Premiere Watch: Gyeongseong Creature
by missvictrix
Time slot: Friday (Part 1: 12/22; Part 2: 1/5/2024)
Broadcaster: Netflix
Genre: Action, historical, thriller, romance
Episode count: 10 (Part 1: 7 episodes; Part 2: 3 episodes)
Reasons to watch: Its buzz precedes it, and I think the only proper response here is *please be good*! Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee star in this historical action thriller that takes WWII-era infamy and ups the ante with a monstrous hospital that must be investigated. As is with all Netflix series, the production looks top-notch, with gorgeous costuming, art direction, a wonderful ensemble cast, and a dark and suspenseful premise. While watching Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee fight evil (and maybe fall in love while so doing) is probably enough to draw a gigantic crowd, one also hopes that the script is compelling, and the direction can carry this whole thing from mere action romp to genuinely well-crafted drama. We’ll find out tomorrow when Part 1 drops.
TL;DR: Park Seo-joon x Han So-hee are finally here to kick evil’s butt

Two parts and 7-3 distribution? Who thought of it? Well, It dampens my interest a bit. I will just wait for the second part to air and binge it together...

Sounds like a better option to binge this one part2 is out.
But I may still check ep1 to see if this is worth all the buzz

So who is going to be the most evil, the Japanese or the Monster ? Maybe monster will only be evil to the Japanese ?
Perhaps the monster will be a Japanese Minion Monster that eventually turns against its evil master ? Will the Monster have a love interest ? Old Pulp magazine covers old feature a beauty in the clutches of the monster’s claw or hairy paw. Beauty soothes the savage monster . Monster is misunderstood and only wants a safe place to raise his monster family free of anti-monster discrimination. I’ll give it a shot.

Yesss, finally! Hope springs eternal and I am going into this with cautious optimism. My partner is also on board, which is always exciting! As long as they didn't cut it down from a 20 episode drama we should be fine, right?

Fingers crossed for this one! I binged Song of the Bandits recently and I'm so ready for another period piece. Song of the Bandits had definite strengths and weaknesses, and I want this one to just hit it out of the park.

Streamers and their wacky ways of show distrubution these days.

I can't tell you one thing. If it were not for plot armor, the female lead would have been dead halfway through this. I know they were writing her to be tough as nails, but she comes off as a know-it-all and reckless. She got herself into several situations by her own actions that any other character would have been killed off for.
