"Save Me" is one of those dramas that makes you take a step back and take in what you see. It left room for afterthought and gave more room for discussion which is not something that you find regularly. Everything from the cast to the OST captured what the writing was trying to accomplish.

Seo Ye ji and Woo Do Hwan are the ones who carried the drama in terms of emotional range. They demonstrated everything of what the scene needed to display. The thing however, that I enjoyed most was the use of the side characters and how this was not just mainly focused on the story of the cult but also about political corruption. I also loved how they were used for more than just comedic relief but also served a purpose to move the plot.

The only complaint I had with the plot was that the reason for the homeless people dying was never really shown and seemed like an unnecessary plot device to make the cult look worse (not that it needed any help in doing that).

I also enjoyed that they did not use romance in any portion of the show, because if we are being honest it would have been to much if they added that to the plot. So instead they left that for after the drama with an open ending on that effect.

Would I recommend this drama?

Yes, but I do issue a warning that it is darker and does have a few trigger warning topics such as suicide and sexual assault.
