So so so glad I found this on streaming before the Netflix version airs.

Right? He needs to do some non-evil roles so I don’t always know he’s gonna be bad news. Fortunately, he did such an amazing job in his role (as did everyone else) that I didn’t mind being 99.9999999% certain he was going to be evil.

Must. Know. Her. Next. Project!!!!!!!

The pink turtleneck against the pink background gets me every time. Ok Barbie!

Nothing in Korean media truly and deeply shocks me more than a happy ending. What a welcome gut punch!

Shin Ha Kyun expressing emotions I didn’t even know existed, as per usual

I’m maybe one of the very few who genuinely liked it as an open ending and don’t need another season. It was brutal and horrifying, but I think it worked in demonstrating how far grief can push people—in the worst ways; not only can grief force someone into a toxic, circuitous rage that consumes them, but even worse, it spirals out, inflicting pain on those who have even asked for forgiveness. It is not pretty. It is not uplifting. It's grief run amok, and the power of that grief knows no end. There was never going to be a “happy” ending for anyone.

So…Hulu in the US?

Lmao they really built a spherical TARDIS around that sphere (I’m on ep 2)

I actually really liked the ending?

All of Us Are Dead has a decent amount of comedic moments that offset the horrific happenings, whereas this series doesn't have any, at least as far as I've noticed (or not noticed; please lmk if I'm missing the comedy). I can usually binge dark shows in one go, but I need to take breaks with this one. I suppose it took me by surprise since I was inevitably going to compare it to All of Us Are Dead, Alice in Borderland, etc. I’m enjoying it nonetheless.

I’m only on ep 7 but this makes All of Us Are Dead look like a full-on comedy.

Yes—The excitement doesn’t really get going until about halfway. It basically turns into a different movie but in the best way. I highly recommend finishing it if you haven’t already, especially to see some of Lee Sun Kyun’s finest work—which is saying a lot considering his immense filmography.

Should be considered sci-fi/fantasy for how it depicts “cancer.”

Solid reminder to rewatch My Name again.

How are they going to cram this cast into just 8 episodes???

I only just started this and am laughing hysterically at the moving eyeballs and him awaking from death after all his insides reassembled.

Umm his RANGE? What’s the opposite of being typecast?

It’s really difficult to rate this without the next season. It is somewhat like The Two Towers, which sort of makes the stadium survivors/soliders Rohan? I don’t hate (all of) them, but I don’t have any investment in them. It’s even more difficult to accept a new crop characters immediately after seeing so many of the ones we loved die (one of them a young child at that). And despite how much screen time the new characters received, they remain two-dimensional. All I can hope for is that the third season demonstrates that the second season wasn’t just plotless filler and was instead setting the stage for a subsequent season that fleshes out the new characters and plot lines.

Yep, that was my understanding of the big reveal of Sang Won.
