Happiness - Full Review

The Story

 

A mysterious virus is spreading through Seoul that turns normal people into flesh-eating monsters.  In an effort to isolate the fast-spreading disease, government officials quarantine a new, high-rise apartment building that has had multiple cases.  As stress and distrust build, residents inside the building enter into a class war between those who live on the upper floors and have purchased their apartments and those on the lower floors who are leasing.  While most of those inside fight for peace and unity, a few will instigate divisiveness to protect their own, personal agendas.

Should I Watch

 

Happiness - Unspoiled Review

"Happiness" was more "human" than I expected.  While there is plenty of action and some blood, it is not dark or gory.  It's really a story of human nature and how crisis can reveal our true values and character.  This story is not deep or complicated.  The good guys are good and the bad guys are bad.  We are meant to sit back, root for good to triumph, and enjoy the show.  The leads were great together and their understated chemistry really carried the series. .  If you are looking for an upbeat drama with some excitement and plenty of heart, this is a great choice.   I give "Happiness" a 9 out of 10 ramen.
