Happiness

Not what you usually expect from K-dramas.

Although good make up/zombies acting, but script was really weak with so many loopholes, and characters with stupid motivations.

As a kdrama fan, I still don't get what so good in survival dramas. It's not my usual type of genre. But recently this genre got more popular. Sweet Home, Squid Game n Now Happiness. But I still like Happiness Kdrama and the reasons are simple Han Hyo Joo one of my favorite actress. Kdrama are addictable. I finished watching it. It was good. If you tried Squid Game and Sweet Home, then you can also give this a try.

I had high hopes for this drama, mainly because I love the actress and horror/zombie movies/series.

Sadly the script had giant plot holes and made the characters take very silly choices. Most of the times I have found myself exclaiming "Why!" 😩

Even though I finished it, I have lost interest since episode 5.

If you are looking for full zombie action with run and kill all the time, then this might not suitable for you.

I find it quite interesting because every character has his/her own motive and agenda, and made different decisions when facing the virus infected persons.

It makes you think you would have done the same, if your priority is yourself or some bigger ambition over others...

I love a good Korean thriller; they take risks on scripts that Hollywood has become too self-indulged to make.

So I was excited to watch this, mainly due to the high ratings and reviews.

The acting is excellent, the characters are likable, and the zombies are genuinely scary.

Unfortunately, the plot of almost every episode is driven solely by the Characters making truly nonsensical decisions. Some of the scenes feel like they were written by excited ten year olds. It's sloppy writing at it's best. It's not clever enough to create tension without having people act in ridiculously Impractical ways. And this is where it loses me.

A shame because the lead actors are very likeable.
