Liver or Die (2019)

It's moreless what you'd expect...but dont let the negative comments put you off...

It's moreless what you'd expect...or at least what I did.
Also the response in the comments is more on the negative side but don't let that put you off from this series because its not all that bad.

STORY
It's pretty much how the description tells it but with a bit more...they're 5 main stories but the focal story is that of the older brothers.
I was indulged by the idea of the story to begin with but then it starts to seem a bit rushed in the last 3 or so episodes which was disappointing.
There's also a lot of things you need to use your imagination for as they're a lot of questions never answered and a lot of things you just have to make do with not knowing despite some of them seeming somewhat important in my opinion.

ACTING/CAST
The acting for the most was ok the characters fit their roles well.
It was just disappointing when the acting seemed a little cheesy and cringe , i'm not sure whether this was due to the script of just their acting but i noticed it more when looking back.

MUSIC
hmm I actually really liked the music :P but yeah...

RE-WATCH VALUE
Not very high because I feel like the point is lost if you know what will happen.

OVERALL AND EXTRA
If you enjoy the family dynamic and arn't bothered by the occasional annoyance of characters and constant misunderstandings THEN this show might be for you. I actually enjoyed it but its not a binge worthy series as it takes energy... what i'd say is watch the first episode with an open mind and then decide.


ALSO if you skip some parts its easy to not have missed much.

This has the same kind of structure that you would find in a typical but first-rate 100-episode drama. Predictable story lines, good cast, great characters. And it does it in 20 episodes, which means no meaningless repeats, less padding, no wishing they would all die and get it over with.
The big draw for me was the character development. I loved the various personalities, all believable and acted excellently. There were no chaebols, no one screamingly evil (well, the mother was a real loser), just the kind of people you might have as neighbors. There are really no surprises, plot-wise, but in a season of really unengaging dramas, I appreciated this understated set of performances by a great cast. If you get involved with the people who inhabit dramas, you might enjoy this. I did.
