Parasyte: The Grey
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
Parasyte: The Grey (2024, South Korea)
Director: Yeon Sang Ho
Writers: Yeon Sang Ho & Ryu Yong Jae (based on the manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki)
Mini-review:
I enjoyed this way more than I expected. I was a pretty big fan of the anime that aired a decade ago, so I was worried about this adaptation. But that wasn't necessary: instead of making a simple live-action remake, they tried to approach the story from a different point of view, making sure it could coexist in the original manga's universe (as shown by the very last scene). That being said, this one doesn't delve too much into its themes, opting instead to focus on the horror and action elements. And damn, it does deliver. The action scenes make great use of the parasytes' "tentacles", and they're shot with some stunning camerawork. Yeon Sang Ho's directing fires on all cylinders, more than making up for the pretty mediocre CGI. It also helps that the cast does fantastic job. So yeah, Parasyte: The Grey might not be as deep as it could, but if you're in the mood for a thrilling horror-action spectacle, then you should give it a try.

Parasyte the Grey. 9
Story: 9
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10
Comparable to: Sweet Home (kdrama); Peninsula (kdrama) ; Imawa no Kuni no Alice (kdrama)
Based off the manga series. It took me by surprise by even hooking me in during the first episode. It quite a quick series, fast pace. it’s 6 episodes in length and balanced perfectly. The cast is amazing and the cgi wasn’t too overly done. It’s an awesome horror/sci fi kdrama to add to the fav list.
