With the recent release of Disney+'s new K-drama The Tyrant, fans have asked, "Why is the show so dark." We break down why! Read on to find out more about this exciting new series!
On August 12, 2024, K-drama actors Kim Seon Ho, Cha Seung Won, Kim Kang Woo, and Jo Yoon Soo showcased their talents in a new Disney+ series about the race to find a stolen bioweapon TheTyrant. When I heard the genre of the new series, I was excited. I love to watch thriller/horror-style shows as they are more engaging and entertaining.
Let's take a look at the teaser trailer!
As you can see in the official trailer, the teasers for the series promised an action-packed thriller that focuses on a dark subject matter, but The Tyrant for some people has been literally too dark to watch at times.
Here the fans are not actually talking about the plot and story line being to dark to engage with, but more the fact that some of the scenes were literally filmed in the dark, which made it hard to make out what was happening. Now, I am all about creating a mood, however having watched it for myself I totally agree. During some of the action scenes or tense scenes it was very hard to see what was going on, which unfortunately spoiled the mood for me.
In addition to this, like most modern dramas, when the series started it dived right into a storyline, which I had no idea what was happening as I had no background information, so on top of not really being able to see what was going on, I had to try and piece together clues.
This led me to think that perhaps there had been some big budget cuts or even a power cut while filming. With most of the scenes being too dark to watch, will the overall ratings and success be a flop?
