Missing: The Other Side (2020–2023)
6/10
Great idea but too slow
18 February 2023
Missing: The Other Side is similarly in concept to Hotel Del Luna., (which I absolutely loved). I really wanted to like this series, it had all the potential of a great series: ghosts, crime, mystery and hidden identity. However, the slower pace, drawn out plots, predictable character arcs and incoherent character stories lost a lot of points for me.

Missing became extremely dragging midpoint and some story points became fairly illogical (ie. Antagonist had the option to follow main character, choses not to but still ends up trying to trick him into a trap). These odd decisions leads the viewers in a long-winded route just to get back to the same spot.

The acting is great was the cast but the writing for the characters weren't as captivating as there was a lack of indepth development. Most of the character's main goal remains the same throughout and their decisions are made to prolong the series rather than logical.

There are many heartfelt moments in the series as certain characters moves on, but these moments were either dragged out or not developed enough.

If it had slightly faster pacing or less episode, it would have worked better.
