My Review….
This drama presents an intriguing fusion of horror, science fiction, and historical genres, offering a conceptually unique viewing experience. The plot, centered around a monstrous creation born from human greed - indestructible and uncontrollable - is both terrifying and fascinating. However, the narrative isn't without its flaws. Despite the strong performances, the leads lacked a convincing chemistry, and their shift from animosity to affection felt contrived and unnecessary.
Additionally, the pacing of the drama often felt slow, with certain elements becoming repetitive. The resolution was particularly unsatisfying, as the mastermind behind the horrific experiments escaped justice, rendering the loss of many innocent lives seemingly pointless.
While this drama marks a commendable attempt in the horror genre, its execution in terms of story development left room for improvement. It might appeal to fans of the lead actors for a one-time watch. However, for avid horror enthusiasts, it may fall short of expectations. Ultimately, whether to stream or skip this drama is a choice I leave to your personal preference
