Missing: The Other Side

This is an awesome series in 12 neatly-written and directed episodes.

The number and diversity of characters was unusually large and their development fully fleshed-out. No 2-D characters here. The actors all did a fine job of presentation.

Has the plot been done before. Kind of, kind of not. There are very few totally original concepts these days. I don't judge a movie by concept, but by execution.

That said the one issue I had with the show was the core premise: that the dead could not "move on" because their bodies had not been found. That's a little hard to swallow, even if one believes in an afterlife. That odd premise remained a sore-thumb that for me affected the entire series.

Beyond that, be prepared for repeated tear-jerkers, emotional moments, subtle and enjoyable humor, and an overall well-done series.

It's an amazing concept. Watched the first season on Netflix and waiting for the more seasons to come. I really loved Mr. Jang's character, what a beautiful way to portray for father's endless love and their quest. It's a breath of fresh air when you see most of the K-dramas revolve around some sort of a love story. Although this too has bit n pieces of love story, but that's not all of it, which is the thing to love about this show. Highly recommend it.

There were some characters which did not make any sense at all. They were there for one or two episodes with no real need or justification, for instance Jong Ah's friend. But other than that it was a smooth ride.

A ghost show but not scary show. This make you smile. The whole cast is soo good and I liked each and every character. For me it was beautiful imagination of the writer. A missing dead people staying in mysterious village until someone found the body. And two main character can see them and help them. That was really a good imagination. I liked second season as well hopefully we can get the third season also It will be amazing. Unfortunately this kind of drama doesn't get recongnization from the people because there is no hot actor in the series according to them and no kissing scenes so they won't even tried to watch it.

Missing: The Other Side is similarly in concept to Hotel Del Luna., (which I absolutely loved). I really wanted to like this series, it had all the potential of a great series: ghosts, crime, mystery and hidden identity. However, the slower pace, drawn out plots, predictable character arcs and incoherent character stories lost a lot of points for me.

Missing became extremely dragging midpoint and some story points became fairly illogical (ie. Antagonist had the option to follow main character, choses not to but still ends up trying to trick him into a trap). These odd decisions leads the viewers in a long-winded route just to get back to the same spot.

The acting is great was the cast but the writing for the characters weren't as captivating as there was a lack of indepth development. Most of the character's main goal remains the same throughout and their decisions are made to prolong the series rather than logical.

There are many heartfelt moments in the series as certain characters moves on, but these moments were either dragged out or not developed enough.

If it had slightly faster pacing or less episode, it would have worked better.

Loved season one 10/10 scenary, story line, emotions were all on point.

Season too, I get it, you lost a daughter stop brooding all over through the seasons. The old man in this season was exhausting to watch, looking miserable and really not helping to find anyone, fifthe episode of 2nd season, I just forward his scenes. Jeez men, move on, honour your baby with finding all the other babies stuck there.... The script writer lost it on the old man in this season.

Wook and the rest are brilliant as usual.

The usual Korean threatening faces and boastful walks and eishhhhhh and it's driving me crazy hahaha.

Great story all in all.
