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.
The hot dog stand (Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur) mentioned in episode 8 brings back some fond memories. I visited Iceland a few years ago with my family, and that hot dog was no joke, one of the best I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’d highly recommend it if you ever visit Iceland ;)
so it's only 6 eps which is basically just 2 eps, too short, :(made me miss Great Escape a lot T_T The cast here…
As much as I love for what you said to happen, we won’t be getting another season of “The Great Escape” sadly becuz JJY PD has long left tvN (2022) to join TEO. That’s why he’s also not the PD for “Girls High School Mystery Class Season 3” since he passed it down to someone else :(( Now we can only hope he will make another similar show with the same cast from “The Great Escape” (but I’ll say the chances ain’t high as the substitute seems to be Agents of Mystery). Maybe they can appear as guests temporary idk. “Agents of Mystery Season 2” would be more likely tbh, considering that “The Devil’s Plan” got itself an upcoming Season 2.
YESSSS the crew is back again! kinda sad that V won’t be taking part this season due to military service but i’m excited for Go Min-si as the new intern :) hopefully wooshik will banter with her since they apparently knew each other before from filming for The Witch: Part 1.
Dull, bad theatre, a simplistic linear mess.5/10 at bestTry these instead:The Time HotelBloody Game 1 & 2The Devil's…
Add in “Elite League” and it will be a comprehensive list for those type of shows you mentioned. (“Society Game” could also squeeze in, tho the production isn’t exactly high quality visuals-wise).
But tbh “Agents of Mystery” belongs to a ‘different type’ of show that should only be compared with shows like “The Great Escape”, so it isn’t exactly fair to mention and compare with those imo.

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.
