Plot Summary for 'Missing: The Other Side'
A Tale of Goodbyes
A man finds himself in a mysterious village that is home to people who have passed away but never been found. While the village is invisible to most of the living, he and one other resident seem to be the only ones who can see the “ghosts” of the missing. And since the two of them, unlike the unlucky towns’ people, are able to come and go from the village, they decide to help the people move on peacefully to the next life by gathering clues that can lead the police to the residents’ missing bodies.
My Thoughts on 'Missing: The Other Side'
My Personal Insights and Rating
‘Missing: The Other Side’ is a touching and emotional supernatural crime drama. The plot is unique and the individual stories are well-written. Don’t let the description fool you. This is not a spooky ghost story so much as a look at human loss and the ability to find closure. The crime cases do involve some violence but the scenes are not gory or scary.
As a drama that deals with the dead, this is a story of saying goodbye, and that can be sad and bittersweet. Also, the second season focuses primarily on children, which can be harder to watch. But I appreciated the fact that it doesn’t milk those emotions unnecessarily. On a strangely technical note, this series is currently only available if you have both Viki and Netflix. But if you have access to both, I highly recommend this interested and well-developed drama. I give ‘Missing: The Other Side’ a 9 out of 10 ramen.
