365: Repeat the Year

You will be made to accuse each character. One key in this drama is "trust only in the main character"

I can only say that u will enjoy each and every episode. In episode 13 you will be shocked. After 4-5 episodes you will be suspicious of every single character. This show makes u to doubt every character. A regular movie watching person may guess few twists but the revelation of twists are very nicely presented. What the story lacks is "WHY", this show will answer every "why". I don't know why the serial killer has so much fun in killing. I don't know why the main antagonist like to play with people. It doesn't explains the logic behind the time travel. I will suggest don't find logics in this show.

The best k drama 2020 for me The plot, the cast, really like nam jihyun in this drama

" 365 : Repeat the Year " was a good thriller.

The drama was action packed, focusing on two main characters who were trying to solve the mystery of the serial killer who was trying to kill them all. There were enough twists to keep things interesting, and tiring at times, as, at some point, the twist over twist was a bit too much. The mystery, however, was not easy to predict, or to guess who was the culprit, as, in each episode, another character seemed suspicious. The drama didn't add romance to the mix, at least not too obvious, which was really a relief. However, the main plot with the going back in time and the whole organization was not properly explained. The ending, in addition, was simply perfect. Finally, the performances were great from all the actors and actresses of the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Great theme and subject, good story development and organization, setting and props that strengthen the mysterious and futuristic atmosphere, and valuable description on human psychology when faced with death. Overall great work and series worth watching.

I especially like how the story unfolds. Rather than giving background of all participants of 'Reset' equally and step by step as the time goes on, '365' completely hides characters' motivation and backstory to repeat a year till his or her episode comes. This way, '365' has enough room to turn and twist the story and transform audience's perspective on specific character.

'365' builds tension effectively. Camera angle and movement and how it cuts from one scene to another are trendy and practical at the same time. Also, when something important and mysterious happens, it rests and saves for later so viewers can speculate and create more thrill. Then, when they almost forget about it, it pops back up linking to the next event.

'365' has many merits, but it loses dynamics and tension after the real killer is revealed. The timing of unmasking is right, but the plot becomes too easy for Ji and Shin.

* Lee Jun Hyuk's performance is delightful: great balance between seriousness and mischief.
