To be honest I wasn't sure about making a review about an unfinished drama but some people asked me my opinion about this one and I think it will be useful for those people who are trying to decide what to watch.
I just started to watching ongoing k-dramas recently. I used to hate having to wait for a new episode but when my college exams season started I thought that it's better to watch ongoing k-dramas than finished ones, that way I wouldn't make marathons and I'll be able to manage better my studies.
This drama is pretty different from what I was used to watch. You won't understand what's happening in the first episode and slowly they will explain to you.
Be ready for a really nerve-wrecking drama, full of mystery and a very dark one. Seriously this k-drama turned myself into a murdered in my mind since I killed so many characters in my imagination. You'll hate 99% of the characters and their punishment will take long to come.
I don't know if I'll be able to watch 16 episodes if there aren't any kind of punishment for the bad guys. It gets on my nerves.
The story is really dark (beatings, blood, corruption, sexual abuse, bullying, a religious cult, etc) so If you can't handle it I don't think this will be the right drama for you.
The religious cult is the main plot and I thought it would be nonsense and boring but actually it works pretty well. It shows the need to believe in after life in order to live and the power that religion can have in week minds or people who are facing difficulties.
I'm liking so far but I don't know if they will have space to make a bigger/better plot. It's all about saving a girl so I guess there's not much room to make plot twists or something like that. I just hope it won't be like "now you're captured, now you're not, now you're here again, now you're free again".
For now, I give it an 8 out of 10 since there's much more to develop and when the drama is finished I'll make a proper review.

Since then I realize that watching ongoing dramas is pretty good and that time you have to wait actually grabs you more into the drama.
So now talking about the drama.
I was waiting for this one before airing because of Ok Taec Yeon (member of 2pm). I liked so much "Let's fight, ghost" but I think he needs to develop his acting skills so I wanted to watch more dramas with him to see if he increases his skills. However, when I read the synopsis of "Save me" I was disappointed. It didn't grab my attention, I felt like this drama would be shitty but since I planned to watch beforehand I decided to give it a try.
Here's the synopsis
-Synopsis-
A girl is surrounded by suspicious people and quietly whispers, “Save me!” in a dark neighborhood alleyway, and a couple of unemployed youths hear her and run to her rescue. They discover that she’s trapped in some kind of pseudo-religious cult and try to help her, but what ensues is a sequence of horrifying tension-filled events that make us wonder more about the science of the human psyche.
Thank god I give it a try!
