Seems I might be in the minority based on these comments but I loved SK won. I was rooting for them from the start. I’m jealous of Amottis wife lol. But I loved the whole team.
I’m Australian and to be honest I wanted Australia gone early. I was embarrassed by their swearing and egos. It did ease up further in the show and Dom especially seemed like a good guy. They shot themselves in the foot by using their 3 strongest men assuming they’d win the rope battle easily. The other teams worked out not to use all their best players.
That’s being said, if Australia didn’t go out when they did, all the following challenges they would have won easily. The castle challenge would have been so easy for them and the final show.
Can someone please put in a spoiler below if it has a happy or sad ending I’m on the first episode and the first scene has me wondering if I will keep watching. I hate sad endings.
i agree they really do perform well and alexandra mental power was really top notch. Many people are hating on…
I am Australian and although the team is slowly warming on me, I didn’t like how they came across at first.
I watch so much Asian content. and I prefer the more reserved and respectful culture.
I can’t stand bogan Australians and I am embarrassed that they swear so much. There were also arrogant in my opinion. But it had lessened and I now can see more of their positive attitude. Especially the parkour guy.
I started binging this then realised just now it’s not completed screening yet. So annoyed at myself. And to be left hanging if Amotti makes it or not.
I will start but saying overall I enjoyed it. I didn’t drop it and I was genuinely smiling during the last episode. Not often am I please with an ending. Usually it feels rushed but I enjoyed this final episode.
The female lead did a great job from looking super poor and then handling the rich situation. I was shocked I could not even see a slight hint she was the same actress from Vincenzo, which I loved. However making her a bodyguard was a bad choice unless you are going to make her super impressive as one. She couldn’t defend herself against a fly. This is not the actresses fault it’s whoever made the character that weak.
The first few episodes were frustrating that they kept changing styles and paces. It would take you out of one serious situation then into a silly small town one then back and forth. That was jarring at first. Thankfully it wasn’t a 16 episode series.
Overall I’m glad I watched it. Not a rewatch series. It was suspenseful in the fact that you didn’t know which characters were on the good side and bad side.
I enjoyed this series. I’m a fan of Park Min Young but I’ll admit the first few episodes I found her a little annoying. So just get past those first few episodes when she’s not in silly girl mode.
I loved the revenges which were approximately 1 per episode. I didn’t really find the major revenge that interesting.
The ending annoyed me in that I hope if there is a season 2 it’s not the same villain.
If you're wondering if he died, no, he didn’t. The gates of the control room was open and it was empty. His…
I was referencing whether he was dead in the desert or just an allusion. When her husband had died she saw him in front of her saying exactly what was in the letter he wrote to her about his son. There he was an illusion.
The ending made it hard to know for sure if the ML was dead and just an illusion or if he actually was there.
I cant remember now but someone pointed out a specific thing in that desert scene that proved he really was there, alive.
I’ve watched too many other series already since to be clearer I’m sorry.
So much time to wait. I prefer to binge watch series. ( I always regret it when I start too early and it’s not finished yet) And it’s so hard to know each week a new episode comes out but I don’t have the patience. So I have to wait till December to start watching ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ and I love JCW and DO. I hope it’s good and worth waiting for.
I always wonder how companies look at viewership numbers as it’s being released. They often talk about the weekly number but that’s not really a good reflection as many people prefer to wait to its ended to then watch it all in one go.
was it happy ending? or at least satisfying?any annoying triangle or SML?
I cried a lot in the first half of the last episode. But it was a happy ending in an unusual way. Fantasy genre gives it a way to be happy but unconventional. Hard to explain without ruining it.
No annoying love triangles thankfully. I gave it an 8 / 10. It was an easy binge. I didn’t get bored.
Editing to add it wasn’t an open ended ending either. It was complete and happy.
I enjoyed it. I’m really liking these shorter dramas lately. I can imagine it might have felt dragged out if it was 16 episodes.
Loved all the cast. A rare thing in kdrama is the real, passionate kisses between the main leads. Makes a nice change to the dead fish lip kisses.
Yes it got confusing at times but not enough to drop it. As others have mentioned the ending was ok but not the greatest. Again, not a reason to not watch it though.
When I started this I couldn’t believe the low score and I still think it’s lower than it should be.
I came for the cast and genre, but just stayed for the cast. 80% of the show is fight scenes. Although that is far too much running time ,those fight scenes were great. I loved how they were choreographed and the actors and stunt people did an amazing job there (this could be because I have literally watched the worst fight scenes with shocking sound effects on a Thai drama) also their weapons were cool.
I was happy until the end of episode 4. Then I saw what the real problem was. This should have just been a movie. So many flash backs that took up a further 10% min of each episode. So many questions unanswered that you weren’t sure you would get.
Technically you could almost just watch episode 8. Or if you just want to know what’s going on at once instead of bit by bit just watch the first 5-10 minutes of episode 8 first.
It’s better than its low score and I still enjoyed it. Just lucky it was only 8 episodes. I did love all the actors as I knew I would.
Don’t just dismiss it because of other reviews. It’s not perfect but I’ve seen worse.
I’ve only just completed episode 2. I pray it gets better. I’m only watched for Boun at the moment. Story already seems choppy and confusing and don’t get me started on the shocking fight scenes and sound effects.
Mark is nice eye candy too. But I’m not sure if Boun, Prem, Mark & Aun are going to be enough to save this. I hope I’m wrong. Certainly has a higher rating than I’d expect.
Completely agree. One of my favourite actors. I didn’t know about this series so I haven’t decided whether…
I may give it another go another time. Sometimes depends on my mood. However I had read other people didn’t like it either. I’ve gone back to shows I’ve dropped before and enjoyed them and other times I remember why I couldn’t get through it the first time. Have you seen it?

But I’m still going for South Korea.
