Watching Takashi Miike once or twice and you'll recognize that bloody director anywhere. He really loves gore and to splatter blood everywhere.

I saw the drama in YT shorts and I was visually attracted, so that's why I watched. Who knew it has only 6 episodes, which end up being nothing more, but a LONG prologue. Tbh it's the same as if I've just watched the longest introduction to the concept of what is a Connect. Or a short series how a guy chased another guy with a phrase "return my eye to me".
I must admit, realizing that it ends with a huge cliffhanger I was pretty disappointed. Because the concept of Connect was pretty entertaining.
And what is "Connect"? Connect is an urban legend about an undying person. And it truly is so, even if they're cut to pieces their bodies seek to reconnect the parts. For the criminal gang it was like a big dream - they thought the guy will heal himself, though I think Connect doesn't work that way, they do reassemble, but I don't think they're capable of regenerating organs. Otherwise he wouldn't run around screaming - give me my eye back. After all whenever there's a cut those filament like tentacle act almost instinctively and immediately. Tbh partially this reminded me of the Parasyte -the maxim- anime, although connect doesn't have any alien form to exist in the human body, but the ability to transform body and survive is what feels alike.
And this Connect man is Dong Soo, a silent introvert guy who likes to stay low-key in the shadows and live his life quietly, fully aware of who he is and afraid of being found out, he was caught by criminals and although he managed to escape, but one of his eyes was taken away for transplantation. Little did he know that this way he was connected to another person, who happened to be the serial killer. The way he figured it out was also unusual, after all Connect is a special existence and due to the part in question being the eye, Dong Soo could "see" some of the images from the other person.
Also, I'm pretty sure many of us had seen those opening scenes with the human statue and that's why we got interested.
Figuring it out Dong Soo tried to find and stop the man (wonderfully played by Go Kyung Po), so there will be no more victims. But I must say that Dong Soo acted so suspicious at all times, he always acted as if he was on a wanted list. And because of this he stumbles a lot on his way to seek justice. So there were times when I wanted to ask him - don't you find your actions counter-productive? Maybe change something? Especially if you want to stop the dude.
The story itself follows three lines, one is just for fighting - criminal gang that tries to capture him; the line of the serial killer; third line is finding out that he's not the only one like this. But it's hard to name it a full story, because the gang was just chasing and fighting, the killer had a showdown, but it all ended interestingly and the number of connects grew by the end of the show. So the ending wasn't only the biggest cliffhanger, but a huge tease. And this is the biggest spoiler, but I'm still mentioning it, after all my curiosity grew when we find out that cut parts can be attached to others, not only, what if a bad guy becomes one of you and we won't get anything unless there will be a new season (or just go and read webtoon instead).

Emotionally the depth of this show is shallow and is not enough to cover your ankle. The only one who goes into dilemma is Dong Soo. His overall reaction to society should give you the idea that because of who he is, he can't live a life in the open, just a simple accident may blow his cover, like it happened in his childhood (the scene used once too often in the series imo). He stuck out like a sore thumb compared to others. You can't expect anything from Jin Seop. I Rang as we figured has her own agenda. The gang was responsible for chasing, screaming and coloring the screen red. And the way the storyline progressed also felt lacking and felt slow. Although what would you expect from Miike. As I said it's simply a long intro, after all nothing was truly resolved.
