Newtopia

I was impressed with the quality of this production: time just flew by and didn't find a boring scene. The story background was simple but realistic that I was easily drawn into the story. It was quite an interesting feeling to be scared but found it funny at the same time while watching. To me, it was a chill show to wrap up my busy week with some joy and excitement at the same time!

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!

Last but not least, no dobt Jisoo's acting has been improved (for sure male lead was doing a great job as well!). Also, I was wondering how Jisoo still look so gorgeous in those scaring scenes! Nice Watch!

Honestly, I watch Newtopia just to see actress Jisoo back on screen. I normally don't watch Korean movies or series but you shoud give this Newtopia series a chance.

As I watched episode 1 and 2, I realized that this series is so good. Zombie series but presented as funny, humorous way, plus the love story between Jisoo's characters and her enlisted army boyfriend making me curious, will they survive and meet again? Resolved their love?. It's refreshing, funny, so engaging, thrilling and Jisoo's acting is so good. She is improving, evolving as an actress. I am looking forward to her future acting projects.

As I said earlier, you shoud give this Newtopia series a chance.

So far I'm into episode 4. Ep1 was indeed a bit boring, as has been said by others. But you'll get to the end. In Ep2 the story begins to unfold. Don't expect a masterpiece in originality or story telling or camera work or dialog or anything really. All the 10 star reviews are just not objective, but neither are the 1 stars. Taste may be a bigger factor here than in other shows, because the story is nothing new, but it is done in a somewhat original way as a mix of horror (not much of it really), drama, and comedy (childish/quirky /silly, like in many k-series), and it may just suit you or it may not. It's harmless k-comedy-drama at its core in a zombie setting. Why not. The characters are a bit generic and could use more depth, but I do care about the main parts. And I wonder how the story continues, and what becomes of them.

So all in all, a solid 7. After Ep4 I raise to 7.5. Fine with me for a few hours of escapism.

Not your typical romcom or zombie thriller. Feels more like a movie than kdrama. Director should've start the show with female lead since kdrama fans love beautiful visuals. And show more of them together to get viewers connected with them til 8th ep

**They'll show more of their relationship in between as flashbacks, like the scenes in Shop for killers (same writer).

Pros: Good acting, good chemistry between cast, easy and straight forward plot, zombies are bloody gore, the lead couple are cute in flashbacks, the FL team looks promising for a fun ride with zombies, ML seems creative and not scared fighting zombies so it's not dumb and dumberer just a hint of humor take

Cons: Too short and quickly done scenes, unsure which direction it'll take next which is good to keep us guessing but also worry it'll be heavily leaning to soldiers instead of the romantic leads. I hope I'll come back and say how happy there's very little military scene especially the squad leader we don't really care about them like that.

I was not expecting much as i thought Jisoo is still quite inexperienced actress. But i was wrong. Every minute was worth it. The little details like slipping on blood, head getting stuck between elevator door, young joo putting the eyeball in polly bag and then someone crushing it under feet while running, Jin-wook peeing and panicking being in car. Everything was on point and funny. So far loving In ho - Jae yoon and Young joo - Jin wook duo. Now i can't wait longer for the next episode. It's gonna be a good watch for comedy lovers like me. Hope that, we won't get to see sad ending or tragedy.
