a really good season! the participants are very likable and of course very intelligent! i enjoyed the puzzles and games very much. they're definitely more complex than the first season.
if you found this season entertaining then i highly recommend watching the behind the scenes on youtube (coupang play)!! they're all subbed and really fun to listen to the commentary and hear the players explain their thought processes behind their decisions and strategies.

i just finished this one and all i can say is that right from the start i wanted the misogynistic ass steve to shut the fuck up and leave 💀 overall i enjoyed seeing xitsuh, HJH, acau, seongbeom, and of course goat JDM's plays! and people like yurisa, pani, chungju man definitely spiced things up LOL they have their fair share of entertaining moments. i was looking forward to seeing MJ again society game!! she is quite lowkey throughout the season though! and i felt very bad for hyeseon for being in the midst of a lot of alpha males... yikes. and also, gina is just whiny and annoyed me a lot. i felt that in general she didn't value add much to her alliances either.
a girl that is pretending to be in high school is actually training to be a kpop idol. she gets pregnant and literally gives birth in school by herself! completely no visible physical changes to her body or whatsoever and it's even more insane that she gets up and starts talking to her classmates right after the birth like there is no way her body would have that much energy... even for a makjang this is too much for me lmao 😂
i love marriage of convenience tropes but i'm dropping this unfortunately! the ML's acting is so-so i'm ngl and the way his character is treating the FL is toxic. i like watching jdramas but cringey romance plots like these really gotta stop :(
on a completely unrelated note, thank you to this drama for introducing me to ChoQMay, their music is really good. 😌
What the hell did I just watch? So he essentially sees her as an escort, pretend marriage and sex but no feelings…
right?! i feel like a lot of japanese dramas are based on mangas clearly intended as pure fantasy and not something meant to be acted out irl because the relationships usually come across as toxic or just plain weird
“Uwu I grew up poor and felt inadequate so that’s why I raped her!” Boo hoo Stfu mfer you pos rot in hell
literally infuriating! and the way their parents defended them by saying she had consensual sex with them because they were all "dating"?!?! i couldnt even believe my ears.
oh i meant the actor playing the ML! i first watched him in mr sunshine and i absolutely love that show. it's one of my all time top kdramas. he acted in six flying dragons and misaeng too & i enjoyed both of them also.
i love this drama! i picked it up because i love byun yohan's shows and it's possibly one of the better thrillers…
don't get me started on the lack of remorse none of the perpetrators have ... begging for ML to write an appeal letter is actually insane. and the most annoying award truly has to go to gutak's lackey. i don't even remember his name but he is seriously so delusional and so insistent on jeongwoo being the killer like please wake up 🤮
i love this drama! i picked it up because i love byun yohan's shows and it's possibly one of the better thrillers i've seen in a while. i feel like the pacing was a bit draggy in the beginning but it picks up after a few eps! the characters are well written and i get really infuriated by their behaviour every episode lmao but i guess that means the actors did very well :) oh and i love the bromance between the 2 MLs HAHA very cute!
