Lately, the Korean drama Connect has been trending at Disney because it stars famous actors such as Jung Hae In and Go Kyung Pyo. This is a highly recommended fiction thriller drama. Call it a mini drama because it only has 6 episodes, a very small amount. In addition, Disney directly uploads all six episodes at once, instead of uploading them every week.
Alright, let's talk about this drama.
Drama connect tells the story of a new human race named Connect. This race is a race that is not in the logic line, where humans who belong to this race cannot die. When he was hit, injured, or killed, it wasn't long before he recovered on his own.
One night, Ha Dong Soo is suddenly caught by an illegal organ hunter. He was kidnapped and his organs, eyes were removed. Because Ha Dong Soo is a human with the Connect race, even though his eye has been amputated, he can still live with one eye. But one night he experienced a strange incident where he could see what people who had donated his eyes saw. Even more shocking, the person who received it was a serial killer
One morning, a statue shocked local residents. The statue is like a very beautiful work of art. Everyone who passed it became very interested in taking pictures of it. However, the statue was bleeding, revealing the fact that the work of art was the victim of a cold-blooded killer.
On the other hand, a calm man, an office worker named Oh Jin Seob, is told. He's a mysterious man who never hangs out or shows any facial expressions. He is very secretive. It is known that he was the one who received Ha Dong Soo's eye donor.
This drama is a thriller drama mixed with fiction. The Connect Race was completely new and absolutely impossible in this world. Even so, the writer and director seemed to make the race really exist. The theme of this drama is very unique and has never been seen before. Usually someone who is told that he cannot die is a human who turns out to be an alien, a zombie, a ghost, an angel of death, and so on. So I have to credit the originator of this idea.
Jung Hae In as the main character in this film cannot be denied that he is really the main character whose character can draw the sympathy of the audience. Too bad, that's the character.
Go Kyung Pyo is also one of the factors that makes this drama very popular. Usually serial killers are shown as someone who is not beautiful and has a dark story behind it. However, Go Kyung Pyo's character is very different. He can even fool his co-workers very well, especially the girl who likes him.
Regarding the statues of the murder victims Oh Jin Seob, it reminds me of the Indonesian thriller novel entitled The Mystery of the Salt Statue, where the murder victims were also made into very beautiful statues. I wish I could watch the series or movie of my favorite Salt Statue Mystery novel too.
