Korean Drama Save Me shows how a good thriller must be done
Story
After her brother’s tragic death, Sang Mi is forced by her parents to join with them the local cult. And for years, she is unable to escape, until an old classmate, Sang Hwan, along with his ex-best friend, Dong Chul, will attempt to save her.
Korean Drama Save Me is a heart-racing thriller with a hectic plot.
The drama has a dark mood, with beautiful cinematography and clever use of light. It creates, thus, a creepy atmosphere that aids the story and its suspense.
The twists of the drama, moreover, well nicely handled. They weren’t exaggerated, but they were plenty and, along with the action scenes, added more edge to the plot.
The story, in addition, combined the takes not only of the leading lady, but the local community as well as the boys who will try to save her. That helped to not have things lose their interest factor and get boring and tiring.
Characters
Sang Mi is the new student at her school. She is protective of her brother and tries to help out her family. However, after her brother gets severely bullied and dies, she sees her family falling apart and her losing her freedom.
