So so good - can't get over it! KenTao have amazing chemistry as always. Been following them since Mare days >.<…
Seeing them grow as actors and co-stars is so nice! I believe this is their 4th/5th time working together already. Hoping to see them in another project in the next few years!
Fyi: this is a major spoiler so don’t click it unless you watched it
Yes I interpreted that the same way! Since it’s not technically their physical body within these “games,” I’m pretty sure they were able to live due to their determination to keep going on.
To people who are contemplating on whether they should watch S2 or not, I suggest you just check it out yourself to form an opinion! Afterall, it's only 8 episodes anyways! I personally really enjoyed the more emotional and psychological aspects of S2, and it's a great adaptation of the manga. Yes, some of the pacing is a bit slow and some of the dialogue can be long/draggy, but I overall really enjoyed the life message that the author is trying to convey (personally really hit home for me). The acting is also really good if you are used to Japanese live adaptations!
Some people were comparing AiB to Squid Game back then due to the absence of social commentary etc in it unlike…
Agreed. I totally remember people complaining back then that AiB didn't have a "message" to it, and now that this season is trying to convey that message, people are complaining and wanting more games? I totally understand that the pacing can be a bit slow with some of the dialogues, but I still really enjoyed this season overall.
I really loved Arisu and Usagi's chemistry! This adaptation followed the manga well, and it's nice to see their relationship develop from friends to lovers after all they went through. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya have such great on screen chemistry - this is their 4th time working together already! Hope to see them again sometime in the next few years.
This was just for one story. What's wrong with you that you stopped watching just because of an actor? That didn't…
To each their own, but I also enjoyed the second season! It followed the manga pretty closely. Hopefully we can get a movie or something for a followup! Not sure if that will happen though :(
I haven't read the manga but there's 2 way to explain the ending The games happened, ppl that died died, and people…
The ending was the exact same in the manga. The drama followed it perfectly. The borderlands is the area between life and death. Fighting for their lives in the games is a metaphor for fighting for their life for real as well. The meteorite did hit the area, therefore injuring those people that we see playing the games. The games were basically a place for purgatory - those who are strong enough to beat the game are able to save their own lives and wake up.
Idk what to watch now that I've finished this! :( The dramas I also liked that were similar are Liar Game and Squid Game, but it's hard to find good survival live actions :'( Any recommendations?
ep6 caught me off-guard and got me screaming fr, my Mare and Orange ship sailed 🥹
Right?! Can't believe this would be their fourth time working together now! I knew what was going to happen because I read the manga, but I was afraid the drama wouldn't adapt that part! Thank goodness I was proved wrong XD
I actually really liked the dialogues and more emotional aspects of this drama, which I know some people were disappointed by since a lot wanted more focus on the games. This follow the manga closely though since the manga also focused on the characterization and emotional aspects of these characters. A solid adaptation! Will be rewatching!
Does this cover the manga entirely or is there still more content that they could make a show on.
There’s a second part called Alice in Boderland Retry where Arisu ends up going back into the borderlands. It’s quite short though, so not a drama but a movie could possibly work?
guys is this worth watching? and how good it is compared to 1st season?
I personally really enjoyed it! Some games do drag for 2-3 episodes though, so it can feel a bit slower, but I loved this season just as much as season 1. It follows the manga really well.
