Missing: The Other Side (2020)

Tragic

The drama is about the missing people and doesn't miss to portray how tragic it is for them and their family throughout the show.
I really liked it. The show was quite predictable about the characters, like we know who is related to who, who killed who.But you can't predict how this is going to unfold to reach to revelation. And it was heart-wrenching to watch everytime, even if you know already what will happen.
I really like the chemistry of duo kim wook and jang pan seok. I loved jang pan seok. He represented the suffering of a family member of missing person impeccably.The story of yeo na and joon ho was equally heartbreaking.The idea of the community they have created together was unique. The village setting was beautiful, especially the flower field. The child actors did the marvelous job.
I thought the show is going to be serious and heartbreaking and it was, but still it has funny moments, carried by our duo and sometimes trio.
I really don't like only one thing about this drama that characters try to withhold information from each other, especially kim wook.
But overall, it was a unique concept. And I really liked this drama, because of the characters I'd say.So, if you are having a mood for good cry, go for it.

The only word that kept coming to mind after each episode was "bland". The acting from the mains and supports felt pretty subpar and none of the characters really stood out. In addition to not buying into the acting, the plot felt rushed in areas where it should have had more focus, lingered too long in other areas, and there weren't enough details to glue it together.

This one was tough to write about actually because it had the ingredients to be pretty decent so it's hard to describe or pinpoint what was missing from it. Despite some heart-warming scenes and bonding moments, it somehow felt shallow at the same time. It didn't help that the main character was also pretty obnoxious and unappreciative.

I would normally stick with a series if at least one or two aspects were done well enough especially because this one has a relatively short number of episodes. But the overall feel of this one just didn't intrigue much, and less so with each episode. Onward to the continuous search of good series that involves the afterlife and/or spirits.
