Trolley

This show has a gripping plot and credible storylines. Many classic k-drama elements have been seamlessly weaved in the story of this show.

Despite the change of an actress at the beginning, the cast has been well stocked with great actors and actresses. The performance of the cast has been all on point and powerful. Especially the lead actress, she deserves an award for her portrayal of the woman character. I have not heard of her before this drama but after this drama I found a recent movie of hers (Jung_E) on Netflix and enjoyed her performance in the movie too (maybe less than that in this drama but mainly because the movie's plot was less convincing).

Overall this drama is a must-see!!

This drama is SO powerful. Not easily understood by many. The whole drama is as per the title. Referring to the Trolley dilemma. Every decision in the drama was based on this dilemma. The majority of people, when given this problem would sacrifice the one to save the majority but this drama highlighted the moral issue of sacrificing the one to save the majority. Who are we to make that decision? Is the one sacrificed not worthy of any notice? The drama can be slow in some episodes but hits so hard at the end and leaves viewers thinking. Highly recommended for thinkers. Writer should receive an award.

Everything about this S Korean drama is top notch. The story moves along with no slow boring bits, actors are believable and really invested in their roles. Camera work is nothing spectacular, but then again, this isn't an art house film. Technically, 100% right.

The story, which is basically all a movie/series needs to keep the audience invested, is well written, with intelligent, believable conversations even while watching with subtitles.

I won't go into all the details of the two main families, but it's all twisted political intrigue, with flashback explanation helping carry the story.

Episode 12 - the last: Reality. I found myself shrieking at my TV. OMG NO!! That did not just happen!! Why, but hey, that's good TV. Worthy of the 12 hours you'll invest and the 9 stars I gave.

An incident from the past returns to haunt the wife of an ambitious politician which could falter his career. The series is very well acted as each episode exposes a new truth which leaves you wondering who are the good people and who are the bad. It all begins with a tragic incident involving their son and the plot goes on to twist and turn and draws you in. The side stories are interesting and the cast all do an excellent job as your initial opinion of some of the characters over time changes as their true nature is exposed. It is well written and I enjoyed the pace and the main character played by Kim Hyun Joo shows great strength as her life unravels.

The story was supposed to be a good one but the decision of Ms. Kim was so below par only thinking of herself, the thoughts and sentiments of only 2 people and not her daughter and the rest of the society in general. I for one can't accept her decision, I find it selfish and not right. She could have moved forward of her choice when everything had been accomplished, thus even her daughter not suffering the harassment of her clasmates because of it. With that, everything could have been better for all concerned. It's a pity, it didn't materialized and the core of the story wasn't achieved. That's a pity.
