Let me explain

It's a very nihilistic drama about a neighbourhood as the end of the world approaches and, bad things start to happen. It is generally about human follies, there are few philosophical ideas but, none of coherent enough to leave an impact upon viewer. And, when this 12 hour long drama ends there is no closure.

This whole human follie drama could have been saved in the editing room by cutting at least 4 hours of stuffs. This series is just menander around from one point to another without reaching to the point. Simply, it’s all over the place.

I get it that they are trying explore if worlds get destroyed within 200 days what will happen to the normal people of a simple small town, how they will spent this 200 days with lack of food, faith, corruption, crime, how do they protect their neighbourhood and, most importantly how can they protect the children. As I said it’s a very nihilistic drama without any closure.

However, this drama does not deserve 12 hour long duration time. Like the main story of this drama begins at 6 episode which is baffling, how the editor and the director ignore such a big problem. Furthermore, none of the characters have any important goal that could engage the viewer, most of the characters are passive. Like the character of YAI is pointless, he just sits around and, follow the female lead. Nothing really happens in this drama, what we see in episode one to four, it’s just repeats itself in rest of the episode. And, no it didn’t happen because, YAI part was cut out, I think they really did not cut his scenes, they just wanted calm the viewer so, they can release it without any further controversy

What I learned watching this series is that not every story need to be retold using visual medium. I really don't understands how this series got green lit or how the actors signed it because, the writing is bloated with repeated things. I really wanted to like the show. I actually liked 60-70% of the series, I also liked the supporting characters too but, the problem is this there is no set up or pay off at the end, it begins and then it just ends. I am jealous of whom ever loved this series I wish I loved it too.

The better the villain bigger the hero

I enjoyed it very much. The first six-eight episodes were nerve-racking, the FL were in such a vulnerable state that I was worried for her, I wanted her be safe and, win this battle.

The two villain really stole the show. Specially, Song ha yoon really deserve all the awards, she is terrific and, terrifying in the drama. If she does not get best supporting actress award then, it would be such a shame.

Lastly, Park min young done a great job as the lead, I think this was her best performance after a long time. She portrayed the vulnerability and, how the character gets strong slowly, she really put heart and soul in this character.

The drama is also very engaging from start to finish. Recommended.
