Another must-see project from genre master Takashi Miike -now in his 60s and with over 100 titles under box belt the Japanese director still has a lot of artistic verve left in store and Connect now streaming on DisneyPlus, DisneyPlus HotstarAnother must-see project from genre master Takashi Miike -now in his 60s and with over 100 titles under box belt the Japanese director still has a lot of artistic verve left in store and Connect now streaming on DisneyPlus, DisneyPlus Hotstar and Hulu in the US is another fine example of his skills. His first foray into the Kdrama world infuses Kdrama tropes with his own spin in this sci-fi -crime thriller. Lead actor Jung Haein, a major star in Korea (DP, Snowdrop, Tune in for Love, Something in the Rain) shows range and great emotional depth once again showing why he has a growing fan base globally. Kim Hye Jun and Go Kyung Pyo round out the stellar cast - don’t miss this Expand

It is so refreshing when a director tries to create something different. This is not your typical Kdrama. I love how music was used to interweave various aspects of the series.

I love how music was used to interweave various aspects of the series. I appreciate that this series is driven by its characters where their plight is relatable at its core... loneliness, connecting, acceptance, quest for immortality and long life. Expand

I watch way to many TV show and films, but it is very rare that I actually get so touched by a character in a series/film based on seeing myself in that persons shoes. Jung HaeIn brought to life Ha Dong-soo and I am able to relate. TheI watch way to many TV show and films, but it is very rare that I actually get so touched by a character in a series/film based on seeing myself in that persons shoes. Jung HaeIn brought to life Ha Dong-soo and I am able to relate. The emotions I felt via his eyes (one at that) as he struggles through the loneliness, isolation, wanting to connect, but unable to, how to have an ability that needs to be downplayed believing I can get acceptance and not get attention, struggling to accept who I am when you believe that most people dislike you. I love that the series at its core touch on real life struggles. Jung HaeIn potrayal brought me to tears. Expand

Nothing is as it seems in Connect. As in all of Takashi Miike's works.
You see a series with a lot of action, but what they tell you is an intimate story.
There is blood and violence, but the most significant pain is in the soul.
There is a terrible 'villain', but the story leaves you with the realisation that the real villains are those you meet every day, society hurts you more than any villain.
Then, the meaning of it all: it is a story about loneliness, yet it screams at you loudly that the key is in bringing loneliness together, in facing what comes 'together'.
"Connected", even more than Connect.
The depth and beauty of this tale are only possible thanks to Takashi Miike's art, spectacular cinematography, a soundtrack that bewitches your heart, and a cast that to call it stellar seems reductive.
