“Alice” is a K-drama that delves into the intricate world of time travel and parallel universes. With 16 episodes, it takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through different timelines, mysteries, and emotional entanglements.
The Premise:
In the year 2050, an organization called Alice enables humans to travel across time and alternate realities. The drama introduces us to a fascinating concept: What if we could change our past and alter our future? The show promises intrigue, suspense, and mind-bending twists.
The Good:
- Intriguing Premises and Ideas: “Alice” sets up a captivating premise, drawing viewers into its labyrinthine plot. The concept of time loops, parallel worlds, and the consequences of altering the past keeps us engaged.
- Solid Cast: The acting is commendable, especially from the lead actors. Their emotional performances elevate the drama, even when the plot takes unexpected turns.
- Shocking Twists: “Alice” doesn’t shy away from surprising its audience. Unexpected revelations and plot twists keep viewers guessing until the very end.
The Not-So-Good:
- Lacking Characterization: While the drama excels in plot complexity, some characters remain underdeveloped. We wish we had more insight into their motivations and backgrounds.
- Inconsistent Plot: At times, the storyline feels rushed, and certain plot points lack coherence. The drama occasionally sacrifices logic for dramatic effect.
- The Rushed Ending: The finale leaves us wanting more. Some loose ends remain untied, and the resolution feels hurried.
Final Verdict:
“Alice” is a mixed bag. It offers intriguing ideas, strong performances, and shocking moments. However, it stumbles in character development and plot consistency. If you’re a fan of time-travel dramas and can overlook some flaws, give it a watch. But be prepared for a bumpy ride.
In the end, “Alice” reminds us that lingering in the past or pining for the future won’t lead to happiness. Instead, we should cherish the present and appreciate the people rooting for us.
