A Heartwarming Korean Fantasy Romance
In the realm of modern Korean dramas, “Abyss” offers a unique blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery. While it has its flaws, the intriguing premise and endearing characters make it a worthwhile watch.
Plot Summary: “Abyss” begins with the mysterious resurrection of two individuals—Cha Min (played by Ahn Hyo Seop) and Go Se Yeon (played by Park Bo Young). Their souls return to life in different bodies, and they embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind their reincarnation. As they navigate their new identities, they also grapple with love, friendship, and the consequences of their past lives.
Review: The drama’s premise is its strongest asset. The concept of soul transference through an enchanted orb (the Abyss) adds intrigue. Ahn Hyo Seop and Park Bo Young deliver solid performances, infusing their characters with depth and vulnerability. Their chemistry is palpable, especially as they rediscover their connection.
However, “Abyss” falters in execution. The pacing is uneven, with slow stretches and rushed revelations. The plot twists, while intriguing, sometimes lack coherence. The supporting characters—such as Detective Park Dong Cheol (played by Lee Si Eon)—add comic relief but lack development.
The romance between Cha Min and Go Se Yeon takes time to blossom, but their interactions are heartwarming. The drama balances humor, suspense, and emotional moments. The OST complements the mood, although some tracks become repetitive.
The ending, while satisfying for some, leaves others wanting more closure. It’s a matter of personal preference. Overall, “Abyss” is a mixed bag—a fantasy romance that dares to explore life, death, and second chances.
