Korean Drama '' The Escape of the Seven : War for Survival '' is a thiller-melodrama.

The drama has a strong start, hooking the viewer with its frustrating plot and the truly evil main leads who will stop at nothing in order to satisfy their egoistic needs.

And yet, in the second half, things got too ridiculous, even for a melodrama. And it also got boring, as it lost its sense of purpose, and changed its story all together, but without a satisfying result.

Also, the use of technology was eye rolling and only there to cover up twists that either backfired or were too out of hand to handle.

The performances, finally, were enjoyable and just right for the genre.

So, overall, five out of ten.
