The hottest drama in 2021 is the Korean drama "Squid Game", which has become a phenomenon-level drama that is popular all over the world, and Korean dramas have finally shined in the international film industry.
Following "Squid Game", Netflix was full of fire, offering a series of original Korean dramas, including "My Name", "Hell's Minister", etc., but unfortunately it did not explode in the end.
On December 24, Netflix presented another Korean drama "Silent Sea", a science fiction work, the cast is as luxurious as "Squid Game", bringing together Actors such as Bae Doona, Kong Liu, Lee Joon, Heo Sung-tae, Kim Sun-young and so on.
Pei Doona and Kong Liu joined forces, "Silent Sea" has a super cast, and it is a science fiction drama, which has long detonated expectations, but unfortunately, this one is still not "Squid Game" fire after all.
On the first day of broadcasting, "Silent Sea" won the 7th place on the Netflix TV series chart, and after three days of launch, it rushed from 7th to 4th.
Although it is not as popular as "Squid Game", it is also a high-rated Korean drama on the Netflix platform.
In terms of word-of-mouth, "Silent Sea" is not as good as "Squid Game". At present, "Silent Sea" has a score of 7.1 points on the IMDb platform, while "Squid Games" has a score of 8.0 points on the IMDb platform, which is a certain gap.
On the Douban platform, the reputation of "Silent Sea" is even worse, only to be scored 6.4 points, for a Korean drama, such a reputation is of course a bit bad, after all, Korean dramas in the Douban platform often have a high score.
Recently, "Silent Sea" was also exposed to plagiarize the 2009 British drama "Doctor Who: Water of Mars", which is a classic science fiction drama with a douban score of 9.1 and has fallen into controversy, while previously, "Silent Sea" claimed to be based on the short film of the same name.
Judging from the first two episodes, "Silent Sea" is indeed a mediocre work, and it has not brought surprises, science fiction themes, Korean dramas are still not played well after all.
