After many consecutive days of domination by Queen of Tears, another Korean movie is Parasyte: The Grey (Parasite: Gray Area) has officially risen to the top 1 position in terms of views on Netflix Vietnam. The work is inspired by the famous Japanese manga Kiseijū, directed by Yeon Sang Ho. This usurpation made many viewers really surprised because the movie was released at the same time as Queen of Tears was at its climax and had very good ratings.

Parasyte: The Gray rose to become the top 1 movie viewed on Netflix Vietnam.
The story begins when alien creatures called Parasites arrive on Earth and begin taking over humans by entering their bodies. They then begin to control their hosts' brains, memories, and behaviors.
Compared to the original comic book, the film changes many details. The main character changes gender from male to female. The setting chosen is Korea, where alien creatures have a greater purpose of world domination than simply eating humans. However, things did not go according to plan when an individual carrying Heidi decided to save the host Jung Soo In (Jeon So Nee) and gave birth to a strange symbiotic phenomenon.

After its release, Parasyte: The Gray immediately became a topic discussed by many Vietnamese netizens. The initial comments were quite multi-dimensional, full of both praise and criticism. Most praised the entertainment of the work, especially the beautiful visuals. The visual and performance of the main actors Jeon So Nee – Koo Kyo Hwan are also considered to be the big highlights of the film.
However, many opinions say that the work does not fully convey the appeal of the original comic book, not even as good as the live-action version previously produced in Japan. One reason given is that because the movie only has 6 episodes, it progresses a bit quickly.

Some audience comments about the movie:
– Anyone who has watched the anime and manga will find the Korean version bad.
– If you don't compare it with the original, the movie is watchable. Watch all 6 episodes in one go.
– It's not scary to watch, but the female lead is crazy beautiful.
– Koo Kyo Hwan is so handsome.
– Although the variations of the supporting characters look a bit strange, the variation of the female lead looks cool.
– The female lead is beautiful to my liking. After watching the movie, I immediately looked for her Instagram. However, the film progresses a bit quickly and is a bit frustrating at some parts. In return, the emotional flow of the film is stable, and there are a few climaxes that are still smooth.
