Happiness

I found the synopsis very interesting so gave it a go ,was planning to watch it anyway as it's Park Hyung Sik's comeback but wow it's really immersive and had me hooked from the first episode. Would seem pretty cliche to some because of the backdrop and the flesh eating virus but the leading couple's chemistry elevate it for me. Can't wait to see more I hope it has good pacing and more action.

So I just finished the drama and wow...that was quite amazing. The progression felt so natural and although there were some minor plot holes and inconveniences it was overall very cohesive. Undoubtedly one of the best dramas of this year.

Happiness, as the name sounds, isn't all about happiness though. This thriller drama sees an apocalyptic world where virus has created a havoc and residents of an apartment are surviving for their life.

Happiness had a decent story with a very good production and overall visuals. The soundtrack though, was the best part in the entire drama. The music tuned to the perfect rhythm along with the key moments in the series.

Not forgetting about the leads who gave a commendable performance and maintained romantic chemistry among themselves. It might not be a part of my Top 5 drama of the year, but it was a very well made show which blended multiple genres/aspects and delivered a convincing result.

My Rating : 7.5/10.

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.

The actors are all spot on in each character, but the plot is both derivative and repetitive. And the ending feels tacked on. The series is okay, but definitely not the best of KDrama.
