O Abismo Mágico (2019)

The Truth About This Show!

There was so much negative that i almost skip this show but i started watching and it was actually really fun all the way through. It was for sure predictable as a veteran k-drama watcher but in general i was never really bored and wanted to see all of it. Like always ignore all the comments and watch for yourself!.

I usually don't write reviews as much but i felt like for this show i had too because these days people set the expectation bar so high and can't really enjoy anything anymore.

A Solid story with joyfull and bad moments.They could've had maybe explained the abyss and the whole alien faction behind it a little bit better but in the end i finished the show with a smile and no regrets.

pretend its a parody if you must

the only way that this show is entertaining and enjoyable is to look at it as a parody show of murder mystery dramas.

as soon as you start watching episode two (because episode one is pretty strong i suppose) you realize the quality of the show you are starting. the writing is pretty weak as in not only the story but also the script for the characters. if you watch it as a parody of the genre it is lot more enjoyable because its not well done, its easier to pretend its done on purpose than believe something actually fails this bad.

anyway, it does lean on the main leads a LOT to carry this show. i did enjoy seeing them on screen together I will say. i loved min a lot best character here.

Abyss

Well.......storyline was good, it was cute and there was mystery and sad scenes. Park Bo Young, Han So Hee and Kwon Soo Hyun were amazing. There is no way to not cry when PBY is crying and her scene during funeral is one of the best in this drama. I love Seo In Guk's cameo, it was even better cause I love PBY&SIG as a duo so having them in one drama, even without playing scenes together for me was perfect.
But I do not know if it is character's fault or script's but Ahn Hyo Seop in this drama did nothing for me. Do not get me wrong I do not say he is bad actor but I did not felt any chemistry between him and PBY - maybe because of age? So when the rest of the cast was 10/10, his character was 5/10 which of course lead to worse rating of this drama, still 7/10 is pretty high rating.
It is hard to say if I recommend this or not, you just need to check it out yourself and decide.

Under-rated show of how de leads triumphed over de hurdles on deir way

The plot for Abyss on de surface is so interesting. We have 2 characters dat are now in different bodies & trying 2 solve a murder, wid de help of a mysterious alien object (given by great and funny cameo appearances of Seo In Guk & Jung So Min ♥). For the side characters, Hee Jin (Han So Hee) started off interesting, but her character became shoved to the background near the end. Detective Park (Lee Shi Eon) was the true MVP. He was part of the comedic relief initially, but he was so much more and was a very stable part of the group.

Great chemistry - a good script -nice whole ending- fine production....

//VERDICT // Abyss was an enjoyable watch. I liked dat de fantasy elements were solidly woven in2 de narrative throughout de drama, de mystery was good & de romance was cute. De bad guys got de punishment dey deserved & the characters got their closure they are due .All in all, it held my interest and made for a solid watch.

Had Potential But Too Many Convenient Coincidences

This had potential to be a really good and different type of kdrama. Sci-fi, romance, and mystery could've really worked together if there weren't too many convenient chances of characters just meeting up or things happening out of nowhere and without proper explanations/reasoning.

There isn't much explanation of why the "aliens" left that device to ML at least not in the first 3 episodes . Don't they have rules in their own world? What if someone asks for their device when they get home? And why does the device works for other people too when it was originally given to the ML. I know I'm reaching out here but the writers should know that you can't just introduce sci-fi stuff without any proper explanations.

Too many convenient coincidences for the killer took me out of this story. The story idea is good, romance part is also good but these coincidences and plot armors were too much for me to keep watching it.

I thought this was a good drama, I mean I think I did get a little confused since they both end up being different characters, but after a while, you remember who is who! - It wasn't the biggest of mystery dramas though if I remember it!

I think anything with Park Bo-young is something I do enjoy, she is a really good actor, even being petite with such a tall guy like Ahn Hyo-Seop, still thought they looked really good together! - I guess I did enjoy it near the end as you do in romance dramas, but I did remember getting confused with the story a little, and some of the characters!

But other than that I did enjoy watching it!

A HOT MESS WITH TOXIC MESSAGE!!!

I wasted 16 hours of my life, and sadly there's no Abyss that can give it back to me.

What on Earth was this? I mean, I only watched this till the end, because I love Park Boyoung, but no wonder the writer didn't get any job after this mess. Without joking, this show had more plot holes than episodes.

I don't want to get into details, because writing a real review about this would take more time than what the writer spent on it.

The most important thing: THERE'S NO MEANING IN THIS DRAMA! The only message is that you can spend 20 YEARS with your so called "friend" who you called UGLY many times, but when he comes back as a HOT GUY, you forget who he was, and somehow you think you always loved him.

The BIGGEST BULLSHIT I've EVER seen!

Boyoung, Hyo Seop and the rest of the cast did everything they could, but this is just GARBAGE!

Without Boyoung, I would've dropped it after episode 3 or 4.

If you don't want to waste your time: DON'T WATCH IT! Only if you're crazy like me who want to watch everything from your favorite actors.?

lebih cocok untuk yang suka tema fantasi

Kisah hukum sebagai latar belakang cerita sudah sering aku dapatkan dalam drama-drama korea, dan lagi-lagi aku bisa dibilang hampir bosan. Yang bikin aku bertahan menonton drama ini hingga akhir karena cerita hukumnya tidak terlalu dominan. Yang dominan lebih ke analisis Soo Young yang lucu tapi cerdas mengenai teka-teki dalam drama ini. Bagaimana ia yang adalah seorang jaksa harus terpaksa menjadi pengacara, dan ini juga mengingatkan aku sama drama Suspicious Partner yang bercerita mengenai pindahnya profesi karena keterpaksaan. Walaupun tidak mengalihkan perhatian dari kunci utama yaitu kisah cinta antara dua tokoh utama.

Good for filler

If you are looking for something fluffy but also a little strange, do I have the drama for you!

Story
The story line is semi interesting. I particularly the little jokes about Cha Min coming back to life in a more 'handsome' body BUT I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that Se Yun comes back in an 'average' looking body. Bo Young, girl, don't let these men write you like that! Anyways, the story was interesting enough. I did enjoy the ending but wished there was more of an explanation about his return. It was just 'oh his back' one day.

Acting/Cast
This is a well stacked group of actors. As I've said in previous reviews, I will not fault an actor for taking a job. They are merely able to control so much about the story and character. None of the characters sat badly with me but aside from the leads, everyone else was not that memorable.

Music
Also, no memorable.

Rewatch Value
I'd be willing to give this a rewatch down the line. A good refresher or gap filler in between other dramas.

MY ENTRY TO KDRAMAS

Year is 2018, i had never watched a korean thing before. on second thoughts i did watch one movie which was a big hit train to busan. my stupid self didnt even know who Gong Yoo was at that time. So while waiting for 2nd season of stranger things i stumbled upon this show called abyss. dont know who Park Bo Young and Ahn Yo Seop is at that time. plot seemed intersting and it was only the first two episodes that were available and i didnt even know that kdrama dont release all of it at once. so i start watching and even though visuals were great i didnt like the first two episodes. i forget about it after that but in the back of my mind i fell love with korea and i didnt even know at that time. eventually after year or so i watched whats wrong with my secretory because it was way to popular and thats it, it was how i fell in love with korean dramas. i did finish this drama way later but this was the first drama i watched. so far i have watched over 200 now in the span of all these years.

The story for this drama had a lot of potential to be a very good show. However I feel that the majority of the show fell short of that. The first few episodes are just okay, it does get better towards the middle of the show and start to show more of it's potential for being good, but it isn't until around episode 12 that it really drew me in. The whole story surrounds the abyss (a magical orb that has the power to bring people back from the dead) yet the abyss is only partly talked about and is mainly left out of the story. I know they were focusing on the rest of the actual story, but it would have been nice to give more of a background or story to this key object in the story line. I mean after all the show is named Abyss. Despite this though, the show is good, the crime, romance, and drama throughout is fun to watch and has a decent story. Episodes 12 - 16 are the best part of it.
