Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

phoenix 2 Black makes use of many genres. Fantasy, with the popular for 2017 grim repear theme, crime, another 2017 popular theme for the k drama, romance, dark, mystery and comedy. The story itself is interesting and the atmosphere is good enough to create that dark twisted feeling. However, there were some things that just didn't work for me. First, the humour was so so and kind of odd in this story. Secondly, the ending. Actually, this one ruined the whole series for me. It was kind of cheesy and not well made at all. So, 6 out of 10.

Lynne A Phillips Mt wife and I watched the first two episodes. We had a lot of trouble making sense of various plot elements. We kept waiting for things to be clarified, but they never were. This is one of the worst series we have ever watched. Don't waste your time.

fabianamor It's hard to say why I like it so much. It has much of a soap opera drama and it's bizarre sometimes and sticky in others, funny, very romantic and addicting. If you have already been to Korea you will love it more. The characters are so well defined and the performances are truly great. Thanks to the writer and all the staff. I cannot stop thinking about the delicate end.

RockyMtnVideo I almost bailed on this, due to impressions from the first episode. Some of that has been alluded to by at least one other reviewer. One set of characters (no spoilers here) are a squad of police detectives who are somewhat inept, but in the first episode, that is a bit overdone, coming off a bit too much like "slapstick comedy, gone very, very wrong". It just seemed a bit too childish. But, based upon the IMDB reviews, and score, I went ahead and watched the next episode, which led to me quickly being addicted. There are just a continuous set of "hooks" (revelations) that keep you wondering what is going to happen next, and those are all part of a larger story that is woven together, revelation by revelation.Although there are a handful of core characters, this is one of those stories where you have to pay close attention, as the underlying story is a much larger canvas than is obvious up front, and as more details are revealed, and events from different timeframes are woven into the story, there are a lot of "things" to keep track of (both people and events). Certainly, it works better, IMHO, to be able to watch the series in a shorter timeframe (e.g. binge-watching it in chunks), just because it has so much going on.It is the fact that most of the ongoing revelations are not so much "adding pieces to the puzzle", as they are "turning the puzzle on its head", that makes it so interesting. Those regular "twists" are also not unrealistic, i.e. (IMHO) they aren't just ridiculous, unlikely plot devices. There are often flashbacks that show events as they happen, to further weave those ever-growing plot elements into the larger story. Again, some of those flashbacks involve the same characters, at different ages, so you need to pay attention in order to tie everything together. (Much as with another really great series, Dark, you can't be sitting on the couch, texting on your phone, while you attempt to watch this, or you will quickly find yourself lost.)Anyway, I'm obviously providing no real details about the story, to avoid any spoilers, but suffice it to say that I believe that anyone how watches the first few episodes, will either find themselves as hooked as I was, OR, they will simply decide that it's not a story that interests them at all. Just don't bail out instantly, after the first episode. Its initial tone is simply not representative of the larger story being told. It's a long journey (some of the episodes are long), but well worth the trip.
