When Time Stopped (2018)

An interesting premise brutally devastated by nonsensical writing and plot devices. The core story was as dull as it's presentation. Which by the way, gets negative marks across the board. The color grading, the cinematography, the visuals--- poor at best. The OST might be passable I guess?

Theoretically all shows deserve a chance but there's just no upsides to this one. A plot that becomes less and less appealing once it actually starts ramping up. Character dynamics that becomes less and less appealing the moment they interact with one another. World-building that becomes less and less appealing the moment they start crafting.

A lot of "oh, so that happened... huh" moments all throughout the course of the show. Combined with the shallow plot, iffy chemistry of the leads, and low-effort execution... unless you're a die-hard fan of something in this show, there's just no appeal to it.

Honestly, I'd rather rewatch older shows ad infinitum than this one--- even if time stopped.
