The story was well developed with interwoven romance building up to the finale of defeating a psychopath as they battled with hardships and learned some secrets that could've destroyed friendships but didn't let it. The brother's death right at the start j forgot about it until it got brought up again. They learned the true meaning of justice.
It was light and funny with the best friendships between all of them through intersections, the girls together and the boys together
I would love to see more prices with these actors in
However I wished we see the future with them becoming full-fledged cops and now is in the workforce

I hadn't watched the Korean versions
I hadnt watched the original as this isnt usually my taste when it comes to dramas and know it is best to keep it that way. I have regretted watching it as I only came to support win and ended up loving the other actors involved. Win is the ML and yet I felt he had the littlest time on the screen with SL and side characters popping up more then him.I know we all see romance in different perspectives but come on I saw more friendship with me shipping the FL and ML with every other person than each other.
What it taught me about beauty was really the saving point of it as I leant valuable lessons in what beauty is to society and the prison it can create

A mask we wear
This drama has taught me more in 10 episodes than I will ever learn in real lifeDramas have tried to integrate with social issues yet this one has hit the spot. Don't judge a book by its cover as they will be wearing a mask to try to thrive in a deadly environment where only a few can survive
We were shown what happens when you can't reach those expectations from key students from losing a friend to wanting to die as you think it is easy
Everyone needs to watch this masterpiece
A small stone won't do much damage but when it is multiple stones a significant impact can occur

I only came for win but all the actors have marked me with their incredible acting
The storyline was finely written without leaving gaps and usually, I always want backstories to explain how they get there. The reason why I enjoyed this so much is there are few dramas like this so the originality and creativeness is seen

Bromance is so important that is what kept it going. The action scenes were my favourite especially when it was 2 against 100 and yet still won when the opposition was using weapons that I rewatch it many times if I need a pick up. The story was intriguing and kept me glued to the point even my siblings who hate kdrama also watched it as well. It shows what is power exploitation and the lengths these characters will go to. It made me cry at times, especially at 6 but also made me laugh with the 2 cousins who made my day. Was this review helpful to you?
The characters I loved. The FL diverting the killer's attention away from his other victim. The mother wanting to find her daughter. The brother desperate to find his sister.
But this also shows how the police dismissed those with disabilities as he struggled to communicate.

It had potential. I almost dropped it.A major issue is pacing. At times it was so slow and so skipped a lot of the dialogue as it seemed unnecessary and chunky at times and other times everything was happening at once with me having no clue what actually was happening so everything is slightly jumbled.
It had a solid if not cliche story.
The characters were okay with no one really standing out apart from Dan who I liked from the beginning. Too bad he is in a coma.

The momentum slightly changed
All numbers card games are all cleared and the leaves the master face cards.S1 is definitely more action packed and fast paced.
Now there are fewer games but take longer to complete the objective. Osmosis and Prison game being my favourite.
Prison as it kept you on your toes and shows who you can really trust.
Osmosis as it was another learning point for arisu on what life truly is.
I hated that they had ann trekking through the wood for half the season. He had the potential. He is intelligent and survival skills but wasted it finding civilisation.

I've not read the manga
Why did I wait so long to watch this, I don't know.The plot was solid and hooked you from the first minute. The whole alternative universe explanation is slightly confusing though
The games I either liked or loved them with tag and wolf games my favourite ones.
Tag as it started to introduce some key characters we will see later and liked their development. To be honest I feel like this is one of the easiest games.
Wolf game as it defined arisu and his perspective on everything changed after that game. I wouldn't want any heart game.

Father Johan I liked. He was bubbly and generally cared about Miho. I enjoyed his backstory as well. It is still unclear on how he became a father. This is the first drama Ive watched that Eun woo is in.
Van, I liked his backstory more than the the present one. He seemed cold to everyone.
Miho was so bratty in my opinion. She does try to do the right thing but that's all. Even though everything is centered around her, she never seems to be involved.
The pacing was decent during the first 4 episodes then it felt like nothing was progressing at all.

The mother trying to protect their daughter made me cry so hard. The daughter not wanting to leave her mother also made me cry. The live they had for each other.This movie made you think what you would do in that situation; go to the police and risk your family's safety or stay silent trying to be invisible to protect the ones you love.

I love how serious topics were brought up, like gender inequality and the SA, which was realistic and actually was part of the main story of Ohm. Their voices were heard as it is true that the amount of power Ohm held meant he got away with it if it weren't Pam speaking up on behalf of her girlfriend. It had me guessing throughout it, and my bet was on Kris, but I was wrong with that.

Jiwon is my favourite character, someone who struggle to express himself at times also someone who cares about other's opinion due to him being famous gymnast but truly cared for Junwoo in his own ways. He made me cry when he cried.
Jungwoo might seem scary to others but he is a total softie around the ones who truly know him. The one who isn't scared to say what he wants.
I actually liked the pacing of it.

The plot was simple and it was solid. However, there was character detail that made me attached to anyone even if one of them was getting abused by his father.
The reasoning behind suho actions I'm still confused about and the whole female character. What was her role? She just wanted to break the couple up

The main couple couldn't ever work out in real life. Toma is the quiet type the one that don't do bold statements and flashy gestures.
The other one is the unconfident one that always overthink everything from interactions to words spoken. They didn't work out. I'm all for opposites attract but there still need to be common ground.
