Bloody Game

A Disaster-Class on what not to do in Survival Shows

I read a comment that summed up this cast that said "We have people wanting to lose on purpose out of sympathy, people who don't know what the fuck they want to do in this game and end up voting for themselves, people who want to intentionally help a player because he's good looking." Watch and see exactly why the majority did not return, even in season 3.

I'll add on that it feels miraculous this got more seasons when they literally casted two legendary Genius participants to mock their cast almost every episode for making questionable plays in games that were subpar compared to the concept that promised betrayals, revenge, and "anything goes" behavior to win.

On the bright side, we got an iconic performance from Jimin and better changes in the following seasons.

It lacks

Bloody Game has a familiar set up with a twist. It should have been much better than it was, and yet it's mediocre. The games are fairly boring and the editing does not create tension nor interest, especially towards the end. Most of the participants were just ok. Their personalities overall wouldn't have brought me back each week. The Pizza Box Crew was intriguing. . I found them interesting and fun to watch.

I think what Bloody Game sorely lacked was direction and writing. It seemed to flounder. The games were too long and boring. That may be an editing failure. I don't know. Perhaps if you like shows like Big Brother where you just watch people in a house, you'll enjoy it more. However, if you prefer shows more like The Mole or Devil's Plan, you will probably feel the same as me and many others judging by the comments on this page.

The case was mid. I don't know if they were generally just boring people, or if the editing was just that bad. Very few players thought strategically. Dex is easy on the eyes so you can't possibly vote him out. Huh? My man, Dex, was wasted on this show. This was the first time I watched a Korean show that had the panel like it was ESPN. At first I was annoyed, but as they began voicing my opinions with and exasperation from scene to scene, I began to look forward to seeing them. It felt like I had a group of people I was watching with.

The music...was there music? LOL I don't know. I didn't pay any attention to it nor did I care. In case you haven't guessed, the re-watch value is nil, nada, non-existent.

Bloody Game is eh. Some of the players were interesting, most weren't. Watch for the Pizza Box Crew. They steal the show, literally.
