Mr. Plankton

South Korea are masters at delving into emotions and relationships between people, and when they succeed, as in this series, no one stands next to them.

The series is honest and vulnerable about how we live with trauma, which survival strategies we use and how we protect ourselves.

The main characters are two young adults who fill the entire series with their stormy, charming and tragic lives. Woo Do-hwan and Lee Yoo-mi have a good chemistry, and she rises against his masculine radiance, something not everyone can master, I think.

The balance between them is fine, and intensity and depth come across in a touching way. The film jumps a bit in time, and at the beginning the communication and behavior between the main characters was a bit uncomfortable. This was quickly cleared up because they know each other well from before, and when they meet again they continue roughly where they previously left off. But now life has become even more complicated for both of them.

The series is bittersweet and with humor, hope and action. Love is stronger than death, and there is nice symbolism. Mr. Plankton says that plankton is at the bottom of the food chain - at the lowest level in the ocean, and I thought about how much a human can endure before we burst. Mr. Plankton thinks of the bonds of heaven, and I can feel in my heart the longing and fear that lies behind it.

It is good that obvious clichés are avoided and that 30-year-olds dont behave like innocent teenagers. Certain scenes could have been shorter, but it still gets a 10 because the story and authenticity triumph throughout the series.

Once again: Cheers South Korea, keep making these amazing series that take us on adventures and grip our hearts. Thanks to everyone behind the production.

Ktrauma in this year. However, this kdrama is very good to watch and very enjoyable.

The story, comedy, love, sadness, trauma, wounds in this Kdrama are written and shown very well, as well as the acting of Woo Do Hwan and Lee You Mi which is so good, detailed, looks real, and until I feel the emotions and feelings. Woo Do Hwan and Lee You Mi acting is very good and feels very real, the comedy is so fitting and not too cheesy, the presentation is entertaining and fun, and the love story is so sweet and tragic is the attraction of this kdrama. So my rating is 9/10. I think the 9/10 rating that I gave to this kdrama is because this kdrama is very good and worth watching!

This Kdrama is recommended for those who want to laugh very hard and then cry very hard. I'm sure, people will continue to discuss this kdrama because of the story and ending that so... curious about the ending? So watch it first and you will know how the ending is! Don't worry! This kdrama will have a happy ending. Very highly recommended to watch! You have to watch it!

We learn how this Kdrama would end in the first 10 minutes, still it came it was a gut punch nevertheless. Woo Do-hwan plays the abandoned child/cynical man with grace and emotional honesty. His soulmate, played by Lee Yoo-mi, suffers and delights in turns as he steals her away from her hard-won opportunity to belong to a well-off family whose cheobol son she charmed. But their bad luck follows them like their shadows on a sunny day.

Beautifully written and acted. The misfortunes they have overcome and the misfortunes they have yet to face bring them into contact with deadly thugs, a judge-y mother-in-law-to-be, a hapless minion, and others who con and disappoint but never succeed in ruining their lives.

The head-scratcher of a title is explained in a lovely, touching scene that reveals just how deeply Woo Do-hwan's character feels, yearns and denies.

Funny (really), twisty, touching, graceful and ultimately life-affirming. Have kleenex handy. Very high production value and A-list cast make this extraordinary, too.

I don't know how they do it, but you have to hand it to them, they continue to make the best dramas in Korea with the best writers, actors, directors & cinematographers. Hats off to them.

If I tell you you'll cry buckets, I won't be spoiling anything. The first scene is the ending scene. You know what you're going to get and no amount of willing it not to happen is going to stop it happening.

Be warned, your heart will be broken, you'll curse at the unfairness of life but you'll love that these characters, whether abandoned, mistreated or simply lonely can find family, love and support with each other.

The cast is excellent. Not a single offbeat role. The ML & FL give this drama their all and deserve the plaudits coming their way & a special mention to the location manager and cinematographer. The series was a treat for the eyes.

Loved this despite the heartache.

I cried a river watching the ending but eventually I came to the terms that it was a happy ending! Cz eventually he became cool plankton that he alws adored.. Plankton who is in the bottom of the food chain but without plankton, fish wouldn't get food, we wouldn't get oxygen.. They alws shine the brightest and maintain the ecosystem sacrificing thyself.

Prepare a box of tissue. By the time you end ep 10, I assure u there will be no tissue left. From ep 1 it was a roller coaster ride. I felt that having a parent and a family is what we normal ppl take for granted. Oh how special it is to just have a family! It broke my heart into thousand pieces to see that ppl tired to take advantages of orphans pretending to be their relative and take money from them. Haejo looking for his birth father so desperately wreaked my heart. Letting go of the person he loves just bcz he was afraid of commitment and the unpredictable pair of haejo and Eo heung was noteworthy. Hats off to the actors and team of Mr Plankton for making a masterpiece. Congratulations to Da hwan for the best work in his career till date! Way to goooo!
