First and most, I noticed that fans of the movie, Train to Busan has unhealthy expectation towards other works from the director, Mr. Yeon. Just like the fans are somehow unable to accept the movie, Peninsular as a standalone movie that was never meant to be a sequel of Train to Busan, they seem to be unable to accept other styles or genres of the shows that Mr. Yeon created. The different show has different story telling. Train to Busan, Hellbound, and Jung E are all different shows, and arguably they all succeeded in their own good storytelling. This show, The Bequeathed also has its own style of story telling, and I haven't found something that lacks so much to be a bad show. It's definitely better than another netflix show, Fool Me Once with a cheesy ending that I've seen multiple times from other movies and tv shows. That was the part I was also worried while I was watching this show, but luckily and surprisingly there was an unexpected turn. The incidents that are driven by the characters are so natural, and that is the highest point of this show. If I need to pick some negative aspects of the show, then it would be the scale which is very small. It's not a world problem, or a danger to a society. It's basically a family squabble which makes me think that this shows meant to be a movie, but split into 6 episodes. Anyway, with this kind of pacing, storytellng, and character development. I'm confident that upcoming netflix show from mr. Yeon, Parasyte: The Grey will be good.

Write a brief summary of your impressions up to episode 3.

First of all, from episode 1, the suspense increased with a compelling plot and the appearance of various characters.

The dark and heavy atmosphere dominated the entire drama, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as more and more mysteries were revealed.

The acting skills of Kim Hyun Joo and the other actors were amazing, which made the drama very immersive.

The storyline was also gripping and kept me watching episode after episode.

I honestly didn't expect Korean dramas to be this good.

Highly recommended if you like the thriller genre.

As an avid fan of mystery films, I was very disappointed by this drama.

The dialogue is incredibly watered-down, lacks subtlety, and usually overexplains and oversimplifies. The deductions in the film and the motivation behind the criminals are often nonsensical. The murderer can only be found through sheer guesswork. The themes explored in the drama are either meaningless and used solely for shock-value or banal. And, much of the conflicts early on in the drama is completely forgotten or scrapped by the end. I.e., even this seemingly short 6 episode drama is flooded with useless fillers.

It's quite unfortunate because everything else beside this amateurish screenplay was surprisingly good: The actors were great, the music score was on point, and the cinematography was good. Had this been any other genre and it would have most likely been palatable, but as a mystery drama, which requires an intelligent screenplay, it was subpar.

Another web series written by Yeon Sang Ho. After binge watching the six episodes. I do think that Yeon Sang Ho needs to rediscover his spark while he is doing Train to Busan. It seems that he lose something that was not always present on his previous projects which were Hellbound, Jung E and this current project The Bequeathed. Honestly the plot and story was there, Great actors and all , but watching the series till the end was screaming THAT'S IT? I really hate to invest on a series that I expected to be great cause the material was really there but the execution was a let down. To be fair , the cinematic and sounds were all well executed but then it just not what i expected.

Is it worth watching? In my own opinion Yes, if you're a person who likes mystery and novel like psychological thriller series. But if you're not into slow pace thriller just go to the next kdrama.

I Don't Know Where To Start, But You Could Say It's A Decent Horror-Thriller K-Drama. However, Ghosts Do Not Mean That Actual Ghosts Will Appear. The 'Horror' Aspect Is Hidden Within The Theme. If You Can Catch This Theme, You Will Enjoy The Series For Sure. Otherwise, It Might Bore You Because It's For A Pro Audience, Not For Beginners. The Series Is Very Slow, And There Is No Romance. If You Love Dark, Mysterious, Thriller K-Dramas With Police Procedures, Then It's For You. The Start Is Really Nice, And The Mystery Will Hold You Until The End. You Will Get Backstory And Character Development For The Main Characters. The Actors Perform Very Well, And I Particularly Like Actor Park Hee Soon. A Few Things Could Have Been Better, But It's Still An Enjoyable Mystery K-Drama.
