Synopsis looked interesting and I wanted to give it a watch, however was instantly taken aback by how many jump-cuts there are that are also badly edited within the first 5 minutes.

Barely a second goes by without the frame aggressively shifting somewhere else. We get it, you brought too many cameras onto set or something?

Tried my hardest to continue watching but honestly felt like throwing up with how wild and often the viewer's perspective is being thrown around.

It's absurd to think about the money spent creating an otherwise "great looking" tv show only to be chopped and hacked into this abomination in post. Don't bother.

*As an aside to address another review's criticism of the edit/scene shifting, this is unfortunately common for Disney produced Kdramas, and should not reflect negatively on the work itself.

For starters, I love this cast filled with favorites at their best. The first episode really draws you into the imperfect dream of living at the top of the food chain humanely. Unfortunately humans lack generosity, humility, and grace, especially those with money and power. I was immediately drawn into the concept, and kept at attention by the affects of the various mysterious characters and trying to figure out their angle.

These more condensed Kdramas, due to less filler and more tightly woven storylines, can sometimes come across as rushed to those of us used to the more leisurely Kdrama stroll. But having seen and enjoyed several of them now, I've come to appreciate this style. There is little time to get distracted or bored because nearly each scene adds an important layer of detail and story progression.

I found the ending quite intriguing. I find myself both satisfied by some aspects, and exceedingly excited about a more fully satisfying total conclusion. It's an interesting feeling to appreciate what they did there. I'm not frustrated, I'm excitedly anticipating. They really had better have that season 2, though. Highly recommend.

As with most Kdramas, this show has a tight script with little breathing room, solid fleshed out characters and relationships, plus an intricate plot that contains relevant social issues.

Although there are some minor plot holes, it is an very entertaining show. The debates, questions and implications bought on through artifical meat and bio tech will probably hit our future society in similar fashion. Added the political intrigue, grand standing along with conglomerate business jockeying makes many complicated plotline indeed.

The last episode seems to be cut/edited and reduced only waiting to be render/explained in a more complete episode in the next season. This was kind of similar to the now discontinued series, The Grid, which I like much more, however more confusing.

Let's hope for a 6 months turnaround time.

The actors in this drama are very good and very cool, as well as the sophisticated world provided in this drama, it is really interesting and tense with all the problems that exist but I'm still confused about the ending and I really need the lyrics and final story of this drama, more precisely, I need an explanation and connection. And than that's why I give the rate is nine because the ending is soooo confusing but I love the story and actor. One thing that makes me like this drama is the casting of the actors and also the storyline which contains action drama but is given a bit of a romantic sensation.

In the starting, u might feel it's too complex or uninteresting; but u should definitely wait and see the magic of this drama.

The main leads are mature actors : solid acting, so much chemistry even without any romantic scene. The plot is so futuristic. The storyline has few twists and isn't as predictable ( plus point).

Although I didn't like the side characters' dramatic angry or political scenes but all actors did a good job.

I love how Disney doesn't release basic rom com kdramas, instead they make dramas with unique thriller concepts for mature audience.

The ending was open, so I am eagerly waiting for season 2.
