it didn't flop ratings wise, but apparently, it wasn't a good show
on mydramalist it has 7.6 rating, and everyone who watched backstreet rookie (7.7), melting me softly (7.6) and abyss (7.8) can guess how terrible the show must have been
(these are my recommendation on what to never watch, do something better with your time).
he is lucky he enlisted, he didn't have to read negative comments
Abyss was kinda ok. Okay, maybe I'm just saying it because I liked the cast, lmao. I hate when a drama that isn't a serious thriller tries to incorporate a serial killer or a murder mystery of some sort. It just ends up being so badly executed. The same happened with Abyss. To be honest, I don't even remember what happened in that show. I just know they got new faces after their death and kept running from that murderer (or trying to catch him, I don't even know anymore) with that glowing ball or some shit. Why was it even called Abyss in the first place?
Didn't watch Backstreet Rookie or Melting Me Softly, but I've heard they're BAD. And the plot of BR kind of grosses me out, ngl. Seems like Ji Chang Wook didn't have a good drama since Healer
