Somebody

First episode: interesting

Fourth episode: it just gets weirder and weirder

Last episode: Fast forward to the end

The story got my hooked in the beginning but as each episode progresses, the IQ on each character suffer a -10 penalty, so you can imagine how much IQ left at the end of the series. There are a lot of scene that I feel unnecessary and I don't know the reason why. It felt like they have a basket of essential pop culture reference that they can choose from, and each episode they just sprinkle of a few of these formula of successful.

Overall I enjoy good the series looked, but the story and character frustrates me so much I have to come to imdb to find reviews about how others felt and ended up written one.

I honestly don't understand how this has such a low rating, it is one of the best Korean serial killer thrillers I have seen since the Vengeance trilogy. The acting, cinematography, writing and pace were all excellent. It had me hooked from the first episode. It is shocking in places, so maybe not everyone's cup of tea but to give it a 3 is just unwarranted. It does present some difficult themes so don't watch if you are expecting the typical Korean Netflix show. I hope to see more tv shows and movies of this calibre from Korean cinema as they have a unique feel to them that you just don't get from Hollywood or most European cinema.

I give Somebody a 9 and would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a good adult Korean show to binge watch.

Somebody is a dark erotic thriller that is different than the typical K-drama. It has a little bit of everything, but not a lot makes sense. The shaman did not make sense. The missing police did not make sense. The dialogue is sparse, and did not make sense. The explicit sex scenes did not make sense.

That being said, the series has a unique style that is gritty and dark. The cinematography and editing are captivating. The mystery unfolds in a tense way. The serial killer is demented and convincingly portrays a frightening character. The interactions between the main character and the serial killer are odd, although the mental disorder supposedly explains it. If you are fine with unnecessary sex scenes with a K-drama style, this could be worth a watch.

Personally I think this series isn't something everyone would love to watch. When it comes to making kdrama with psychic thriller concept the creators need to be really careful with what they are putting up on the screen. Some scene portraited in the series can be extremely sensitive to some people. Since we don't get to see much kdrama with such intensive act shown by the actors, this series definitely paved a new path in the kdrama industry. The cinematography and so was the story line as it showed diversity by dopting many things from the pop culture and applying them creatively. And the last thing I would want to say is that if you really want to watch the series then watch it full, don't leave in mid way or skip scenes.

Someone rated this a 3, which is insane to me because it certainly doesn't deserve such a low rating simply because it's not that persons "cup of tea".

I'm a huge fan of thrillers, and this one was really well done. The writing was excellent, the performances, top notch, and the cinematography stunning. Even if you didn't like the premise of the show, you must acknowledge that everything else was done well.

Don't pass this show up simply because of one bad review- it's so much better than that.

Watch this, rate it and help change the average score, because this show doesn't deserve a measly 5.7/10.
