The show is set in a new universe of mutants coming from South Korea and follows the lives of these mutants as they try to find their place in the world. The show is quick watch with six episodes that are 43 minutes long.
The story follows a young woman, Jung Hae-in, as she is forced to fight against the Connect in order to save her own world. The film is set in a parallel universe where humans and Connect live side by side, and it is up to the protagonist to stop the Connect from destroying everything in their universe.
Dong-soo wakes up mid-surgery before the doctor can take away any of his organs and leaves the makeshift hospital with only one eye. The one eye that was left behind has been transplanted into a serial killer.
Dong-soo is a blind serial killer who can see out of his empty eye. He is able to learn the serial killer’s next move once a connection between them is made. Will Dong-soo be able to save the victims or is there something more sinister that comes into play with Dong-soo being an immortal creature? ..
The show starts off with Dong-soo (played by Jung Hae-in), a petite young man being kidnapped and shows his journey from being a nobody into being called a serial killer, all because of his connection with one. The concept of the story is novel and it is pretty interesting to see these two polar opposite characters come together. Dong-soo and Jin-seop (played by Go Kyung-pyo) are roped into a situation that they did not ask for.
It could be a morbid thought but the corpse art sculptures were really beautiful and some part of me wished that Dong-soo would not have stopped the killer so that the artwork would continue to be displayed. This is only a joke because no one in their right mind would want to kill humans just to have themselves remembered even after they die!
The cinematography and concept of the show are appealing, but the episodes seem too fast-paced and rushed in the second half. It would have been nice to see the chase between Dong-soo and Jin-seop slower. ..
The character of Yi-rang is one of the most interesting and compelling characters on the show. She is a strong and independent woman who stands up for what she believes in, even when it means going against the grain. Her fight scenes are exciting and her story is compelling, making her one of the most likable characters on the show.
The show “Connect” is a fast-paced, action-packed TV series that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Despite Jung Hae-in’s inexperience at singing, the melody of the song grows on you as you watch the season finale. The show is well-made and manages to keep its viewers engaged throughout its runtime.
Disney has announced that a Season 2 of Connect is in the works and it’s been an exciting ride watching the show. There are so many questions that viewers have after the end but despite its fast-paced story, this has been an enthralling thrill ride.
