Grid (2022)

Missed Potential

Pros:
Loved the cast
Liked the soundtrack
Found the premise interesting

Cons:
Plot holes
Sometimes disjointed editing / scene jumping
Adding new questions without answering the old questions
Adding new characters at the end
Leaving too much to a potential S2, instead of a safe 99% conclusion with a slight hint of potential for more

I have been disappointed in the finales in Kdramas the majority of the time for years now. I can usually handle it as a mild frustration. This one left me shaking my head in wonder and for a while, I had no words…

I hope the director learned that you have got to provide your audience with actual answers that they have been faithfully watching for weeks and waiting for.

Confusing but Interesting.. Give it a shot

I have seen many reviews and majority of them are negative, They are saying there are many loop holes, unanswered questions etc. I will keep it simple, Yes it's true that their are many unanswered questions and may be loop holes(I personally don't know what loop holes are there..) but that's given considering it is related to time travel and stuff, Other thing is series is ended with many unanswered questions so there will be a sequel for sure and they made this series keeping that in their mind, most probably question will be answered in upcoming seasons depends upon how many seasons they have in mind, So just judging the series on the basis of this is not right,
I my opinion give it a shot, I personally liked it and I think it is story which will become more interesting in future.
For those people who don't like cliffhangers, Don't watch this or may be wait till whole story is over and then watch the whole series in one go, so you won't be on a cliffhanger for long...
Hope this review helps..

Messy

March 2024
Time travel and solar event drama that, once started, I realised I'd actually watched before, but forgot about. So watched again and realised why, sadly.

It has a few exciting moments, but most of the roles, including the leads, are pretty bland really.

The acting is fine and I liked Jim Ah-joong a lot and her police detective character, Jung Sae-byuk, a straight forward, no nonsense, sensible woman, superior to all her male colleagues, yet not arrogant, although she could act that way if necessary.

Keo Sang-joon gave a good performance too; in fact there was no poor acting, just disappointing characters, as mentioned.

The plot is quite clever, but gets very confusing the more episodes into the story we get. All kinds of stuff happens and cracks in the plot start to show, when some characters remember things, whilst others don't. Logically, any changes made to the past should impact the future, not just in ways that are obvious, but in relation to countless butterfly effects.

However, there seemed to be no rules or consequences. The parameters kept changing and it just got too messy for me.

It wasn't a bad watch overall, but there were lots of unanswered questions and no real conclusion. It felt like a S2 is a fairly good possibility. I'd watch if that happened, but it's not something I'm bothered about really. It wasn't quite gripping enough for me and became too convoluted.
