Review The 8 Show
Thanks for your detailed response! Here's my take on your points:Human Cruelty: You're right, history is full…
I do a-- coliving space. :

>>I think by that time people already made their room stinky enough which later time (after multiple days) this ongoing situation gave the opportunity to make feel #1 somewhat useful. But any normal sensible common person should have discover the problem right after one night, not to wait for days! Simply, only multiple time pissing per day already may have become an issue after the day1., and also they were all aiming to extend their stay for more days!

When the lower floors overthrow --to an extent.:
>>that’s completely illogical when everyone kind of having reasonable grudge against 8th girl, how they wash and wear wet cloth (including inner cloths), if not where they could have dried and stay naked during that time? The kept on having stain on their cloths, and that’s just too disgusting to be a practical circumstance. Cloths are not for images, any mature person can feel that, they are for basic needs and personal hygiene purpose. In my later discussion: I raised the topic about getting enough water to wash cloths, buying cheapest pair of cloths etc etc. I feel like I am starting to defending repeated concerns which are raised “only to” defend my critics. Please go through other of my comments where I explained more about these points very elaborately. My reviews is based on “Speech of freedom”, not aiming to attack anyone personally.

Running on the steps doesn't giv--y into it.

>> of course I know that, Come on! What I meant that Its their perspective at the first place, when they were not aware of rules and were not facing ultimate survival challenges. All I am saying they just started being cruel enough from the very first challenges. 8 random people suddenly find cruelty as innovative way at the first place, that’s kinda make this show weird tbh. Again I suggest you to read other part of my discussions below. This point is also repetitive for me.

Think about the Stanford prison exp--- act like that?

>> What you mentioned, very different context. Survival challenge vs greed very different driving forced. Many survival movies are out there where people work in group to win the challenges, similarly several movies exist where greeds also unites people: almost all “treasure hunt” based movies are example for that. Just to make the movie plot negative, it just threw random scenes on the plate of viewers. All these scenes could have make proper sense if they have directed it properly with a proper character development ( I discussed this topic as well to defend some old comments). I didn’t watch webtoon, so I cant judge that. But already didn’t we witness enough failure productions based on amazing webtoons??? I guess this is one of them!

I think you are very optimistic about human nature----revenge.

>>No, trust me, I am not. Already had taste of every bitterness of life, but also witnessed power of “hope”, I do agree some cases are beyond any “hope”, such as “Nth Room case”. But again from my previous comments “8 people playing games, then in such small society, a little rationality could have been practically applicable, like people do in 8-12 memebers of household. Problem appears in larger population scale. Because again, kind heart is rarely can be found.”


In the Rhythm 0 experiment, ---- to be horrible!

>> Its just sounds similar like “Nth Room case”. And of course it is horrific and that’s why people should stop to “normalize” such content ( I had a discussion on this topic as well). In real life people always have surrounded by very wicked people, but also some good people as well. If you keep on accepting the part “wicked” and act denial toward “good”, then life becomes more hard and at some point you reach at the point of “mental breakdown”. That’s why the recent generation are suffering with “anxiety”, “ depression” etc even without facing actual hardship in life. Life never was “easy” and never “will be”, and positive/negative attitude matters.

I would refer to a comment by “jaxopa” what he/she said “Real-world atrocities are horrific, but entertainment shouldn't just exploit them. 'The 8 Show' offers no depth, just cheap thrills that numb viewers to real suffering” and I think some people like us might love / expect such genre where story is well written and directed.

Review The 8 Show
I think you really underestimate humans' enjoyment of torturing others lol. You really think something like that…
Thanks for your detailed response! Here's my take on your points:

Human Cruelty: You're right, history is full of examples of human cruelty. While "The 8th Show" might capture some aspects, it felt excessive and overshadowed the characters' motivations. While the show depicts a disturbing truth, it doesn't mean it's the only possible outcome. The show did suggest that the higher floors enjoyed increasingly brutal acts. It's a valid commentary on human nature, but it left me wanting more depth in exploring the psychology behind it.

There's truth to the idea of routine. However, considering the desperation at stake, exploring alternative solutions earlier could have been a more interesting plot point.
I also repeat from my previous comments: "Especially, illogical brutality. Was it necessary: No. When running through stairs can give you extra time, lol. You only had to bring some creativity to extend the stay. And its illogical when normal people finds brutality as creativity, lmao."

That's a good point about the characters saving money. But I totally disagree that the cost they paid wasn't logical. However, their struggle seems illogical considering the free money they earned on the 8th floor. Why aren't they using it? The 8th girl wears fancy clothes all the time: I don't think she changes clothes at the doorway to follow the rule - is it about staying inside or outside a specific place? Again, the most problematic aspect of this show is "the rules were not clear, and the residents didn't even put effort to explore them." This lack of clarity leads to frustration for the viewers, especially when the characters seem to suffer because of it: that is so dumb!!! I've mentioned many plot holes in my previous comments on other discussions. This altogether points to the fact that this show, beyond catering to dark fantasies, has little to offer and relies heavily on implausible plots.

Age or living under a rock isn't the issue here. It's about what kind of stories we choose to tell and the messages they convey. I understand the show's portrayal of human nature under pressure. However, I believe it's important for stories to also explore the potential for resilience and resourcefulness, even in dire circumstances. Maturity is in finding a balance between the darkness and some glimmer of hope is what makes characters and stories truly compelling for the viewer, otherwise, it's no surprise that uncritical viewers support nonsensical narratives.

Without proper treatment with the wounded feet, no one able to even walk properly! After the tooth forcedfully pulled out, and it stays normal over time? Theres many more of such scenes.
Also, how people gets hurt almost everyday with cruelty and gets automatically healed without proper rest and medication? simplest example, with a little twisted feet that swell stays more than 1-2 days; and in this case they bleeded with the hiting as well as everyday bullying. Even over 6 months, its not practically possible. Just doesnt make any sense!

Sadly, my point to the point comment is well-explained enough that I have watched it completely. However, your this one sentence is not sufficient to justify the points I have raised. Can you please elaborate your answer or at least explain the plot holes which I have already mentioned in my review? I will be happy to listen to your point of views.

Haha, you've got a point! Its been a while to remember everything clearly.

More or less the ending of The 8th Show gets wild! The people on the lower floors, tired of being treated badly, finally fight back and overpower the higher floors. It seems like they're trying to tell us more about the characters with short flashbacks about their sad pasts, but it's kinda rushed and doesn't really make you feel for them. There's also a lot of torture scenes that don't really make sense and are just kinda gross.
Not sure if it was a suicide but it was a deliberately taken risk for which the 1st floor person died, and the game ended. With the doors finally open, some players choose freedom, while others attend a somber funeral for a fallen comrade. A post-credits scene hints at a character potentially profiting from their experience, leaving the true ending and the show's true impact uncertain.

Well-said. But sadly the core theme really matches with our modern society structure in large scale where people…
For real! People getting no connection to ground state reality in dangerous way! They just try to prove themselves "right" over baseless illogical arguments. First people should stop taking things personally! The reviews should be unbiased and there are available subsections to rate too. Just like i rated 8/10 on acting /cast here. When 10/10 rating exists, there should be 1/10 critics exits too. So, why not just read them both and have your own opinion. Why these fruitless debates over a mere fictional drama? I am thankful to those viewers who just read my review and moved on without unnecessary debates. There is a button "helpful" and "not helpful". Just seclect either of them and just move on!
Honestly, too busy in real life to deal these debates over just a "personal" review. This is a place to escape from busy life's exhausion , not to be trapped in tiring debates. SMH

Then, vice versa I guess in the same way the 10/10 rating never worth taking seriously or even read! Because even…
Not sure what you meant but agree about that there is no perfect production exists which can satisfy all class of viewers and earn perfect score 10/10, but still people rate it 10/10 only to recommend their friend circle and to express how happy/ satisfied they are after watching it. So, yah the range 1 to 10 is logical and depends wholly on a person's personal perspective.

I disnt really liked it and i decided to drop it at ep 3( must update the list), but is not an 1. In each dramas…
→→ Free: means no limit? Ask as much as you want then! also, as I said "They bought medicine though which is clearly consumable. 8th girl bought dog, why not buying chicken and fry it in a fryer? They bought plants, why not living lettuce ?"

one single bottle per person is not sufficent for drinking as well as filling bath tub, if no water changed then how the water looks so clean? could have tried to buy non-consumable water: sea water/ swimming pool water! Cleanser solution etc etc. By the way, they even used water to make soju, later in torturing bowl etc etc. If its limitless, then that also solves every problem regarding hunger/ thrist/ cleaning. Almost everyone peed in their pants at some point. In that context I think they could have shit in that common room one by one rather than doing it in their own room . They could have also make 1st floor as common toilet and share other room together at the first place when there was no such conflict. They could have just find out solutions one by one sitting together and I am sure such discussion could also earn them time. As people also equally find it amuzing when a group of people try to find solutions to a problem.
They used their brain for making soju but not making basic level of comfortness! Totally illogical.

"Doesn't happen in real world. Heard a lot of SK stories."
→→8 people playing games, then in such small society, it could have been practically applicable, like people do in 8-12 memebers of household. Problem appears in larger population scale. Because again, kind heart is rarely can be found.
Also, as per my previous comment: Especially, illogical brutality. Was it necessary: No. When running through stairs can give you extra time, lol. You only had to bring some creativity to extend the stay. And its illogical when normal people finds brutality as creativity, lmao.


In that case, They can use two pair of cloths, one inside and other outside, like that 8th girl did. The cloths dont have to be fancy, but just clean pair. How about asking " cheapest pair of cloth"?
I feel they were so dumb that they even didnt give it a try to understand what are the rule, just by asking in intercom.

Anyone could have use anyone's room: that was tha major flaw in pre-assumed rules, one could have ever think of!

"It is the rule and food and drinks can't be bought."

→ →Where was that rule mentioned? They bought medicine though which is clearly consumable. 8th girl bought dog, why not buying chicken and fry it in a fryer? lol
They bought plants, why not living lettuce ?

"Because... ………… I think they cut some scenes (they actually did a few) to make all end credits 8 min long)"

→→ On that logic you can just defend anything assuming that they have cut that scene, he shredded off that so-called humanity to other members in the later episodes, including that pulling out tooth from another girl!! "Why he is looking at her while grinning": maybe he was also very embarrassed with his disability and low confidence and clearly 8th girl was the most powerful there to look at

" you can 'buy' them from 'your' money. That means 1 would have 2 floors and 8 would have zero."
→ →I disagree. They clearly assumed about “switching” floor. They even show that they are intended to shuffle each floors as per needed: 4 with 8 , 1 with 6 etc etc. Lets say, they can “buy” not swith”, why they have not tried it from 8th floor, at least they could have found the price list with 8th floor gilr’s money. Anyway, this is the major plot holes of this drama that nowhere the rules are clearly stated or mentioned and people are nothing but assuming things in their own way

"Again, food and drinks can't be bought as per the rule. "

→→ Totally disagree, the 8th girl literally bought bathtub and water with her money, its not possible to fill a bathtub with 8 bottles of water! And again, no where that specific rules are mentioned in entire drama

“ I'm sorry but trying 'making everyone comfortable' is one of the most unrealistic things. “
→ Totally disagree. power is capable to make everyone suffer and also make everyone comfortable as well! It is just that you only have to have a kind heart and intention, that’s it.

“Why would upper floors would even give a chance to lower floors to rule?
→→ Of course, but why not after gaining power? When upper floor are already captured?

"Why they didnt even buy a pair of fresh cloths, I wonder."
--Because they didn't want to waste even 1 minute for money. 8th floor never cared about money becoz she knew other would not let the timer stop."

→→ All here I am saying using 8th girls money. So, why not ???


“She is not hypocritical, but a Pacifist here and they can be very delusional in general with their choices. She did that to 6 because irl too, a man had slept with her and turned her whole life around. She saw that guy in 6 after he did the same. That's why she took her revenge by removing his testes, hence testosterone is gone”.

→→ Sorry, again I disagree, I totally found her hypocrite. Doing things as per convenience is not always justifiable with mental weakness/ trauma. I also feel that she is also having some very kinky personality of being adultaerer. She likes being touched and kissed by almost any “male”. While other people favors being punished rather than kissing or touching her. She is delusional because of her past experience, that’s only I can agree with. Its totally my perspective. I am not going to debate on that.

“Trust me, no one dies that easily. I've seen people playing these kind of sadistic game once and it's only injuries. No one dies.”

→→ Nope, I cant even try to trust your experience on this topic. I am well aware of that with heavily injure in head, anyone can die, and lost consciousness in the limit of being in Coma. The head is very very sensitive part of the body and that’s why people wear helmet in baseball games. They wear helmets even in boxing, have you even wondered why??? Serious hit on few inches below on your earlobe can make you dead; being blindfolded and while spinning, can you guess where you are actually hitting? The hit can make you trip over position when you are sitting on your knees, are pretty much hard blow. I don’t know if you have seen some reality show and got this wrong concept. And If you faced such things in real life then this is very wrong and I feel very sad that you personally experienced such ruthless things in your life and took it very lightly because simply you were “Lucky”. It maybe that they are just mildly touching, not actually hitting people in such critical way

“That happens in every literal movie or show just existing.”
→→ That’s why like every other shows, it is a major plot hole


These were the simple points which just popped up in mind immediately while writing this review. But, I am sure i could have pointed out more plot holes with time analysing this drama, but I have moved to new show and dont want to think about this nonsence production anymore.
