I love how people were complaining earlier about JDM’s sheepy, follower-like teammates, but look at what happened…
Ikr!! Seongbeom’s laughter was so out of character that it was freaky, the tension and stress there must have really piled up on him.
As for the girls, I mean in this case MJ volunteered herself and picked Hyeseon, while JDM chose Mina—apart from his mentioned reason, it was the best choice if he wanted MJ to survive in the deathmatch (since the remaining 3 were Xitsuh/Acau/Seongbeom). So it was kinda of an it is what it is situation instead of a gender thing (from my perspective).
dk what viewing lens some of you guys have, but obviously we want the most competent and skilled players to go…
I love how people were complaining earlier about JDM’s sheepy, follower-like teammates, but look at what happened now—he’s the only one on the opposite team in that devil team of 4, but he’s still single-handedly carrying their asses. Meanwhile, Steve (who thinks he’s good at Mafia games but is actually terrible at them) did nothing, while Eonkyu uselessly trolled the game (what is bro thinking fr).
Steve got lucky that he got saved once again…
Xitsuh played well, but JDM angle of approach and words were just too convincing and logical so I don’t blame him tbh.
And what was that boring ahh deathmatch game? Felt like they were just mindlessly building their own areas on the fly with no clear strategy in mind.
dk what viewing lens some of you guys have, but obviously we want the most competent and skilled players to go far in such brainy survival game show. you might not like JDM, but you can’t deny hes the strongest player this season by far and for me it wasn’t as annoying since he has the skills to back it up, and he proves it so every time unlike people like steve and eonkyu, who blunders here and there/do poorly in contrast to their high-horse tone. afterall, there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance and it’s separated by their results/performance.
Ep10: super individualist yurisa playing as a team? the world must be ending... jokes aside, it’s really nice to watch her play when she’s motivated, girl is really only willing to play with people she acknowledges intellectually eh. also, she wasn’t lying about the altar mentioned earlier on too
yeah agreed! I usually skip a lot, but I didn't for eps 9. Something always happened each rounds, they think all…
Will have to see if Seong Beom will keep the teams exactly the same or not first since he’s the winner. I’m sure MJ had some input during their discussion but it probably didn’t air since it wasn’t that significant/or of a gamechanger degree, and from that I’d also guess that she probably wouldn’t make a deep run? Since she’s basically given zero screentime lol, we shall see.
Ep 9 was so good. I really hope this will bring out the competitiveness that’s slumbering (kinda) in Jinho and he will take on a more proactive role. Jang Dongmin has been going all-out since he respect, and are aware of Jinho’s capabilities after being friends with him for so many years. Some people will probably hate on Yurisa’s play after this, but honestly it’s very fitting with her character in bloody game so far, so I wasn’t that surprised by the ‘damage’, even as a huge fan of Jinho who is cheering for him too. I really liked that Jinho accepted the result (with grace imo), even though he’s still mad which is perfectly understandable. He understands that ‘that’ is part of the play and essence of the survival game itself, so he doesn’t whine like some others would. Still I’m looking forward to his revenge or counterattack in the subsequent games. The cast gets along fine in irl if you watch their episode reviews so I hope people will not take the context out of the game itself too seriously. I’m actually happy that Hyunseo got dropped but Pani Bottle was like a honest comic relief character who is fun to keep around and have playmaking potential, but I agree that skill takes precedence in such a show so, oh well. JDM as always, a MONSTER RAHHHHH.
jang dongmin has said himself before that he has a personality where he must see things through to the end—almost to an obsessive degree, which I think is one of his most admirable qualities as you can always tell the effort and depth of thinking he puts in each time. I think this heavily translates to his playstyle as well—he almost always takes into account every element or factor that can give him or his team an edge, whether psychological or not. Just like what jinho mentioned in Ep 1, he definitely steeled himself this time around, pulling every means to secure victory (which imo is the essence of bloody game). Bloody victory, ugly victory—whatever it takes, as long as it’s a win. However, because of this perfectionist-like tendency, his playstyle can feel suffocating, almost like a control freak, which can easily rub people the wrong way (I wouldn’t be surprised if it backfires too during the later stage). I also like hyeseon, but the injustice she suffered from jang dongmin’s end is tbh fair play from the perspective of the "bloody" aspect of the game. I’m somehow more put off by steve yea and the lawyer hyunseo dude because of their stuck-up and condescending(?) demeanor. Maybe it might just be a subconscious defense mechanism they adopt when faced with stronger players, making them present themselves more aloof than they usually are in order to keep others in check (like how jinho seems to be more reserved and takes a backseat this time, if you know what I mean). But I just don’t vibe with the energy those two give off, though I’m glad steve finally showed some worth (albeit still not enough) to justify his No.1 Korean Poker Player title.
As for Gina’s case, everyone on the team is obviously at fault here. Yurisa is right that everyone was just trying to self-justify in their own way to avoid going to the deathmatch. While I agree that it’s baffling how tf Gina could make such a simple calculation error (95-36) even after checking multiple times, the rest should have reviewed the work at least once, no matter how inept they claim their arithmetic are. It’s basic team responsibility, and it’s absolutely careless and selfish for the rest to take such a fully hands-off approach and just push the blame to her. Idk why Xitsuh was so careless this time either, choosing to just trust others to check while he ran off to search instead (did he not check once too?). And how much funds do each of them have? Did Xitsuh my bro bought an extra vote as a safety net just incase Gina buys votes? Like bro do you have to 💀
oh well, enough of the team plays, time for the individual games to filter out the true gold from the dirt.
Edit: oops I might have yapped a little too much lol, but I forgot to mention that there’s a reason why jinho is always a fan favourite in survival shows. He consistently shows a balanced, humane, and logical side with class. If he weren’t there, I doubt the two egoistical steve and hyunseo would take the initiative to sit down and have a proper conversation with hyeseon lol.
It was broadcasting in real-time in korea when it was interrupted halfway by the martial law news, so it was suspended. As far as I know they planned to start again on the 10th, but I can’t be 100% sure.
My 14 year old son highly enjoyed playing along with the story solving mission in episode 3. I was curious if…
Not sure if there are such specific products out there but online you can find such story-solving missions by searching for situation puzzles/lateral thinking puzzles or yes/no riddles. Just pick a few scenario that you think is interesting and host the game for him. I used to play those deduction games with friends back in school. Good times.
season 1 horror episode is far more terrifying lol
To each their own, but I disagree. I think this season handled the atmospheric horror the best and at keeping the tension unlike the previous seasons where it can get repetitive after a while with the straight in the face jumpscare, if you know what I mean.

Edit: I found a good website for it — https://yesnogame.net/en/rules
It should be done by then.

Early stages of planning so basically still not 100% confirm it will be back, new pd, no mention about the casts either, but keeping the hope alive.
