It is not recommended for those of you who don't like scenes of violence and oppression as well as excessive revenge, don't watch this drama. Because the drama genre "makjang" is like this, the storyline drains emotions and makes the audience feel annoyed because the victim or righteous person in this drama will continue to be evil and treated badly by a group of selfish, greedy people who do everything they can to be at the top, making money is all about power and demeaning other people, especially committing cruel acts against anyone for one's own desires. Honestly, I also felt bored with the storyline at the beginning but I was also curious about what the continuation of this drama would be like, whether seven people with evil hearts would get revenge or not. I was still waiting for that episode.

Korean Drama '' The Escape of the Seven : War for Survival '' is a thiller-melodrama.

The drama has a strong start, hooking the viewer with its frustrating plot and the truly evil main leads who will stop at nothing in order to satisfy their egoistic needs.

And yet, in the second half, things got too ridiculous, even for a melodrama. And it also got boring, as it lost its sense of purpose, and changed its story all together, but without a satisfying result.

Also, the use of technology was eye rolling and only there to cover up twists that either backfired or were too out of hand to handle.

The performances, finally, were enjoyable and just right for the genre.

So, overall, five out of ten.

I used to like the drama as was expecting sense of justice in the end. The drama was brutal that it felt like the writer and producer were having a good laugh in front of my face as I felt helpless and stressed while watching it because I'm just a viewer that invested time following and watching this s...d plot twist. Pure evil. I can't feel the justice and making me feel like it's just normal in the real world. Every action and decisions of the characters as the series progress, were becoming more and more st.p.d and BS. Also, these characters shouldn't be converted or put into the other side of spectrum, whatever effort they put into, should remain unlikable due to their decisions and actions from the earlier episode.

I'm still looking forward for a good ending that will embody and promote goodness and fairness.

OMG PLSS WHOEVER DIDN'T WATCH THIS DRAMA FROM EP 1 OR QUIT WHILST WATCHING IT PLSSSSS I BEG YOU GIVE IT A CHANCE OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS SHOCKED IN MY LIFE LIKE PLSS JUST GIVE IT ONE CHANCE. THERE IS ALSO MANY SPECIAL APPEARANCE IN THIS SHOW AND I LOVE IT. LITERALLY GOT ME HOOKED UP SINCE THE BEGINNING AND I HOPE THE ENDING WON'T RUIN IT IT'S GOING SO WELL.(tbh I feel like I'm almost having a heart attack because of this show I've literally been screaming because of this ONE'S EP LIKE AHAHAHHEHRHRRHRRRRPLS GO NAD GET YOUR POPCORN OR ANY SNACK FOR THAT MATTER AND GET YOUR BUT DOWN AN WATCH NOW.

17 hours of people screaming and crying. It's shock drama with no substance whatsoever. The show is so incredibly shallow it's hard to even describe. You are guaranteed every ~30 seconds someone is going to have a mental breakdown, scream hysterically, start crying, commit child abuse, or just generally collapse from too much drama. The plot is absolutely ridiculous and feels more like a random event generator. People will come out of nowhere to reveal some huge drama event and then everyone overreacts, repeat x1000. Watching this feels more like a punishment than something you would actually sit down and enjoy.

I was really intrigued by the concept of the series, the first four episodes have been so good that I have been wondering how the rest of it is gonna go, right from the first episode, this drama already sets the stakes so high. You really cannot stop watching and already want to see what will happen in the next episode, I kinda wish I was binging this instead cause waiting a week for the next two episodes is mentally draining, you literally cannot guess what will happen next.

Whilst it is similar to the usual backbiting and manipulating concepts in Kdrama, this takes a whole new fresh look on things and puts things more into perspective. You can understand why each character's motive and actions, they are all driven by greed and selfishness. This is a really great drama, I am highly anticipating the rest of it.

I have had it on my watchlist since the first quarter of the year, and I have to say it has more than met my expectations so far.

Escape of 7 sticks to the writer's usual style, offering a story that feels too familiar. The plot is filled with ridiculous twists, making it hard to take seriously. Unfortunately, the characters don't grow or change throughout, leaving much to be desired. The constant attempts to expose each other in the media become repetitive, and the awkward product placements turn intense moments into unintentional comedy. Overall, it's a missed opportunity for something fresh and engaging.

As the narrative unfolds, it becomes painfully evident that the writer relies heavily on a formulaic approach. Each dramatic twist feels like a recycled version of previous works, creating a sense of predictability that hampers any hope for genuine surprise or excitement.

Character development, a crucial element in any drama, is sorely lacking in Escape of 7. Viewers are left yearning for a more profound connection with the characters, as their actions and motivations become increasingly difficult to empathize with. The opportunity for personal growth or introspection is squandered, leaving the audience detached from the emotional core of the story.

One of the most glaring issues lies in the writer's persistent reliance on sensationalism through media exposure. While the initial attempts to expose characters to the public eye may provide some intrigue, the repetitive nature of these plot devices quickly wears thin. It becomes apparent that this is a narrative crutch, a convenient tool used to manufacture conflict without the need for genuine, character-driven storytelling.

In conclusion, Escape of 7 is a disappointment for anyone seeking a fresh and compelling drama. The lack of originality, character development, and the intrusive product placements collectively contribute to a film that falls short of its potential. While there are moments of fleeting entertainment, they are overshadowed by the broader issues plaguing the narrative. This serves as a reminder that even a star-studded cast and a promising concept cannot salvage a film when hindered by a predictable plot and lackluster execution.

PURE GARBAGE. I saw the first episode and it made me hate every single character. Do show makers do it on purpose? Ot make every character detestable? A lot of yelling, screaming, cunning behaviour. I wasted 45 mins watching the episode and I hate every single aspect of this show. There is no good music, no good characters, no story. If the first episode doesn't draw you in, why would anyone continue watching this garbage? Koreon shows are actually pretty good but their quality has disappeared. The stories are pretty predictable. Not a singles show in 2023 that I liked except for taxi driver season 2. Everything else was mediocre at best. I hated the penthouse and the same makers bring that flavour into this show and it sucked really bad.

It didn't take much for me to drop this garbage show. Three of the 5 characters scream at the top of their lungs in the course of conversation, violently lose their tempers within seconds and basically act psychotic. I don't recognize a single cast member, which shouldn't matter, but it appears no one with any sense got involved in this disaster.

I have dropped a show after one episode but I gave up on this in the MIDDLE of the first episode. I was done 37 minutes into a 1.5 hour episode.

I absolutely don't care what happens from this moment forward. The plot appears to be about 7 people who attempt to escape from an island filled with, you guessed it, psychotic, violent people. Let them have at it.

I'm out.

The first three episodes have you believing this will end in justice for who we thought was the main character or at least a plausibly infuriating stifling of justice that was inevitable. However, by episode two you'll be quite annoyed and irritated by the tantrums and meltdowns. Like another reviewer said, no conversations, just arguments.

In reality, you get completely unrealistic twists and an inconsistent story line. I quit at episode 6. I don't need to waste any more hours of my extremely finite life.

Was this really supposed to be so drama filled that every 10 minutes offered a new crisis or molehill turned mountain? There wasn't even a great reason for certain characters to accept the bullying/abuse. The series glosses over major issues that could have been turned realistic. The "7" were all connected in the laziest way.

Save yourself. It didn't have to be predictable, but it should have at least been creatively logical.
