Save Me

I'm here, after 5 years that I watched to tell you: you need to watch this drama (but be careful because it's a heavy one).

This was my first drama ever, and in that time I didn't knew what was that and how amazing this universe is and yet I really loved. Once you start, you can't stop until the end wanting to know what happens to the girl and her family in this scandal and how she will get help. In that time, it made me really give me a thought about religions and cults.

The only thing that you cannot try to find here is the romance because the focus is in the whole problem that the cult caused to the family of protagonist.

One of my favourite thriller kdramas. it has a really good plot and discusses important issues. it´s a must watch with one of my favourite actors ( seo yea-ji)

Highly recommend watching this gripping thriller series. It's exciting from start to finish. South Korea has a real cult problem so they have a good reason to make a drama dealing with cults. With what happened in the Shincheonji Church in Daegu and the spread of Coronavirus this show is eerily relevant and prophetic. What is good about this story is how they get behind the characters of the rescuers so you feel for them. Their attempts are very human and believable and very exciting while remaining plausible. There are some pretty exciting fight scenes along the way too. Sometimes it's frustrating how gullible the people are but cults wouldn't exist without such people. Thank goodness there is a complete enough ending. A couple of small faults. There are quite a few characters and couldn't distinguish some secondary ones for a while Also the religious chants and rants were a little tiresome after a while. Some praise for the cast. After It's Okay to Not Be Okay I tuned in to see the memorable actress Seo Ye Ji in an earlier series. Extremely demanding role for the actress and she does a great job in some dramatic scenes. I can see why she got cast in It's Okay after this. Ok Taec Yeon and Woo Do Hwan are good to as the guys who try to rescue her. Feel for their dilemmas. The villains are convincing too without overdoing it.

Save me is a drama about a cult and it is not afraid to present all the horrors that the leads of the cult often did. The description says that a girl asks four men to save her, but that happens later in the drama. First, we are presented with the background story as to why everything happened and why people are now acting like they do. The stories of the characters seem different from one another, but they come together in the end, painting the picture of the story as a whole. The performances, in addition, were really good and helped the drama to create that horror-thriller atmosphere. One thing that I didn't like though was that the ending was kind of open, leaving things half finished. Other than that, I really enjoyed this drama.

It was so interesting to watch specially it delivered a special message of religious cults which is the actual reality of this world. Though it was quite dark but the actors portrayed it really well, South Korea is on top of it comes to making dramas on zombies, religious cults and romence etcc.
