Keeps getting better and better, I feel like this is one of the action kdramas that you won't feel repetitive and stale. For example, Taxi Driver is good, but the whole thing feels repetitive and you know the formula. In this one, it keeps on evolving, started out in a prison story, then do driving death game, to foiling the ploy of making a fall person, now it's going to be ML goes after Yo Han's client.
Really great. Given that the series is constantly moving and evolving, I thought it will get stuck in the whole driving game. I'm glad that it was done and over lol.
I dont know why but I felt like the twist might be that he is not serial killer after all, it might be Hsiao Tung all along. It is also possible that the whole ghost angle does not exist but a fractured delusional reality formed by Ren Yao, The whole drug thing might not be a one off thing.
at the latter part of this series, I had to fast forward quite a lot, just annoyed with unnecessary prolonged scenes, plus the fact that it was depressing AF. I need the second part, which is probably what I want and expected.
The series is so depressingly slow. I wished it was like King of Pigs, where the revenge started early on, instead of extensively establishing the backstory.
I dont know how I feel. It started with the serial killer and interviewer, which I felt invested already and all of a sudden, the whole narration ended up in the flashback. In episode 4 now.
It is something that resonates and made you reflect. The challenges, the pain, the joy, and the realization.
It's a slice of life story, so the storytelling may not be as even and as straight forward it is, especially it was broken into "chapters". The series rely heavily on you investing your time and feelings on the main lead. It's his story, and it's his perspective; so you can't really expect exposition of other character's story.
SK is established because they are pretty much recycled from old Physical show. Other teams have no experience…
Like I said, it is all dependent on casting; who knows maybe the SK athletes that agreed to join in the show are the only ones availability. And besides, you cannot expect all countries to have Eddie Williams or Igedz Executioner, there is a reason why that made them special and warrant them to be feature in the show. This show is not about some random celebrity athlete with no credentials, they are nationally and internationally acknowledge athletes, with expertise in their fields, that already narrowed down the pool of casting, plus availability, plus willingness to join and you cannot expect too to have an even physicality when you have countries with different average lifestyles, built and physicality.
Also built and size is not the only metrics of athleticism, who knows, maybe each country may have a leeway of deciding who they want to team up with and go to the show, so you cannot point out to casting to get everyone with same built.
Again, casting is not easy like you think of, especially we are not even have information on how they are casted.

What do you mean?
Of course, they have better casting for SK, because like I said, they are recycled from old Physical show, they have an unfair advantage of being familiar with the show, with the games, and having played together in previous show made team spirit a lot easier.
I dont think you realized that casting is not easy. While SK have 'ready made team' and casts willing to do one more season for this kind of show, the rest of the countries don't. Not every country have running sports competition like in Korea where they have Physical franchise. Perhaps, the Physical: Asia casting crew have their own dream team but unfortunately, they can't be casted for several reasons: scheduling, athlete not willing to participate, etc. In the end, the crew can only deliver what they can.
Victim's Game.
