Monstrous

Korean Drama “Monstrous” has the right vibes and an interesting concept, however, it was too rushed. The drama has nice cinematography, dark and close to a gothic horror mood. The main story is also compelling, being well entangled with the characters’ own backgrounds. However, the drama was too short for the story.tvN’s Monstrous is the typical horror series that has all the interesting elements to keep you guessing.Monstrous Season 1 Download

With such a short runtime, you get to experience the joys of watching a horror show without having to wait for hours on end to reach the conclusion. The series’ first episode is mostly expositional, with the audience learning who is what in the show. You come across relationships, broken homes, a dreamy village and a Buddha statue that apparently wreaks havoc, although everyone else is taking it as a sign of good luck.The dark and dreary atmosphere is the perfect setting to understand what kind of menace this excavated head can bring about in society and the people associated with doing something about it look equally exhausted and pallid. As the entire village goes down into chaos after a shocking incident, what respite do the people in Jinyang County have and how do they get away from a horrible curse?Movies and TV shows about a horrible curse being born thanks to people not understanding the effects of old relics have been made time and time again. Monstrous, too, follows similar patterns filled with blood, gore and the depravity of society. The chaos that society can descend into is similar to what we see now and is a reflection of society in general.The show creates a stunning and grim atmosphere for our protagonists to run around. However, with some great actors who do a commendable job and a grim atmosphere that is the perfect place for such a story to exist, the series falls short of being gripping. This is mostly because Monstrous Kdrama starts with promises of this being something different to watch. But, unfortunately, nothing that happens in the horror series is remotely new.
