Happiness

Korean Drama "Happiness" is a dystopian drama that feels, nevertheless, close to home. The drama doesn't focus too much on the horror aspect, with the zombie-like disease, that could have been easily overused with loads of gory scenes and bloodbath.

Rather, the drama opted for a more character-centric story, with the focus being maintained on the neighbors and their dynamics when a crisis hits home. The addition of the corporation mystery, along with the family drama, were all a nice touch that added more twists to the main plot.

However, the drama missed making the conclusion clear, or more dramatic. Everything was actually too conveniently solved when everyone was straggling to come to a conclusion all throughout the drama. Also, the drama felt like it was missing something, like the story needed something more to leave a bigger impact.

Nonetheless, the performances were great and aided the entertainment value of the drama a lot. The CGI were also well made.

So, overall, 6.5 out of 10.

Not what you usually expect from K-dramas.

Although good make up/zombies acting, but script was really weak with so many loopholes, and characters with stupid motivations.

This series is just brilliant.

Thrilling and exciting and I swear every episode is just so surprising, you won't be able to stop watching it.

The story depicts human nature perfectly and how they struggle and battle to survive a world pandemic whilst the greed of some takes over . With each character you will feel anger, tenderness, love, friendship and sadness too, it has moments for every emotion.

I absolutely love the personality of the female lead and how strong and badass she is, she has great chemistry with the male lead too.

Worth watching it, masterpiece.

I had high hopes for this drama, mainly because I love the actress and horror/zombie movies/series.

Sadly the script had giant plot holes and made the characters take very silly choices. Most of the times I have found myself exclaiming "Why!" 😩

Even though I finished it, I have lost interest since episode 5.

Great start, premise and strong lead casting.

What failed in this show was excessively emotion manipulation by repeating extreme human selfishness mentality in unnecessary situations , while the selfish mentality disappear and becomes idiocy during critical moments when common sense should prevail.

While entertaining in parts , exhausting to watch when the formula keep repeating throughout the show.
