Unit 731 of Japanses Troops, Maruta is true DARK history of Japan that in China, Korea and Asia during WWII.

During World War II, the Japanese government kidnapped civilians, led them to sexual slavery, forced labor, and conducted "Maruta"biometric tests.

Maruta means log in Japanese, and the biological experimenters were called Maruta.

Also Flag Rising Sun used with German National's Hakenkreuz.

For that reason, the use of the Rising Sun Flag is a crime in Asian countries.

Unlike the German government, the Japanese government is not unscrupulous and hides this fact, and most Japanese people are likely to be shocked to see the drama.

For now I give it 6 stars, and though I haven't seen all the 7 episodes released so far, I'm not surprised the k-drama fans are out in force as usual to blow smoke up its backside. It's pointless to come here for a balanced review on anything k-drama because everything is "must see" and the "best drama" of the year, whatever the actual quality.

No-one does monsters quite like the Koreans and there's been a glut of shows featuring monsters and zombies in the past few years. Because of this there's some high bars to reach and overcome and there's really nothing here we haven't already seen. There's an uneasy mix of occasional comedy thrown in with the drama which might settle and gel as time goes on but in the early stages comes across as jarring.

I'll update this when I've seen the whole series, but right now I'm just here to say that if it really is as marvellous as all the 10 star reviews, I'll happily eat my hat. Until then I'm reserving judgement, despite being an admirer of the two leads. That's not enough for this to be an automatic masterpiece.

I started watching this with the expectation of a thriller series about fighting a monster. But what I got is much bigger and meaningful than that. The greater monster in this series is not the said "creature", but the people who created it. This is a story about the oppressed and the oppressor. A story about survival in the darkest time of history. You won't find "Stranger Things" type of monsters in this series, but you will find a story about humanity, with a great cinematography, settings, and quality acting. It might be slow paced at first, but please continue the ride, and you will be mesmerized.

This drama is a very interesting historical drama. The historical background it portrays is based on the extremely cruel human experiments conducted in the 1940s during Japan's invasion.

Perhaps for modern-day Japanese reading this, it might not matter to them since it is not the history of atrocities they themselves committed. However, ignoring or not learning from the atrocities committed by their ancestors will never make that history disappear. I sincerely hope that the Japanese people will confront their history head-on, learn about the atrocities they committed against neighboring countries, and feel remorse for the cruel acts perpetrated by their ancestors. Please remember, "A nation that forgets its history has no future".

If you don't know the history of Unit 731, please watch "The Men Behind the Sun" from Youtube.

Season 1 It's such a tragic history of Korea while Korea was colonized by Japanese for 35 years from 1910 to 1945. It was painful to watch Gyeongseong Creature cuz it's based on true history but I am sure the reality was even brutal/cruel.

The first episode of the show takes its time to build up the entire narrative, but once you let the period, the fantasy, and the premise in, you are in for a growling ride that you do not want to miss! The cinematography and director need to have mentions for 'Gyeongseong Creature'.

Strong Performances: Both Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee deliver strong performances, particularly in the action scenes.

Overall: "Gyeongseong Creature" Season 1 is a captivating and suspenseful K-drama that successfully blends horror, mystery, and historical elements. While it has some minor flaws, its strengths lie in its unique premise, strong performances, and engaging plot, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre.

Season 2 This series should have ended with season 1. Pretty sure when this series was written it had only season one but Netflix being Netflix was like " ok now lets make season 2".

I personally am gonna forget that a season 2 even exists.

I won't say that the series is perfect. The story has a good set up and the actors are all good. It did make me curious and I was emotional at times, empathyzing with the plight of war victims. Iam looking forward to the next season very much. However the making has I think, many flaws such as lack of detail in some characters especially like that of Wi Ha Jun's, protecting the leads with plot armours many times so that we end up thinking that's absurd, no way that's possible or that it could have been shot differently. Expected acting wise,more from both the lead actors in the first episode but I think their acting got better as the story progressed. A show that has been hyped for so long will be obviously critiqued in detail. It's interesting -both the premise and the characters but making could have been way way better.

Finished the part2 and I seriously think they could have made this an awesome show if they had invested more into the writing. Well it turned out to be an average experience for me. Do watch and find out.

Han So-Hee didn't disappoint, again.

Experiments on humans were portrayed so good that 95% of the time I had to look away.

Characters are well-written and it's not easy to predict outcome.

Get ready for bunch of plot twists that will make your jaw drop.

On the other hand CGI was good but you can still tell that it's CGI. So that's one of the things I didn't enjoy that much. Anyway, drama is so good that I watched all 7 episodes in one breath.

Immediately after watching I came to give my rating, and I was astonished to see such low ratings. Most of the ratings are 1, and I bet those people didn't even watch the show. And I'm guessing they were given by bunch of JK girlfriends that are jealous because Han Soo-Hee starred in their boyfriend's music video.

Don't let those small ratings to keep you away from this drama, it's better than most of the dramas that are currently on the air.

NVM. 10/10 now. Wow, It just keep getting better and better.

Very enyojable and fun to watch but it didn't quite reach the expectations i set for it. Part 1 absolutely slayed i couldn't wait for part 2, but as much as i liked it, it felt a little dragged, like the contents from part 1 were just repeating themselves and then came the ending, that personally, doesn't make sense to me. The character development scenes felt overshadowed by the constant action scenes. Overall the show is really well made with incredilbe cast. There is potential for season .I recommend it as a watch, i'd just wished there were more laid back moments where we got to see the characters relationships grow.

Had no clue about this series until a trailer appeared on YouTube and that caught my interest. Now am eagerly awaiting more episodes in January. This offers far more high quality storytelling than hoped for. Great script. Wonderful chemistry between. Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon for their intelligent complex characters with substance and depth. Really enjoy their 'fight' scenes with each other. They're a well matched couple. Appreciate the recreation of the historical context. Wonderful supporting cast/characters. And the evil humans --well they're clearly the real monsters. Crazy "mad" scientists are really scary in reality. Raises serious ethical questions regarding following orders, treatment of other living beings, politics, science, relationships. Visually gorgeous.

I was really looking forward to this drama and I was not disappointed.

CGI & Effects, sceneries, sets costumes, etc..in this drama were made with quality.

I usually don't enjoy watching these period dramas about war because it is very depressing and heartbreaking to see the capacity of the brutality and cruelty of men (the japanese really caused havoc and irreparable damage to Korea).

But in this case and although there's a few very real and powerful scenes where emotions take over, thanks to the supernatural elements of the beasts and the very unique and quirky personality of Park Seo Joon's character and his romantic storyline, the darkness is somehow compensated and it works wonders.

It has been a very long time since we watched Park Seo Joon in a drama, and I missed him. I truly enjoy his acting. He has the capability of taking this character ( Jang Tae Sang) and transform, he showed us an infatuated man with all his awkwardness and clumsiness but also a man tired and in agony for what life has put him through, and you can feel all his pain, anger, frustration and then determination to keep fighting to keep surviving hell.

Han Soo Hee was fantastic too, I am used to her kicking ass with her roles and this wasn't less. She had great chemistry with Park Seo Joon and the dramatic scenes were very painful to watch. Truly amazing actress.

Rest of the cast was remarkable and I cant wait to see the second part of this. Specially Wi Ha Joon, which had a small role so far but I am anticipating he will play a much bigger part in the upcoming episodes.

Overall, amazing drama, very entertaining and well made. Go watch it!

Gradually, I was sucked into the story, and in the last seven episodes, I felt sadness and anger.

The actors' acting was the best and the story development was very solid.

It was less cruel than historical facts, but it was cruel enough for viewers, so it was difficult throughout the whole time, but it was worthwhile.

There seems to be a lot of meaning about monster.

Women who were taken during the Japanese occupation were raped by the Japanese army and treated like monsters even when they returned to their hometowns after liberation.

It is seen that this monster represents such a woman.

I can't wait for Part 2.

I am genuinely perplexed by the negative reviews because this show truly has it all. From the gripping suspense to the intense drama, fear, and love, every element is expertly woven together. Not to mention, the cast is not only incredibly talented but also stunningly gorgeous. Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee deserve immense praise for their phenomenal portrayal of their characters. Personally, this is my favorite role of PSJ, and I found myself falling in love with him over and over again. Each episode leaves you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating how the story will unfold in the next installment. For me, this series is a perfect 10/10 and quite possibly the best series of 2023. I am eagerly awaiting Part 2 and cannot contain my excitement.

Korean Drama '' Gyeongseong Creature '' is a fantasy, horror, action drama.

The historical aspect of the drama is spot on. The costumes, make-up, settings, everything are beautiful, and create the right atmosphere, along with camera filters and sharp shots.

The story has enough mystery, moreover, to keep things intense and interesting till the very ending. However, the plot is pretty basic for a fantasy historical drama, with few surprises, a messy pace when it came to the love story, which could have been omitted or kept for the second season, and poor CGI that messed up the whole momentum at times,

Other than that, there were some emotional plotlines and a lot of well handled action scenes.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I started after seeing the critics reviews. Mostly positive though audience review was poor. Once I began, it felt like this was labeled as a wrong genre "creature". This should have been titled Gyeongseong 1945 or something. Because the story is character driven and I must say Park Seo Joon delivered a tremendous performance in this one. Han So Hee and so does the rest of them did their part neatly. Not high-octane was the only reason people thumbed down I guess. But if you are looking for a character driven, heavily colorful, neatly oriented and glimpse of a creature hunting down soldiers and people apart, this is a must-watch. If you want to watch something that would push your adrenaline, I would suggest going somewhere else.

The direction may seem off at first but slowly it became poised in a singular tone. The acting of Park Seo Joon keeps the drama alive till the very end. A fresh, new and charismatic look along with the new language from Joseon Era seemed to have met perfectly by the cast. 6.8 doesn't seem to do justice to the series considering the level of effort that was put into it. I would suggest anyone who is looking for a character driven story with minimum thrills to watch the series. If you are looking for only monsters and high-octane thrills, this will be disliked by you and as I can say from the rating, immensely disliked. But critics reviews were mostly positive since they are unbiased and don't have hatred in their heart. And they were also not expecting only monsters in a series. Most critics labelled it as a 'hit' rather than miss. So, watch for yourself.

As I've been very much looking forward to this project, I must say I am somewhat indecisive as to how I should rate the first part of "GyeongSeong Creature". As expected from the star-studded cast, the acting is nothing to criticise. Directing and writing also holds up, except from some interesting love-moments between our protagonists being sprinkled in during high risk chases etc. The concept most irritating to me is the balance of power between creature, soldiers and heroes, as the latter seem to have way fewer problems surviving one to one combat against this military killing monster than trained, armed soldiers do. Besides that, definitely worth a watch!

Didn't expect much here but was pleasantly surprised the more episodes I wateched. Acting is decent and the story developes at a reasonable clip. The cinematography provided nice visuals and while the 'monster' might appear far fetched, I do give the writers credit for an interesting twist on Japan's occupation of Korea before liberation. There are some sub-plots of survival during of the darkest times in Korea's history so you might have to dig a bit deeper to find some of these underlying messages, but overall, am enjoying it thus far. I gave it a chance and as I headed into this with an open mind, I'm being rewarded.

Didnt think i would like this probably based off its odd name but thats me, this has blown me away through 4 episodes, Never have i seen better acting throughout the entire cast, its not a who's who of Korea but everyone is on their "A" game.

Ive done my fair share of looking into WW2 Germany and Japan but never heard of unit 731 which is a true thing that happened and it was as bad as what the NAZI's did, this and a small amount of sci-fi which doesnt really hurt the series along with a very dynamic FL and as someone stated in a review its a MASTERPIECE.

It took the 2nd episode for it to really kick in and has built on so far please give this a try its fantastic.
