Blatent copy of the 2006 US drama "The Lost Room"

In 2006 a supernatural drama was released on the SyFy Channel. The concept was about a motel room and some of the everyday items from that room which possess unusual powers. The show's protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Once a typical room at a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, the Lost Room has existed outside of normal time and space since 1961, when what is referred to only as "the Event" took place.
This Kdrama updated this concept to the 21st centaury. However, unlike the original it does not explain anything about the objects verbally, its all visual interpretation. The concept and story line are good with the first 12 of the 32 episodes being engaging and entertaining. However, the female lead cannot be taken seriously, she is a far better actress than she shows here, while the male lead does an adequate job the child actress steals most of the scenes.
The writers then lose control of the plot, completely and utterly confused. Who ever was controlling continuity through the filming should be reprimanded, terrible job. The drama had the potential to be as good as the original, but failed solely down to the confused plot. Each segment is directed and filmed extremely well but if the material is poor there is not much you can do as a director except quit!
Is it worth watching, yes, just to see how the whole thing collapse's into drivel after 25 episodes. And the ending, please this was worse than Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol which infuriated me as being so much of a let down. This ending is just saying the writer had no idea's left and couldn't careless. I pity the actors and actresses and director who had to cope with it
Anything good, the villain of the piece (Kim Kang Woo) puts his heart and soul into being as evil and psychopathic as you can get, which he achieves with a graceful aplomb. In addition, the music fits everything nicely and is let down by the whole shows collapse.
Best idea for anybody watching this show is to go and watch the original and see how it should be done.
