The Thrilling Trio

Being in a Thriller slump for quite some time, I came across the title “Midnight Thriller” and my curiosity was alarmed. Without even reading the synopsis, I dived in and “Midnight Thriller” ended up to be a surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable watching experience.

“Midnight Thriller” consists of 3 episodes and it’s an anthology of 3 stories. Each story has its strong and weak points and some aspects are done better in one story than another. Overall, all the stories left a good impression on me.

Surprisingly, the production in total is quite meticulous and technically sound, giving the drama quality and at the same time, artistic tones. The only thing lacking is the music which is like the music you hear in an Escape Room with a horror theme or a Haunted House. Despite that, the music still fitted with the drama’s tone perfectly.



~~~First story : Friendly Police~~~

Friendly Police is a psychological, mystery thriller story. It was the creepiest and the “weirdest” of the three. The plot is quite predictable, or it isn’t? If you watch it, you’ll decide yourselves and that’s what makes Friendly Police a very unique story. The biggest disadvantage is that the story is very slow paced and it can be tedious. Still, the pace might not affect you so much.

The Acting

The acting was superb, the best of the three stories. The main leads are portraited by Kim Yoon Hye and Jung Jin Won and their chemistry was insane. I have watched KYH in other dramas (Vincenzo, Sh**ting Stars) and yet, her performance in Friendly Police is her best. It was my first time watching JJW and I was amazed, this actor really has some skills.



~~~ Second story : Follower~~~

Follower is a crime, mystery thriller and my favorite story of the drama. As a crime thriller, it gave me strong Agatha Christie vibes. The plot is very well written and executed so as a result, the story has good coherence, pacing so you won’t feel bored at all. The story isn’t predictable but if you are observant, you might suspect what is going on. All in all, this story was very enjoyable to watch and I’d gladly watch it again.

The Acting

The main lead of the story is Cha Ye Run alongside Jo Han Sun and Kim Jung Hwa. CYR was the reason I discovered “Midnight Thriller” as I was searching her filmography. In Follower, she was quite captivating and she delivered her emotions successfully. I think she is a brilliant actress and I’ll keep searching her filmography and hope I will see her in another good drama soon. JHS and KJH did a pretty good job too.



~~~ Third Story : Supermodel~~~

Supermodel is the most suspenseful story of the three and also, the one with the most aesthetic cinematography and directing. The plot is quite interesting and manages to keep you attention till the end as a result of its good pace and structure. The story is far from predictable as you can’t see the ending coming. Honestly, I was quite shocked with the ending.

The Acting

I have to say that I wasn’t as impressed as with the acting of the two previous stories, mainly because of the acting of the supporting characters. The main lead of the story, Lee Shi Ah is, in my opinion, a good actress. Her interpretation in Supermodel was decent and that’s why the third story had in the end a good outcome.



~~~Conclusion~~~

I’m very happy I discovered “Midnight Thriller”. Each of its stories had something to offer me and impressed me in its own way. Even though they weren’t perfect, I was completely satisfied with what I watched and I’m craving for more thrillers now. It’s really a shame that “Midnight Thriller” is undiscovered by many. If you are a thriller lover and want to watch light mini-drama, then “Midnight Thrillers” should be on your radar.
