Basically it’s a simple funny watch, the writing is really simple, but the characters and the budding friendships, the fight for your freedom and dream, and the on point comedic timing made it a fun watch

Koreans are racist but I think especially the ml, really showcased a good understanding of cultural differences
He didn’t make fun of them, he understood their values and in the end he used them to encourage the guys well
And even if some were shocked by these “villagers” everyone was really supportive and kind

Sadly real world isn’t that simple but I wouldn’t hate the sequel
The “unknown” actors also did a really good job, with minimum communication, they still conveyed their emotions well, I really liked the subtle emotions of shika, being overwhelmed by civilization, being away from his village and people and not wanting to play this game of fighting for their survival
