I'm so glad that this drama shifted it's focus away from romance like the earlier episodes. It just makes the show more enjoyable because this show isn't about romance, at the core its about morality and survival. However, I would love for every writer to learn from this - they used SDJ Eunnam's relationship as the catalyst. This show really stands out because it builds tension - slowly and deliberately and everyone has such high stakes that each character you can somewhat empathize with no matter how heinous they are. Soundtrack, Cinematography are cream of the crop.
As if the one episode a week isn't torture enough 😔
smh I know right. There's no reason for them to do 1 episode a week when there's no other dating shows airing. Like cmon man you wont experience a viewership drop if you pump out two a week.
Idk 7.9 seems kind of low this early. I'd say it's a solid 8.5 based on the first two eps. Not sure what it is but this seems like the perfect drama to watch as spring hits. It's not a very heavy story driven drama for sure so people should watch it for what it is, a light hearted romcom vibe.
Ok i didn't like that the restaurant and staff were all real like they own the restaurant and worked in it from…
I have to agree with you, and while I understand that Sixth Sense production team had to come up with something new, this is not it. I do like the fact that restaurant owners at least get to benefit from this, and I guess that it will cost the production team a lot less since they don't actually have to use someone's space and rebuilt it completely.
That being said, one of the core appeals of Sixth Sense was its ability to fully immerse both the cast and the audience in an elaborate deception. The thrilling part came from trying to find something that's a complete fake. The location, staff, and backstory were all fake. The sheer effort put into constructing these elaborate fakes elevated the show beyond a simple guessing game.
The new format in Sixth Sense: City Tour fundamentally weakens this premise. By keeping the restaurant and staff real and only introducing a single fake dish, the challenge loses its depth. Instead of engaging with a completely artificial environment that forces both the cast and viewers to scrutinize every detail, the game is reduced to identifying a menu item that seems out of place. This diminishes the intrigue and complexity and makes the "false" element more something that's an afterthought and not an important center of mystery.
My biggest gripe with this show is that it's not 10 episodes. I gave this show a chance, I'm actually caught up to the latest EP (12). I can't help but think about how I'm going to sit through the next 4 episodes lol. Also, I have to agree with the commenter below. The chemistry of the cast is lackluster to say the least.
The hosts were the undeniable saving grace of this season. Typically, I find extended host segments tedious, but in this case, their presence was essential—without them, I likely would have abandoned the show altogether. While it's common for viewers, including myself to chase the nostalgia of a first season, hoping to recapture that initial excitement, this season fell significantly short of doing anything close to that. I say this as someone who rarely critiques shows, as I believe every show has its own positives. That said, Single’s Inferno is beginning to feel fatigued, and I question how many more iterations the format can sustain. Netflix would be wise to introduce a fresh take on the dating genre because i can't see season 5 doing well.
K-dramas after 2021 have been mostly bland, but some recent ones are promising. 2013-2020 however, was a golden…
I get where you're coming from, but I think nostalgia plays a big role in this perception. Yes, pre-2018 K-dramas had more originality in some aspects, and certain tropes have been overused in recent years. But saying post-2021 K-dramas are mostly bland ignores some massive hits. Just to name a few that come to mind: Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022) – Beautifully written tbh. The Glory (2022-2023) – One of the best revenge dramas recently. Reborn Rich (2022) – Reincarnation plot done well, which is rare. Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) – Loved the legal aspect of the drama, but also the female lead. Moving (2023) The story-telling and emotional depth was crazy for this show.
Of course, this is your opinion which I respectfully disagree with. If you haven't watched the above shows I'd highly recommend it.
it will take at least 3 years for S2 to come, if it will...
Not really a question of if, more so when. Netflix would be stupid to not renew a season 2, unless they hate money. Especially since its #1 in Korea as well. Writer kinda already confirmed that S2/S3 was in mind when they made S1.
I don't know but I feel like people need to take a breather lol, two episodes in and there's way too much fuss and critique. Let's give it a fair chance guys.
I love how much depth each character had, no one seemed "useless" in the drama, all the actors did an immaculate job. I honestly knew from the get go how this show would end, and I'm kind of glad it ended the way it did because it added that much more feeling and felt very real. I bet this show hits very close to home for people who have experienced mourning.
