Gripping, Visceral and Disturbing
This is one of the best dramas I've ever seen in that it truly accomplishes what it set out to do. It's disturbing, thought-provoking, incredibly intense and the most gripping drama I've probably ever seen. There are plenty of other shows I've seen where I'm invested in the characters and want to make sure nothing happens to them, but there are none where I've felt the level of visceral fear for the lead as I did in this show. Sometimes it was so painful or engrossing that it was almost painful.This drama is dark and scary so it may not be for everyone, but it is an excellent drama. Highly recommend.

Different
In my opinion, this was very interesting and captivating. It attracts you as soon as an episode ends which is why I kept going even though it's like 4 am in the morning...and I have an online class the next day.I kept seeing this drama online but I'm scared to watch it as I'm more into a romantic comedy or romantic thriller and this drama is mostly a psychological thriller. I also decided to watch it to take a break from all my romance dramas. I also decided to watch it as it sorta related to my courses right now, which include psychology and law enforcement. It was interesting to know as a student who wants to pursue being a police officer, I took notes on critical thinking, fairness, equality, and equity. Some of the scenes boiled my brain as the antagonist was annoying af. But, amazing at the same time as they portray their characters well.
I am also impressed with the main characters acting especially when I heard even before I began watching this drama that 'Seo Yea-ji' got traumatized or fell into depression as she needed to portray her character more in-depth..ig.
Woo-Do hwan though!! my BB!! AHAHH. I first watched him act on 'TEMPTED' with Joy from Red Velvet and his AURA is so unique. The way he can instantly turn into a villain to a shy/awkward person. Not in a criminal way but when he acts or does something secretly ...it was so fine!. His eyes are so pretty and just his existence tbh.
Of course, I can't leave my OK Taecyeon. He did a great job as well but what I love the most was the chemistry between Ok Taecyeon and Woo- Do hwan.
"Stand straight, fool." MY FAVOURITE PHRASE FROM THEM!
I wish I can have their friendship in real life haha. Especially fighting skills.
But anyway, this was an interesting drama to watch, the ending was not so bad but for me, the only problem why I do not watch a lot of thrillers with romances is because. Thrillers are mostly 1 conflict and then a conclsion. While romance and thrillers are like a rollercoaster. But I love both. I am thankful I watched this drama and also learned some lessons about life and hope.
So, thank you.

A MUST WATCH !!!
Synopsis:Sangmi and her family move from Seoul to a small town. During their time here tragedy strikes their family. Sangmi’s mother becomes mentally ill due to this. Her father loses all hope and turns to a local religious organization for help. Slowly her parents get sucked in to a religious cult. Three years pass and her friends from high school (Sanghwan and Dongchul) unite together with others to help Sangmi and her family escape as well as expose the cult of their other dark secrets.
Review:
*100000/10* Out of the 60+ dramas I’ve watched so far this is hands down by far the best one yet. It’s quite a dark drama that deals with heavy topics like sex*al ab*se, s*icide, and violence. It’s not a typical kdrama in that it doesn’t have a romance subplot. However, I can guarantee you that this drama will keep you on edge till the last episode. From other reviews I’ve heard that the first half was pretty slow. Personally I didn’t feel this. But it definitely picks up in the 2nd half. The cast is impeccable. Everyone has amazing chemistry. And I quickly became a fan of Woo DoHwan’s and Seo Yeji’s acting. Wish there was a romance between the two. But, I like how they kept it more focused on the cult. Overall it’s a great drama that I recommend to all.
TLDR:
About a girl who’s family gets sucked in to a religious cult. Her and her friends help her escape the cult as well as reveal the other sinister secrets it hides. Rating: 1000/10 great cast only downside u might not like is the lack of a romance. The main guys are shown showing interest in her but after the time skip she only has feelings of desperation to get out of the cult rather than romance. But u can definitely feel some tension between the characters bc of romance

I want Woo Do Hwan to beat me up like he kicked butt in this drama
Story: This concept felt very refreshing, since I don't think there are any other dramas that revolve around quite as much as this one (the only other one I can think of it Memorist maybe?). The writing was great and I never knew what was going to happen next. No cliches and I really liked that. Also very much enjoyed that this did not have a romance. There was way too much to focus on already. It would have just detracted from the story.Acting/Cast: 10/10 across the board. I lovvvve Woo Do Hwan and Seo Ye Ji. Also, Jang Yoo Sang is dramaland's eternal brother. Go Joon as a freaking gangster! Freaking fantastic. Just so good I can't handle it.
Music: No OSTs in particular stood out, but nothing detracted either
Rewatch Value: High! Just for the fight scenes alone. Hardcore Parkour.
TLDR; fresh concept, great writing and acting, might make you lose your faith in humanity.

It's good
I normally watch crime/ thriller/mystery dramas and I finished this one within a week. It's pretty good, and many of the characters made me mad LOL. But that's good because the acting is pretty good. Wouldn't recommend watching if you're sensitive. This drama made me very frustrated because Sang Mi was misunderstood and claimed as crazy. I like how the drama portrayed the cult and the people affected by the cult. Super weird. It may be a little confusing in the beginning but gets better at the end. Overall, this drama was a ride and I enjoyed it!TW: suicide (in the drama, not my review)

"Save Me" is one of those dramas that makes you take a step back and take in what you see. It left room for afterthought and gave more room for discussion which is not something that you find regularly. Everything from the cast to the OST captured what the writing was trying to accomplish. Seo Ye ji and Woo Do Hwan are the ones who carried the drama in terms of emotional range. They demonstrated everything of what the scene needed to display. The thing however, that I enjoyed most was the use of the side characters and how this was not just mainly focused on the story of the cult but also about political corruption. I also loved how they were used for more than just comedic relief but also served a purpose to move the plot.
The only complaint I had with the plot was that the reason for the homeless people dying was never really shown and seemed like an unnecessary plot device to make the cult look worse (not that it needed any help in doing that).
I also enjoyed that they did not use romance in any portion of the show, because if we are being honest it would have been to much if they added that to the plot. So instead they left that for after the drama with an open ending on that effect.
Would I recommend this drama?
Yes, but I do issue a warning that it is darker and does have a few trigger warning topics such as suicide and sexual assault.

good drama but i didn't want to rewatch it again T_T
Save me is a very suspenseful and frustrating drama. I distinctly remember seeing how Seo Yeaji was completely neglected by her parents who went crazy because of a cult.I was so immersed in this drama that I didn't want to rewatch it again because I remembered the feeling of watching it. But it's actually a good drama and very interesting too.
How Female lead struggled so much to get out of the cult's circle was frustrating. Many felt the same way after watching this drama.
The acting was also good with a very complicated role, they all made a good performance, their expressions even made me laugh.

It's an okay drama..
LIKEScenes that stood out and at the back of my mind:
When Eun Shil saw Sang Mi's situation and Eun Shil's reaction to that - annoyed me
The pathetic Joo Ho who totally got possessed and his behaviour - I wanted to fly kick him
DISLIKE
Started all good but got draggy in the middle
Though went back right on track, drama was not thrilling enough
MUSIC - personal fav
Hallucination - The Vane
REWATCH VALUE
It doesn't matter if I re-watch or not

¿Uno de los mejores thrillers de kdramas? Probablemente
Cuatro jóvenes intentan rescatar a una excompañera cuya familia cayó en las garras de un culto y su líder carismático.Con esa breve premisa les prometo horas de desesperación, de frustración y tensión. La forma en que todo el tiempo la protagonista parece estar a punto de escapar, pero siempre está latente la sensación de que algo se lo impedirá, sumado a la actitud y trato de los miembros del culto para con ella, son una sumatoria de cosas por las que de hecho es excelente el manejo del suspenso en esta historia.
Las actuaciones en general son excelentes, sobre todo Seo Ye-Ji, quien interpreta una protagonista femenina muy buena y que se sale bastante de lo que uno acostumbra a encontrar en kdramas. Por otro lado, si bien esta serie no tiene romance (la prota no tiene tiempo de pensar en amor cuando vive temiendo por su vida y familia) Taecyeon, que interpreta al first lead, si bien el actor me cae súper bien, en esta serie es insoportable, y claramente es por el personaje . No sé si esa era la intención del guionista, pero considerando que es el protagonista masculino, no le ayuda en nada. Sobre todo no le ayuda a este personaje cuando a su lado tenemos al co-protagonista y second lead, interpretado por el maravilloso Woo Do Hwan, la cosa más bella que ha creado Corea , cuya actuación también es fantástica. Ni hablar de Jo Sung Ha, quien interpreta al padre espiritual; es un excelente antagonista. Podría seguir con otros actores, pero reitero que todos son buenísimos.
La fotografía no es nada especial pero me encanta la paleta de colores: fría en todo momento, cargada de azules y grises, acompañados de una iluminación pálida que acompaña perfecto. El único problema con esta serie es que al ser de OCN, quienes censuran todas las armas blancas y sangre, el blurring continuo de cualquier cosa violenta te saca mucho de onda, te recuerda que estás viendo una serie. Igualmente, "Save me" me parece tremenda serie y la recomiendo a cualquier fan de los thrillers.

overrated
So I decided to check this show out because the hype was INSANE. Allegedly this show has SHOCKING plot twists and an addictive storyline but none of that was anywhere to be found. I was intrigued at the beginning and wondered where the story would take me but I definitely did not like where it took me. First of all it's just BORING. Like nothing about this was entertaining and everytime something interesting would happen it was presented in such a boring way that I couldn't care less what was happening. The characters' motivations where so confusing that I couldn't even root for anyone. The acting was either over the top or they barely reacted to the events taking place. Overall just a very odd show and definitely wouldn't rewatch it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Save me es una historia bastante fuerte que puede poner de los nervios a muchísimas personas, sobre todo durante los primeros cuatro capítulos, que literalmente no te dan ni un respiro. Toda la serie está rodeada por un aura bastante pesada de desesperación y frustración, por lo que es imposible no sufrir viendo las situaciones que vive nuestra protagonista (esto se incremente al tener una trama tan bien desarrollada. Todo es súper creíble y eso lo vuelve más aterrador).
Realmente no hay palabras para describir lo contenta que quedé con el avance de los hechos. A los personajes nada se les da fácil, todo les cuesta un montón, al punto de querer gritar "¿No les puede salir una cosa bien, por favor?!!!".
Pasando a otra cosa, los actores (y los personajes) me encantaron. Seo Yi Ji (Diosa), Woo Do Hwan, Jo Jae-yoon, Jung Hae-kyun... Todos una maravilla. De hecho, puede que el que menos me convenciera fuera Ok Taec-yeon, el "cabecilla" del grupo que intenta rescatar a la prota, pero sigue estando muy bien.
En fin, la verdad es que no les quiero decir mucho más para no arruinarles la historia (que tiene unos momentos bastante impredecibles), pero sepan que les súper recomiendo esta serie.
Es verdad que por el medio tiene algunos capítulos que se vuelven un poco "largos", pero no aburre nunca, y el final es tan bueno que vale la pena remarla un poco si se les llegara a hacer densa (cosa que por suerte no me pasó).
Si quieren ver algo con una trama bien llevada, personajes únicos, momentos turbios, mucha acción y un buen cierre, esta es su serie.
