I watched up to episode 3 of Netflix’s IsaTong, but there wasn’t much to it.

In the Hong Sisters’ previous works, Master’s Sun, Del Luna, and Illusion, the ridiculous fantasy world view was fun, but this is just a standard melodrama without any tricks.

Moreover, the half-hearted presentation of the story of falling from a building while filming a third-rate zombie movie and waking up from a coma for half a year to become a world star suddenly breaks the authenticity and makes it even worse.

Of course, Go Yoon-jung is pretty and shows off her long legs while wearing short skirts. I’ve been keeping an eye on Kim Seon-ho since Chae Soo-bin’s drama The Strongest Delivery Man 9 years ago, but instead of his typical sly and sassy character, he transformed into the concept of a cold-blooded man.

Other than that, the Hong Sisters writer’s unique picture-frame composition full of burn scenes and the tiki-taka lines that the male and female leads constantly throw and throw back at each other, no matter what you look at, it seems like a female-oriented melodrama written by the Hong Sisters.

The box office prospects seem vague. There are no fantasy elements to attract overseas Netflix viewers in Hong’s existing worldview, and since Squid Game, Netflix’s original works have been dominated by gory genres steeped in violence and drugs. In the romance genre, with the exception of the period drama Boksak, Lee Doo-na and Mr. Plankton melodrama have been failing in a row. If this succeeds, it will be largely thanks to star power.
