No, not really expect the fact that they happen in multiple countries for the enjoyment of the rich and that they also bet money on them. So basically it is for the sake of entertainment. I agree that the ending wasn't so satisfying, but I didn't find it bad either. I suppose we will wait and see if there will be another season, but frankly I don't know if I would like one if we see the ML going back. I would prefer different players. You are welcome!

Even though I was sure that he was somehow involved after they tried to kill each other, I hoped that I would be wrong because I really liked him.

It looked like he will either participate in the game again or go back to find out more about why this game is happening and to punish them. It either means that there will be a season two or it is an open ending and we just know that he went back.

What do u mean spin offs? If you mean about second seasons, I am not a fan either for multiple reasons, but I guess it is fine as long as they don't drag it.

Nope. I don't no what it reminds you of. Frankly many people compare this with other death game series or movies, but for me there are more differences than similarities.

Same

Yes. If you like death games, you will like this one too.

What do you want to know?

Oh yeah! I will probably start it today too. Tell me your opinion, if you do.

You are welcome! Kind of curious to see how it will end, but I agree. It is very entertaining which is very important in this genre, so I can't say I am dissapointed. My expectations were met.

I really love reading your reviews! This one is also great and it contains everything that I wanted to know. I really enjoy it too so far (episode 6) and I completely agree that they could make less episodes since the whole characters back stories are necessary, but also quite draggy.

You are welcome. I hope you like it!

I mostly watch Asian content so it is fine for me. The netflix originals are good, so I hope this one will be also. The first episode was quite good. Hopefully it will pick up its pace.

For me it isn't really binge worthy. One episode a day is fine. It is slow paced and character driven, so it is not one of the series that ends with a cliffhanger in every episode. I didn't have the urge to binge it. I finished it in about 2 weeks. If you are looking for something else I would either recommend a series with just a few episodes that are also hard to binge like the victims game or maybe Byakuyako. I binged it (I mention it because the majority doesn't consider it binge worthy) but it is pretty dark so if you are not a person that is a big fan of dark stuff this is great for just one ep a day. If you are looking for something longer, that it not binge worthy, you may try Vincenzo (it is a hit or miss though), mr sunshine, stranger or strangers from hell. I personally watched them slowly either because the episodes were long or because they were too dark or slow paced to watch more than one ep a day.

Yeap, I know. I am waiting for it (for two years apparently). Thanks though.

I hope they portray the disorder right and not turn them into inhumane monsters.

Both of them are death games. That's it, if you ask me. I don't see any other similarities so far.

The plot sounds great!

I think that is the official international title

Sorry, I didn't specify. There are different originals. Netflix originals can be named both the series that netflix produces and the series that netflix has the rights to air internationally. I am talking about the series that Netflix produces and they are only available on Netflix. Squid game and Kingdom are some of those. Netflix announced them and they are only available there. They are not being broadcasted on any korean tv station. There are some other series that are called originals like It's okay to not be okay for example, but they are called originals for different reasons. IOTNBO is an original because Netflix has the exclusive rights for it to air internationally, but the series is not a netflix production. It is a tvn series, so netflix is obligated to follow the korean airing programme which was 2 eps a week. Same thing with hospital playlist.
