Eps 7-10 were always supposed to be released on December 8. Just a few days now.
The schedule is a bit weird. The first two episodes were released on monday and Tuesday on TVN and it kept this schedule, but then tving released the whole first half on the next Friday. Tvn kept releasing two episodes at week on mondays and Tuesday, I think they released episode 5 and 6 this week. So now we wait for tving to release the whole second half on 8th December, in a few days. It's weird, I know.
Bargain was nominated at the critics choice awards for best foreign language series. Congrats! It really deserves the awards for being one of the most unique shows out there
When you make a comment here, there is an option to hide spoilers. Please use it, it's just one bottom. Stop spoiling the ending here, seriously. I don't even care about spoilers myself, but it's unrespectful when half of the comments in this comment section are talking about something that hasn't happened yet.
This was aired with english subs on tvn Asia last Saturday to Monday. All 6 episodes. Unfortunately, I checked…
Let's hope someone ripped them (is this how it's called?) somehow. Anyway, if eng subs were released, even if for a brief time, it might be that we won't wait too long before Paramount releases them as well. I'm still hoping that they'll do it before Christmas.
I can't believe how much I loved it. I thought The Deal was going to be my kdrama of the year, but this one is the winner, unless they drop the ball in the final four episodes. I was on the edge of my seat all the time.
Part2 Trailer 🔥🔥https://youtu.be/cVM9RqvieaE?si=iN-6aKEaVPzHcaGUReleasing on 8/12
The I Saw the Devil vibes are so real here, I can't wait!! But where is Lee Jung Eun? The fact that she doesn't appear in the trailer at all worries me.
This is going straight to my favorites. It's a shame that it's so underrated and unknown. I recommend it to everyone who loves darker dramas and who, like me, is tired of convoluted storyline in thrillers and too much melodrama. This one is short and simple, but very intense and emotional.
The leading trio (and the other actors too, to a lesser degree) did an excellent job here; they didn't overact, but instead they delivered a performance that felt raw and genuine. Not only they did justice to the script, but they also elevated it.
Another thing I appreciated is how grey this is: there is no explicit moral of the story, the writers avoided giving any preaching in the ending, which is very refreshing in a kdrama and it makes it feel more real and down to earth. Sure, there are bad guys and good guys, there are objectively wrong things, but the story make you empathize with Jun Seong and Jae Hyo for the desperate situation they're in that led them to their crime, meanwhile it doesn't sugorcoat how ruthless rich people can be when you get in their way and how it's easy for them to escape punishment compared to poor people like Jun Seong and Jae Hyo. And yet there is no doubt that Min Woo was truly the victim here, because being born with money is not a crime by itself. It's this kind of ambiguity that made it more interesting for me, as it made me feel conflicted on who to root for.
Kudos to everyone involved. Definitely my kdrama of the year so far.
