Notes

My quick rating - 6.4/10. I thought this show presented a very unique concept but was hampered by some lazy writing. The central idea, where a man’s eye is transplanted into a serial killer, leading him to witness brutal murders, offers an exciting premise. The gang of organs hunters that were central in the removal of the main characters eye were relentless but very sloppy in their part in the story as a whole. However, the execution just didn't live up to the initial ideas' potential brilliance. The most frustrating aspect is Kyung-pyo Go as Oh Jin-Seob and his ongoing lack of communication, which feels unnecessarily forced and was constantly pissing me off throughout the show. While the show leans more toward being a thriller as the protagonist hunts the serial killer, there are distinct horror elements in the way his visions unfold. The effects that portray his "connect" ability are well-done, providing some memorable visuals. Unfortunately, the story itself feels lackluster overall. While the acting is fine for the material, the writing weakens the impact of what could have been a more compelling show. It also didn't help much that the series ends on a complete cliffhanger, leaving things unresolved, and after two full years, is especially disappointing since that means the likeliness of getting any closure to this show is minute.
