I hope that you guys also complain about K-Drama remakes of popular international properties or Japanese/Chinese Webtoons. K-Dramas like Playful Kiss and Boys over Flowers wouldn't have existed without them.
This isn't a new thing...

While I agree with you. I'd argue it's more due to greed than laziness. If you fire most designers and keep one to make the AI prompts, then that's less people you gotta pay a salary for. Even though wages are notoriously bad in the TV and film industry.

I personally think that the games of the Genius hold up extremely well! Players within the Genius tend to think outside of the box a lot, leading to 'interesting' strategies.
But sure, the production might seem dated, I'll give you that.
But I'd really recommend people to watch ALL 4 seasons in order to truly get all the enjoyment of The Genius Grand final, because of the returning players. (Come on, season 1 of The Genius is a must-watch!)

Hopefully I'm not to late to join your discussion, but I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I was thinking about this show again as I was looking for some new game shows to watch and came across your comments.

ORBIT was such a unique player that his view on the game and his playstyle as result was a breath of fresh air. This is in complete contrast to how most of the players conduct themselves in this season. The way the prison players were treated from the get-go really rubbed me the wrong way and immediately made me root for them.
Players such as Justin or 7high as you mentioned were fun to watch.

I'd recommend you 'The Genius' if you haven't watched it already, it's from the same makers as the Devil's Plan and pretty good.

I must be good at guessing, for I did not know most of these! But it was fun to play haha.

You complained more about the comment than the original comment you're responding to haha... Ironically, I guess you're right.

I kept wanting to remind myself of what this show was called, because I managed to effectively supress it (for my own wellbeing LOL) But here I am again, out of curiousity. This show had a great ammount of potential, but quickly falls off after part 1.
If anyone happens to read this, just watch part 1. It's fairly enjoyable albeit very chaotic, but part 2 does not live up to ANY expectations. I remember tolerating the plot until episode 9 BUT IT WAS SO BAD.

Weak Hero Class 1 is easily my favorite out of all of these listed. Went it without any prior expectations (neither good or bad) and got absolutely blown away by the writing and the performances.
Story wasn't anything revolutionary, but very well paced and the storytelling was unlike any other; exceptionally well done. Never thought I'd say that about a primarily 'action' oriented show.

3 years is quite the time jump, let's see how edgy Jang Uk will become (love the new outfit!)

I hope that LJW and GYJ have better chemistry than he had with JSM. They seemed more like close friends than a romantic pairing that is meant to be taken seriously.
Anyways, looking forward to a new season!

True Beauty needs to be higher for sure.

Oh, haven't thought about it that way. Suppose she may show a new charm, that's true.
Also not a fan of medical dramas here ^^

A slight warning for Your Honor (without spoilers): The ending is a bit underwhelming.
But the questions the show asks are really interesting to unravel and the bond between the two leads is quite memorable.

Yeah... I watch almost everything with Lee Soo Hyuk, but as with most dramas he stars in, it gets stale pretty quickly.
Tbf, the enjoyment of the show is heavily dependent by each episode's B plot.

You're right, but for me personally her acting is kind of hit or miss. The prospect of her and PHS in a medical drama is most likely a pass. Wish you guys fun with the show though.

Thank for your brilliant review. You perfectly described what makes this drama special. I didn't have any particular expectations going in (just saw Jihoon on the posters hehe...) but the acting blew me away. Definitely one of the standout dramas this year!

If I could somehow upvote this review more, I would. Completely right on every point. Wouldn't have watched this if I hadn't read the webtoon beforehand.

100% Agreed. Really need to rewatch that one. The team was amazing.

Thanks, I guess. I feel like I've dodged a bullet by skipping this drama.
Really like the actors, but If I have to force myself to like the main character of a story, I'd rather pass.

Wow, this review was a small throwback, thanks! The amusement park scenes were the coolest.

Haha, same, I never rewatch stuff! Your distinctions are a bit confusing though. We simply referred to the worlds as "world A, B, C" etc.
I'm guessing brown was DW original world, blue is SK world and white is the other?
