[mslee’s thoughts] Save Me – Final Thoughts

Image
Got to admit, the final two episodes kept the suspense and that nail biting feeling as I watched. As the day of the wedding between Spiritual Father and Sang Mi come closer, that scary feeling continues to rise. He was so filthy with his thoughts that he was not able to hide his pleasure anticipating that hour and laugh crazily which surely made viewers felt those goosebumps. I did. I like how the role between Sang Hwan and Dong Cheol was divided to achieve their plan. Sang Hwan did outside work while also searching for his mother who suddenly disappeared at the hospital. Dong Cheol made a deal with Sang Mi to betray him. It resulted to him being in the same place with the people who have been hidden and tortured inside one of the gruesome place in Guseonwon. Police searched a place before but failed to see these people. They were transferred to another building. But this time they were found. Thanks to the tracker in Dong Cheol’s phone Sang Hwan found him and the other two friend...

(Mslee's thoughts) Save Me - Guseonwon's Dirty Secrets

Save Me drama gives the best creepy and disgusting openings yet. The distasteful thoughts of the Spiritual Father towards Sang Mi makes it awful to watch. I thought that scene would be crucial and Dong Cheol would be there to witness and rescue Sang Mi from being molested but the twist was unexpected. Sang Mi suddenly beg and told Spiritual Father that she will be a willing participant to be Spiritual Mother, buying her time for the time being. It was a nerve wracking scene and the writer must be keeping the suspense longer than what viewers can endure. The revelation of what Guseonwon has been doing behind its believers are listing them under patients in the hospital that they are administering inside Guseonwon. When one of the believers is sick they were given instead of psycho drugs. Thus what happened to Sang Mi’s mother. Her shock towards the demise of her son did not lessen and instead of recovering she hallucinates. Other believers who are caught disobeying or running away to...

(Mslee's thoughts) SAVE ME – THE DESIRE TO ESCAPE AND BE RESCUED

The story has painfully dragged the desire to escape from Guseonwon. Sang Mi after 3 long years still has not accepted the religious organization which she detested since that first day she felt the hand of the Spiritual Father on her thigh while in the disguise of praying has only one thought… to escape. But the thought even though has been executed two times already, first on the night she met 2 police officers but she was thought of as insane and the second one when she witnessed the death of the boy hit by train. These were painful experiences that added to her trauma and weakened her resolve but not her fighting spirit which is always vocal of antagonizing Apostle Jo, Kang and the Spiritual Father himself. One of the things that makes it harder for her to escape alone is the thought of her mother being left behind in the hands of these crazy people. Her mother has been used to threaten her to subdue her as the only thing apparent that makes her stop whatever she plans on doin...

(Mslee's thoughts) Save Me episode 2

The drama heightens the intrigue... The writer has written a powerful story about bullying and consequences of the sufferings and pains of dealing humiliation. The drama has shown a strong message on the subject that should come across clearly to parents and children. The writer and PDnim both did an excellent job in telling viewers how far this kind of things can go and damage self esteem of a weak individual that can lead to early death which oftens finds its way as a solution to suffering kids. Im Sang Mi has shown that she can be strong... But not strong enough to deal with a different kind of bullying which is sexual harrassment and intimidation from adults. She can withstand enough but still can keep her silence when she knows it is dangerous and not something even her parents can help her with under the circumstances. I think this is a message that should not be overlooked by parents watching this drama. That they must be vigilant and observant of their children to make them...

#saveme ep 1 Well what to expect when this drama premiered via OCN? I thought I was watching a movie. The pacing is like in a movie, the cinematography is nice and the characters' introduction was well played. There is enough mystery to keep the interest of the viewers without really spoiling more about the details of the coming events in the story. The background story of the family who suddenly left Seoul has not yet been revealed which adds more to the suspense and thrill of the story. I wonder if the tea that is being served to guests of the high priest of the congregation is something that makes people join the organization. I think how the drama depicts the religious theme of the story is okay and can be seen in actual true gatherings on how their worship services are also being done. I guess the misbehaviour that has been shown in one or two of the scenes will be the wickedness attached to the organization's malpractices of the leader and the right winged man wh...
