Mostly a hot experimental mess!

Likes
1. Interesting premise and first few episodes.
2. I liked badass Gureum at the start. But i didnt like her in the middle. It was really all her fault. She knew Zi0 was dangerous yet she was stupid enough to fall in love and more.
3. I was disappointed in Zi0. He was the male lead and yet it felt like he was the real villain after everything else that happened.
4. The conversations and debates about cloning, human vs monster, etc were interesting but were not executed well enough for viewers to feel inspired.
Actually have nothing else good to say or highlight. Haha. Felt like i have been watching this for far too long even though it was only for 12 episodes and i fast forwarded a lot of the scenes.

Dislikes
1. Not sure when the story started to get messy. I think ep 7-8. To some it maybe the best part of the story (and where it should have ended). To me it was the worst part of the story and shouldn't have happened.
2. Skip ep 9-10 or fast forward them (like i did). Everyone's actions and decisions stopped making sense. They just kept running after Zi0 and Gureum. And semi-good people kept dying, the bad ones kept surviving. It was exhausting.
3. From the very start i thought the best possible ending was to kill off Zi0 and put everything back in its place. But the ending actually made sense for a scifi drama. Scary if it happens in real life though.

It was a strange drama but interesting at the same time

I really enjoy watching this, but after 9 ep I became stressed and nervous due to Gu Reum. This woman make me to ”kill her”
She trust Ji Oh and after 30 min. she run away from him and again, she trust him and run, and again throughout the episodes. It was annoying. The ending was... awful. Why she chose to blame him for a such thing when was obvious that he could destroy the world for his family. I don`t understand this woman at all... Why he decided to trust those people, whose goal was to make, again, experiment on him.
In other words, the story was spellbinding, the acting was impressing and the plan in which they played was brilliant.
this drama it would be a really successful if they worked a little more at the end and at the woman character

Ok

Good story, but the end/the last two episodes shocked me in a very bad way. The acting, music, atmosphere has been very good. I have nothing to complain about.

But why did the ending have to be like this? Somehow it didn't fit. Ji Oh has changed so much, although he had a completely different view in several episodes, but suddenly he changes everything after a conversation? And what about his baby? No one saw that his baby was thrown from a high building, even though it was so obvious?

Gu Reum has been very annoying at the beginning, but after a few episodes I liked her. Now comes a BUT again. In the last episodes I couldn't stand her again. She believes everything she is told and then apologizes to Ji Oh as if nothing happened. He suffered all the time and what does she do? She doesn't trust him even though she has been able to spend so much time with him and see what he is like. But no, she immediately believes people she doesn't know. People who wanted to hunt Ji Oh down and kill her....

I give this drama a 7 because I thought the episodes up to 10 were pretty good.

This is like AWAKEN v2.0

I was hooked from the very first episode. This one has the same vibe as the TV series AWAKEN, promising plot with a frustrating ending.

Lots of mystery/crime fighting within the show. What I didn't expect was the mellow romantic parts, but I really appreciate it. It gave a little heart to the show.

I also like the cast, lots of familiar faces. Good acting and good OST too.

Now, what I don't like is the fact the villains are almost impossible to kill. The good guys are always thwarted, fooled, betrayed and most of the time killed. Why did the characters suddenly turned stupid?

The final episode calls for a second season. If there's none, then the bad guys won and it has a lousy ending.

Would I rewatch it, maybe not. But I'm interested if ever there's a second season.

Something different, but just that.

Two things made me watch this series. First, the synopsis, which is of a different genre than most of k-drama series, and second, the female lead, Lee Da-hee, who is rarely seen playing such genre.

The story develops so well from the start, and continues to be engaging, but only until episode 8 or 9, when the main leads start to get manipulated too easily and make some out-of-character decisions, and other prominent characters either die too easily, or ridiculously survived from heavy beating up.

In all, I pressed fast-forward button a few times, and did not seem to miss anything much. It’s an action series, so I do not expect any extraordinary acting by the casts, nor any chemistry among the actors. The last 2 episodes seem to rush towards the end, for a disappointing ending. That is my opinion anyway.

With an ending like that, and the way ‘The Beginning’ is told, I am not sure if I will watch any sequel, or even Season 2.

The 10 rating is for the OST :)

Not even trying

This was a bad Sci-Fi! Lousy plot, weak writing and unbearable characters. It progressively kept getting worse with every passing minute. It shamelessly tries to be serious but came out as nothing but goofy. The cast performance was meh and the visual effects were passable enough not to look cheap. There were no redeeming qualities to be seen here, nothing but a downward spiral.

Already waiting for Season 2

It is great that this drama ended in EP2 rather than being dragged to EP16. The way it ended I am already waiting for season 2.
I felt it started very promisingly but was clumsy in the middle. But the end was again superb. Probably character of GR should not have died and instead she should have brought her daughter in such a way that she will fight her father who has turned in to villain.
I had so much sympathy for ZIO but lost it all after EP10. I cannot wait how daughter is presented in season 2 and will be rooting for her.

Honestly the major part of the drama was absolutely perfect but then it slightly toned down at episode 10 when the characters started shifting loyalties and joining other sides.
The characters were amazingly written with majority of them being in the grey zone and being neither fully bad or good. My favourite one would be definitely Gu Reum, I really liked how she was strong both mentally and physically and was an icon. My most hated character would probably be the spiritual leader of director Kim and the actors did such a great job with playing these villains.
The OST was catchy but the English part of the lyrics weren't making much sense tbh...
I feel like the ending left us with some unanswered questions and although I don't have any hope for second season to happen, I still wish for it.

WEIRD?

I mean I dont know where to begin...
The story had good start. Good sci-fi level or whatever it's called. It was pretty decent but then as the series progressed, it just started to get tiring. It has many good and appreciable scenes which are the only reason I gave this rating. Leaving everything I just DID NOT GET THE ENDING. It was like the writers suddenly went like- "Okay you know what? Let's just wrap this drama up. Oh we're in the middle of climax? Never mind that just kill EVERYONE and give the most insane life to the living characters." I just dont get the ending. This drama had so much potential they just drained it like that in the end. For people trying to decide whether to watch or not, I would definitely say there are many other good dramas that you can watch. Ofc my point of view differs so you can give it a try if you dont mind bad endings and want a good plot [excluding the ending lmao]. Otherwise nuh uh!

Era para ser grande mas não foi

O começo desse drama foi incrivel, e rapidamente viciei em assisti -lo, tinha boas atuações a ost eram bem descente por sinal e as partes de ação eram eletrizantes , a história sobre a ficção cientifica também me interessou muito , a protagonista feminina era bem diferentes daquelas que estamos cansados de ver por aí, totalmente fora dos esteriótipos e eu adoro isso, eu realmente pensei que ia adorar demais isso mas...

Esse drama tinha muito potencial e foi muito bom assisti-lo até o episódio 8 , depois disso foi só ladeira a baixo, a protagonista feminina se transformou em algo irritante e sem cérebro, eu não suportava as cenas com ela mais. O drama foi se tornando cansativo, os vilões eram irritantes no minimo, e não só eles, pois todos os personagens acabaram por ficar chato e previsíveis.

Em fim não me arrependo de ter assistir , teve seus momentos bons apesar de tudo, e olado posivo é que tem poucos episódios o que torna mais suave a experiência , serve bem para passar seu tempo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was supposed to be big but it wasn't.

The beginning of this drama was incredible, and I quickly became addicted to watching it, it had good performances the ost were quite decent by the way and the action parts were electrifying, the story about science fiction also interested me a lot, the female protagonist was very different the ones we're tired of seeing around, totally outside the stereotypes and I love it, I really thought I was going to love it so much but...

This drama had a lot of potential and it was really nice to watch it until episode 8 , after that it just went downhill, the female lead turned into something annoying and brainless, I couldn't stand the scenes with her anymore. The drama was becoming tiresome, the villains were annoying to say the least, and not only them, as all the characters ended up being boring and predictable.

In the end, I don't regret watching it, it had its good moments despite everything, and the positive side is that it has few episodes which makes the experience smoother, it serves well to pass your time.

Humans will be human, you either trust them or you don't.

Humans will be human, you either trust them or you don't. This drama was very action packed and entertaining, but I would have preferred a different ending.
Looking back from episode 1 to 16, I really want to pay tribute to Gu Reum, this wonderful woman was a hard worker, diligent, stayed true to herself and a very good fighter, but I honestly think she wasn't really happy. What she didn't realize was that she couldn't change people, people only change if they chose to and on their own terms and free will. The struggle for justice for her parents, leaving her alone from a young age, and the battle to be alone and alone was very difficult for her. I was deeply saddened by the way things turned out for her. Soon, the little happiness she had received was robbed from her.
Ji Oh is the main hero and the result of a genetic experiment. It is a human/animal hybrid which is the first of its kind and was able to escape from the laboratory as a child.
He lived a life where he was lonely, with no memories of his "gift" or "curse" as he calls it, frequently being tracked down by people who don't remember.
The entire series focuses on the humanization of Ji Oh. He encounters the same people again who put him in Hell, which leads him to believe that this is really him.
To free yourself from mental slavery, you must undergo some form of therapy, which unfortunately did not and the result was a reflection of that.
A very disturbing drama, as one might imagine, if something like this was ever possible, there would be crazy dictatorships in power and rich nations would be happy to abuse engineer humans as weapons.
After all, with cloning, growing a human ear on a mouse and even working to grow human organs in pigs, this drama is not entirely fiction.

I think this drama will have a second part!!!

It's a drama with an astonishing start and a strangely sad ending

I loved this drama a lot.
The story was nice as well as the people who played the characters. However, the ending was sad. I did not expect that sort of ending.
It was vague. What happened to the daughter?
Does Ji Oh know his daughter is alive?
What about Gu Reum? They did not exactly show if she died?
Also, why in the whole world would those bodyguards go and catch her ( Gu Reum) like as if she is a criminal or someone who is going to run away. Why couldn't they say they were there to take her back safely. They even hit her so much. And then why didn't Ji Oh tell the bodyguards and the women who ordered to bring Gu Reum to be careful and nice. Who in the whole world wouldn't resist and try to flee if a gang of people comes like that.
I hoped for Gu Reum to be more than an ordinary person. That she would leave her pain of the present moment so that her kid can be safe, not lose memory. It's difficult of course to see her kid being electrocuted. But, she also needed to realise that her kid is not an ordinary human being. She is even much more stronger than Ji Oh. Indeed it would be better to do the high voltage charge thing later as how Ji Oh said. But she ( Ge Reum ) shouldn't have misunderstood like the way she did. She could have trusted him. The trust could have saved them from that painful ending.
I watched this drama as it was a suspense thriller drama. I was happy that it was also a fantasy drama.
I don't know why though people say the main lead Ji Oh has become a villain. Because he is doing what he can do as a father to protect his daughter. He suffered a lot. And he knows maybe that his kid is alive somewhere. So, he of course needs to make sure that his kid is safe more. He is not near her as seen in the ending. I wonder if he even knows. Maybe he believes she is alive or why would he carry on with the procedure.
Also, no one seems to be harmed by the new babies. Those new babies are fine as long as they are good. So, I don't see Ji Oh as a bad person. He was produced in a strangely wrong manner. But it doesn't mean that he is a bad person neither the new babies.
The writer left too many things for the viewers to think about.
I really really want to know what would happen to the daughter, if she would ever meet her father and mother.
I hope that they create a season 2 and give answers, make it clear. I hope that Gu Reum somehow is revived back if the writer had thought of killing her. Also that the three can reunite.
There must be a season 2 or it won't make any sense. The actor and actresses should be the same as well.
