I think James is going to get killed for everything, to make sure the audience knows drugs are bad. We'll see though.

Kang Tae-poong is fun to say not gonna lie. Rolls off the tongue.

I'm convinced this show has crack in it, the amount of times I've rewatched and wanted to rewatch Season 1 is infinite lol The soundtrack too is one of the best I've heard. Sweet Home and Tears of Sweet Home hit hard.

If this isn't a "people assuming one gender interacting with the other gender meant a romance was blossoming" drama. They're partners y'all, that's it lol and they've both got a story so they both have their own personal reasons why they're doing this job. James is unhinged a little bit and only "nice" to her when he feels like it most of the time 😂 at least that's what I get from it.

I feel sorry for the people who just finished this masterpiece and are moving onto the crappy second season.

Yes we understand the story - poor excuse to say people "just don't get it" and that's why we don't like this season. it's literal crap and feels AI written due to how many plot holes conflict with Season 1's lore and world building. The writer literally made it far into season 1 and went "oops, didn't account for this and this and this etc." so they pulled this season from their butt. And every Romance cliché in the book is in this Season. The first season avoided many annoying clichés, but they just had to ruin it here. Save yourself and watch in 2× speed or skip all the boring plotless nothingness that occurs and everyone acting extremely out of character. I rewatched this against my will because I showed the drama to someone and they needed the full story, but I couldn't believe I had forgotten just how much of a jerk Jang-uk became and also Yul. So so out of character for both of them. I'm baffled how people like this, it turned into the "Stone cold ML who's a jerk to the Woman and treats her like crap" trope when it was different at first and that's what made it unique. All the Men ended up talking like a Woman, you could just tell something is off with how they're speaking and never did before. C'mon, the Crown Prince making a soulful, overly soppy and emotion driven speech? no, that's not like him at ALL. I cringed through 90% of the dialogue.

I'm convinced everyone has lost their minds. The forced hate is so ridiculous, there's some issues, yes, but that doesn't mean it was bad. I feel like everyone nowadays just WANTS something to complain about and can't actually enjoy something without being a critic. If something is actually bad, you can voice what you think, but being so picky to the point you're throwing away all logic (like wanting Chishiya back when the actor is literally having issues) is absurd and incorrectly placed critiques. Obviously a lot of people care more about their own entertainment than the actors themselves and their health.

And why is that? Because people can be super toxic about people's appearance and can't look past it. These actors won't be allowed to be in the industry without it because of how ridiculous beauty standards can be and how critical people are towards them.

I think that's perfectly okay about you not preferring the storyline and it's for a younger audience, I've seen parts of the show and it can be quite cringey, sure. but why attack the actors, saying they're unattractive and a make it a huge reason why you dropped it? I mean, if you don't find someone attractive it's not a crime, but it being the why you won't watch it is surface level. All I'm saying is, if you use this mentality with other shows, you may miss out on some great series just because you think they're ugly. It should be about their talent instead, right..?

Anyway, you're entitled to think what you want to in the end.

Superficial reason much for disliking a drama.

Edit: seriously can't believe how many hearts this commenter got for such rude and ridiculous comments.

It's awful, just go search up the soundtrack and call it a day 😆

In forever 😖 lol

it's based off a 2020 - 2021 Manga called Alice in Borderland Retry, which is still written by the same author as the original, they just expanded on it and this is where this season came from. Arisu does go back into borderland and a lot of it is the same, just changed some things to fit, same as what happened with the first two seasons. it's not 100% Netflix, the Manga actually exists. This person has the facts a little incorrect or they're making it sound like whatever happened in here was non-existent in a Manga when that's not true.

Rewatching from the top... Dare I say... I miss Jeok-bong from this season lol Kind of sucks in season 2 So Mun had a personality switch because I loved the additional member to the team.

There was an OST at the end though and sometimes played in the middle, along with their theme song intro. Close your eyes, Meet again, No Problem. They were awesome little treats at the end of the episodes in my opinion.

The ratings are low because nobody's watching it or is able to rate it since it isn't available legally anywhere in the US. This is happening more and more with ongoing dramas to the point I'm forced to 🏴‍☠️ because I can't access them otherwise... lol

It's doesn't seem to be available in the US on Viki, so that's probably why. Nobody can find the show so they aren't able to access it legally.

Yes it is, I actually liked it a little more than the first two seasons. Less filler and was super good and engaging.

For educational purposes and to let the masses know before hating on this as a "cash grab", I wish someone, anyone would've told me it is based off a Manga where Arisu goes back to borderland. It actually exists and not just Netflix trying to supposedly cash grab. No we don't need a USA one but... just don't watch it then? Pretty simple solution, nothing to get so riled up about.

" 2020 - 2021 Alice in Borderland Retry " is what this season was based off of and where it came from, with a few changes, yes, but so does the first seasons have subtle differences from the Manga.

It's not boring, it just went the psychological route to create suspense, there was still plenty of Physical games too. I feel like I watched a different show than what other people did and they're overexaggerating it to sound bad.

That's understandable! I just wish someone would've told me beforehand that this was actually based on a Manga created in 2020 - 2021 Alice in Borderland Retry". It wasn't 100% unoriginal material created by Netflix for only money and the audience didn't mind the good addition to expanding the original Manga and Arisu going back to borderland. They also added some of the original Manga games that didn't fit in the other seasons, here. It technically (Japanese one, not American tease) wasn't completely a cash grab. If it was well done, then the creators should get their share of earning money for it, nothing wrong with that. I really did think this was a random extra season, but there is actually a Manga it's based off of. Loved this season!
