Abyss is, hands-down, the most non-sensical show imaginable. The story is utterly random, the plot holes are massive, characters will randomly be oblivious or super insightful depending on what the writers need... even by lax k-drama standards, it's a mess. I broke out laughing multiple times at just how unintentionally ridiculous the proceedings were.

That said, the leads are excellent, with great chemistry together, and I dare anyone not to fall in love with Park Bo-Young by the end. The supporting cast is mostly pleasant, and for the most part it's fine escapist fare if you just want to turn your brain off for a while.

Park Bo-Young - She is just wonderful and never fails to nail her character. She's also so natural, likeable and just the cutest.

Sure, there is nothing remotely believable in this story but somehow you still go along for the ride cause it is fun. I particularly felt the chemistry between the two leads. Their back and forth bantering and the camaraderie they show with the real Lee Mi Do and Detective Park gives off a good vibe. Good triumphs over evil in the end and love endures. Good escapist fun.

I'm loving this series. The message it leaves is good too. Coming back to life as your soul may not be what you had hoped for. The lead characters Hyo Seop Ahn and Bo Young Park have great chemistry. Love Detective Park. Can't wait to each Monday to see a new episode.

It had a strong start with the protagonists having lovely chemistry and a strong antagonist. However as the story dragged out it ended up using all its major moments of suspence in the first 10 episodes. By episode 10 the plots for each episode become similar to a monster of the week format intersperced with some romance. So I ended up dropping it.

Amazing first 5 episodes though.

It is a well thought out serie. And a good partner in crime serie. But it got a little too boring, so you knew what was going to happen. And there could have been some more romantic drama.

Initially the show starts off quite slow and it takes a few episodes to pick up speed but I feel the plot is really well constructed and the ideas are thoroughly executed, plus a lovely side romance that's just perfect 🙌🙌

This drama is not about the normal type of story as you see in any other drama. On the contrary, it is about chasing a serial killer and the ability to retrieve the dead. However, there is a complicated twist to this ability. A deceased person might transfer, after being retrieved, to a different body, forcing you to live someone else's life. And of course, Abyss should not be called a Korean drama if it does not include some romantic stuff.

Although the storyline was pretty good and the chemistry between the characters was fine, something was missing that kept me fast-forwarding episodes several times.

It might have something to do with the first episode in which the producers already revealed the two suspects. For someone like me it's then quite difficult to pay attention to the story. Watching the characters searching the suspects for 16 episodes when you already know the answers is not much fun. Actually, you should call it boring.

An interesting concept but the drama never really goes anywhere. You're waiting for the real action to unfold but it feels like make-believe because real life criminals aren't as nice, nor do they talk as much as the serial killer in this series. Serial killers are conscience-less psychopaths who take pleasure in human suffering. The killer in this drama is an impulsive old man who likes to give long winded spiels and randomly kill people. Real serial killers typically plan out their crimes in order to avoid being caught. Psychologically tense dramas require realism. This is more like a cheesy soap opera where a "serial killer" label was slapped on this character.

I really liked Park Bo-young in Strong Girl Bong-soon. But I dislike her character here, which falls into the stereotype of the weepy, helpless woman. She makes menacing threats but squeals when the killers slaps her. Also, the hysterical behavior makes you wonder if she really is an experienced, hardened prosecutor.

The episodes got more and more dragged down and I couldn't finish.

I really really like Korean crime/mystery dramas. Unfortunately, many have unnecessary romantic drama. This one does not. But, it does slow down in the middle. 10 episodes at a faster pace would be satisfactory. Very nice; I liked a bunch.

The idea behind the story is nice, and so is most of the storyline. The screenplay is bad though. People are portrayed very unrealistic and inconsistent. Some are very clear headed in stressful situation and two minutes later shake like a girl. Experienced policemen staat shrieking when they find someone who's hurt in the floor and then make gave mistakes in handling a serial killer. Women keep acting stupid all the time. It's really unnerving. I think the writer is very young and didn't have a lot of life experience.

I really loved this series (and I still do). Firstly, the story is really good full of crime, romance and bits of comedy. I also love how the character Go Se-Yeon is interpreted (excellent performance by Park Bo-Young). Overall is a great series, my favorite yet.

The series frustratingly uses hyperlink to make the story move forward far too many times

OK, so there were death-defying leaps of logic. At times, you wonder why a character did such a monumentally stupid thing, making it more frustrating than it had to be. There were a few lags in the story line. At one point, the story didn't seem to know where it wanted to go or how it wanted to take its viewers there. But on the other hand... The premise was pretty good. The two main story threads were fairly creatively woven together. All around, the acting was superb - pretty dang hard to keep the story going with all of the fails. It's always great to watch Park Bo-Geum and it was especially nice to see Ahn Hyo-Seop come into his own as a romantic lead - a role he showed promise for in Still 17. In all, enchanting... it you don't think about it too much.

The characters are fun and enjoyable to watch. It takes interesting twists and turns. The overall story is well thought out and kind of a unique idea. But man, it is paced soooo badly. Its like they had about 12 episodes worth of ideas but were told it had to be 16. The character's conflicts sort of just resolve themselves out of nowhere and then they just keep hanging around. It does keep you interested but not for the right reasons. You are like, wait so this person is just dead now? How is this gonna work? And then everyone just moves on to something else. At episode 6 I felt like I was watching one of the best k-dramas I've seen. By the end I was like, wow this was all kind of a waste of time. All the character flaws the protagonists have are essentially gone in favor of cutesy perfect people. Very little is properly explained and the ending, my god. Absolutely one of the worst endings ever written. They wasted so much time in the last 4 episodes on pointless drivel and then the last episode they rush through all these extremely important plot points. And the final 20 minutes makes zero sense. I enjoyed the ride but can't recommend anyone watch it. The disappointment I feel right now wasn't worth all the great things about it.

This drama has everything ! Romance ! Comedy ! Love ! Mystery ! sad ! LEAVES YOU AT THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. Love it !

The story is unbearable to watch with all the police incompetence and stupid plot holes, but I just can't help to continue watching because of Park Bo Young.

I watched for Park Bo Young cause we all love her but this drama is bad. I get it, most dramas are unrealistic to begin with, but Abyss has just taken it too far. Each character's persona is all over the place, there's no continuity.

Side note: why do kdramas always make the police officers look like bundling idiots?

Gave three stars for Park Bo Young.

I hat a problem with the idea of an ugly guy being reborn as beautiful just for the love o having a handsome male lead. It would have been completely ok is a guy that was presented to us as mediocre or handsome from the start to be reborn handsome with another face, but by doing it the way they did it they made his looks too important. I know the intentions were good, showing that even if he was ugly his soul was beautiful and with Seyoung showing that although she was beautiful her soul was mediocre. But i forgot that because the story was nice and they didn t bring it up often, yet the actors had great chemistry. BUT OH GOD SOME EPISODES!!!!. I was really annoyed by the episodes Seyoung was getting upset with Min for being reborn handsome, i felt like they were implying she would not have fallen in love if not for his looks. And i think that s real problem of this drama, something i haven t seen anyone complain about. The fact that Min was there for Seyoung liking her for 20 years and in those years she kept him next to her but didn t show romantic interest. Yet now he s handsome she somehow falls in love with him. I know they go through a lot in the drama but we also see flashbacks from the past and get an idea about how Min always treated her wonderful and yet she never treated him well cuz he was ugly and not up to her beauty standards, as she herself says a lot of times.

I love Korean shows and couldn't wait to watch this one. As mentioned in other reviews the characters have great chemistry and Park Bo-yeong nails her part splendidly.

The story is interesting, but could have been delivered in a different pace and setting to captivate the audience even more.

But the mail lead acts like a child. Not even in high school one could be that ignorant and dumb. I do not understand how the writers could think that a character like this would be realistic or appealing.

On one side the character is smart (due to his upringing and having a job as a capable director in a conglomerate company), but on the other side he often ignores facts and logical deduction.

His behavior gets a bit better after the 10th episode or so, but there are still moments, where the viewer can't believe that one could behave in such a ignorant and silly manner.

Ahn Hyo-seop's acting is good although I'm a bit distressed about the fact that he had to act as the character was written. I probably would not have taken this role after reading that script.

If you can deal with a male lead that acts like a 10 year old with no common sense, then this show will certainly be worth watching.

Geez was this a disappointment, it had potential but it died out quick and it was very predictable after awhile. It seems as if they were trying to hard to make it a 16 episode series when it could have been alot better if it was just 10 episodes.

A beautiful story with brilliant execution in acting. I honestly didn't like the starting but it keeps getting better. I loved how writers didn't drag single murderer till last episode rather than they kept the story exciting with his accomplice! How amazingly the writers pulled off a crime story along with a beautiful love story. Usually in crime dramas, the love story lags behind but in here, each episode had some sweet scenes. Loved they went to picnic just under the sky.. Their family picnic.. Her father approving of him in the nicest way.. Him hilariously recording it.. The Time capsule.. And last but not the least THE GREATEST MIRACLE that made the abyss was the sweetest twist ever! LOVED LOVED D LOVED the ending. I can't believe that Ahn Hyo Seop is so young but he's soooo good! Do yourself a favour and watch this wonderful drama!

It's ok as far as ideas go it's about having second chances and a serial killer however you can see how it's stretched out to fit the narrative what makes it work isn't the tedious plot the constant annoying twists and turns or the theme of the show but the chemistry between the two leads to be honest I'm fast forward watching it cause it can get very annoying at times.
