A Fuga dos Sete

Korean Drama '' The Escape of the Seven : War for Survival '' is a thiller-melodrama.

The drama has a strong start, hooking the viewer with its frustrating plot and the truly evil main leads who will stop at nothing in order to satisfy their egoistic needs.

And yet, in the second half, things got too ridiculous, even for a melodrama. And it also got boring, as it lost its sense of purpose, and changed its story all together, but without a satisfying result.

Also, the use of technology was eye rolling and only there to cover up twists that either backfired or were too out of hand to handle.

The performances, finally, were enjoyable and just right for the genre.

So, overall, five out of ten.

Today i completed the escape of seven, starting 4 episodes was great after that it's so much laggy and lengthy series I have ever watched, I was utterly disappointed with the ending of the series i don't want to wait for 2nd season that I don't need to because of the lagginess of this series,there is one particular reason why I hate this series the reason is justice for bang da mi couldn't get justice in these season because they unnecessary to add junk like show good sides of all 6 characters I'm sad why did I watch these series it's, my opinion I don't want hurt anyone feelings have good day and bye😞

The first three episodes have you believing this will end in justice for who we thought was the main character or at least a plausibly infuriating stifling of justice that was inevitable. However, by episode two you'll be quite annoyed and irritated by the tantrums and meltdowns. Like another reviewer said, no conversations, just arguments.

In reality, you get completely unrealistic twists and an inconsistent story line. I quit at episode 6. I don't need to waste any more hours of my extremely finite life.

Was this really supposed to be so drama filled that every 10 minutes offered a new crisis or molehill turned mountain? There wasn't even a great reason for certain characters to accept the bullying/abuse. The series glosses over major issues that could have been turned realistic. The "7" were all connected in the laziest way.

Save yourself. It didn't have to be predictable, but it should have at least been creatively logical.

Escape of 7 sticks to the writer's usual style, offering a story that feels too familiar. The plot is filled with ridiculous twists, making it hard to take seriously. Unfortunately, the characters don't grow or change throughout, leaving much to be desired. The constant attempts to expose each other in the media become repetitive, and the awkward product placements turn intense moments into unintentional comedy. Overall, it's a missed opportunity for something fresh and engaging.

As the narrative unfolds, it becomes painfully evident that the writer relies heavily on a formulaic approach. Each dramatic twist feels like a recycled version of previous works, creating a sense of predictability that hampers any hope for genuine surprise or excitement.

Character development, a crucial element in any drama, is sorely lacking in Escape of 7. Viewers are left yearning for a more profound connection with the characters, as their actions and motivations become increasingly difficult to empathize with. The opportunity for personal growth or introspection is squandered, leaving the audience detached from the emotional core of the story.

One of the most glaring issues lies in the writer's persistent reliance on sensationalism through media exposure. While the initial attempts to expose characters to the public eye may provide some intrigue, the repetitive nature of these plot devices quickly wears thin. It becomes apparent that this is a narrative crutch, a convenient tool used to manufacture conflict without the need for genuine, character-driven storytelling.

In conclusion, Escape of 7 is a disappointment for anyone seeking a fresh and compelling drama. The lack of originality, character development, and the intrusive product placements collectively contribute to a film that falls short of its potential. While there are moments of fleeting entertainment, they are overshadowed by the broader issues plaguing the narrative. This serves as a reminder that even a star-studded cast and a promising concept cannot salvage a film when hindered by a predictable plot and lackluster execution.

I often watch Korean dramas that are overly dramatic and cheesy, but this show is on a whole different level. It's way more over-the-top and cheesy, you know what I mean, it's shallow in so many ways. Every main character in this show needs to get their heads checked. Just a visit to a psychologist would solve all their problems. Everyone is so hot-tempered and angry, just like a bad soap opera plot where every character is either unrealistically good or ridiculously evil. There's no in-between. And you know, it's super annoying when people think they're being kind-hearted when really, they're just being plain stupid instead of being a 'kind-hearted person.'
