong“.
◆ “D.P
The work based on the webtoon “D.P” written by Kim Bo-tong, depicts the story of a military arrest group (D.P) that catches deserters. Each episode succeeded in maintaining high completeness and naturally melting social problems to the extent that six episodes were nearly not enough. In addition, the realistic directing of actual military life and the favorable performances of Jung Hae-in, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Cho Hyun-chul, who make it even more brilliant, announced the birth of a true well-made work.
Is there a work that can beat the stronghold of this year’s “Squid Game”? “Squid Game”, which depicts ruthless death survival using traditional Korean games, broke Netflix’s all-time records and was nominated for the Golden Globe TV Award for the first time in non-English-speaking works. It is by far the best work of the year that has swept the power of K content around the world.
TVing’s confident drama “Yumi’s Cells” showed as much completeness as the original, with a high synchro rate and an attraction based on empathy. Kim Go-eun, who plays Yumi, once again proved her acting skills and the cells embodied in the passionate performances of the animation and voice actors also drew favorable reviews.
