Being the most popular doesn't mean being the original. That's very different.

Episode 6, why?! 😭

I love long conversations in jdramas as long as they make sense. This drama is one of those that have thoughtful long dialogues. It makes the whole interaction more emotional and realistic. This is just my preference though.

I'm at episode 4 and I'm really amazed by the writing. The time travel plot was used right. I'm thankful that it was added to Netflix so I get the chance to watch it.

My least favorite right now is episode 2 because of the constant shouting of the son to his Mom. I just don't like how he expressed his feelings. His facial expressions also bothered me.

Wow. I'm not aware of Deadman Wonderland since I'm not an avid anime watcher. But reading the plot, Squid Game must be based mostly from that. Then the idea of using children's games from As The Gods Will.

Having VIPs and game sponsors aren't unique plot in death games. Even "The Hunger Games" has it.

Killing life for a huge amount and getting shot if rules are disobeyed aren't new plot at all.

Just continue, it's very different from Squid Game.

Also, Squid Game isn’t the first to come up with this kind of plot. If you’re aware of the 2000 Japanese movie Battle Royale and the many other Japanese films about death games, you wouldn’t think that way about Last Samurai Standing. Japan has been using this plot for decades, and Korea has only just started. If anything, Squid Game is the one that copied.

They just can’t accuse Japan of plagiarism like that. Hope that helps 😊.

I just finished it last night and now I want to rewatch it again. Thinking about it the whole day since I woke up. That's how good it is! ✨️

Finally. But it deserves at least 8.5

As expected of Kaya Kiyohara, she always nails every character she’s given. I’m really rooting for her to get more projects.

As for Last Man Standing, it kept me awake past midnight. This is the kind of show only Japan can make, I guess.

10/10 ✨️

But there are jdramas with good acting and a natural feel. Have you watched "First Love: Hatsukoi" and "Beyond Goodbye"? Those are my definition of perfect visuals and acting-wise.

I won’t deny that some of the characters in this series act weird sometimes, but I still liked it.

That would be nice if that happens. 6 episodes are just not enough!

After years of looking for HD copies of this drama, I've finally found it here:

Thank you so much! Been waiting for this! 🫶

Drama Otaku has raws. But you also need to register. There are just limited slots.

You should try "Learning to Love" if you're looking for something good. It's on Netflix.

Japan is making really great dramas since 2021.

Thanks! I'm new to discord and I just joined from the link on his/her wordpress. I don't have any idea how things work there HAHA I'll read the procedure.

You mean Hiyori Sakurada? WDYM? She did well here for me.

Please, someone pick this up for english sub. I want to watch it badly. I think I should really learn japanese now HAHA

Ouch.
