Got any news link for that? We need it for official lists in other platforms.
Thank you.
It appears that they're still considering it, so nothing definite yet. They're just talking about it informally over lunch and drinks.
I guess that means we will have to keep it marked as "Ended" in various sites like TMDB and TVDB, until the talks become formal.
They first need to think of new stories before they can pitch it to the network so they can get a budget and start the casting. Sigh, it's going to take a while. We'll probably hear something in 2026.
I think it meant that Aom's soul didn't return to her body, but it was another person's soul who had played the…
It's likely the Game Master, the one who created the game.
In European mythologies, there's a common plot where someone tricks a god to make something not realizing they're creating the prison the people or other gods wants the Game Master to be imprisoned.
After all, as a Game Master, they'll create the hardest game. And as a sinister GM, there will be traps and rules. The best place to imprison a GM is in their own game.
Recent TV series on streaming platforms often go for open endings. If the show gains enough attention and popularity…
That's how things should be in the industry because it's often localised. Not like in novels where it is easy to expand the story elsewhere yet still in the same world/universe.
They can avoid reboots too, which often are not better than the original.
LOL. The Game Master was trapped in his own game? I wonder why. There's a story behind there, and it appears the Game Master hates the world. It looks like he is out to have his revenge.
Or, maybe, the game was a prison. The GM was tricked to create the game and then tricked again so they can imprison the GM there. Similar to how European mythlogies usually go.
There's a high potential for this franchise. If they don't plan on creating sequels, then can license it to other countries to create a local spin-off.
Later, the various winners from different countries somehow met in a resort and ended up playing the game again. But this time, they are all there to save someone left behind, in other words, they're competing instead of helping each other.
Actually, P is the correct pronunciation. However, not an aspirated P like how Germanic and Romance languages…
Which one is better? It depends.
If you learnt Western English, use Revised Romanization, so you pronounce the some letters as close as possible to how they actually sound.
If you learnt Philippine English, or grew up in a country whose pronunciations are similar to Korean, then use McCune–Reischauer Romanization.
HOWEVER, it is strongly discouraged to learn a new language based on Romanizations. No Romanization, even in Nihongo, Pinyin, Hebrew, can truly capture the actual pronunciation.
Learn it directly. Forget about Romanizations. It is the sounds that matter.
Does anyone know why Netflix translates Busan as 'Pusan'? Was it called that a long time ago or is this a translation…
Actually, P is the correct pronunciation. However, not an aspirated P like how Germanic and Romance languages pronounce it: aspirated P.
In RR, he base consonants like ㅂ and ㄱ became B and G respectively because Koreans hear aspirated/unaspirated far more than if it is voiceless or voiced.
For example: ㄱ
- ㄱ is voiceless and unaspirated = a.k.a. plain - k is voiceless and aspirated - g is voiced and unaspirated
When they created the RR, they went for the voiceless option because it's easier for Westerners. But you'll often hear native Koreans say it is actually much closer to "g", because naturally, unaspirated/aspirated is more important.
I said Westerners because in many Asian countries, it's actually different. For example, all of the 200+ Philippine languages and dialects:
- k is voiceless and unaspirated exactly like ㄱ when it is the first letter; a.k.a. plain - The same with p, our "p" is exactly the same as ㅂ when it is the first letter.
When you pronounced k and b (to mention two) as unaspirated, it does sound like g and p as native Koreans often say. However, for those who learned American, Australian, and British English, it's different (and often they can't make the correct sound) because it's aspirated for them.
Philippine English pronunciations are heavily influenced by Philippine languages, hence, those who learnt Philippine English often find it easier to learn speak and hear Korean.
So, going back, technically speaking "p" is correct, that is if you know what a plain (voiceless and unaspirated) "p" sounds like. Otherwise, just use "b".
Lastly, before 2000, the official Romanization was McCune–Reischauer Romanization which were designed by two Americans.
While Revised Romanization was developed by Koreans.
I really hate it whenever they turn a character they developed as strong, logical, and won't back down, into an emotional wreck.
Even if she realised she can fall in love and care for people, a logical person doesn't suddenly forget being logical. It's innate. You can't just turn it off.
What kind of a bodyguard is she that she can easlily lose her cool and rush to the targes, guns ablazing, without any plan?
And during their confrontation, she asked her, "Are you human"? (Or, something like that.) Like, hello, she killed her own brother. Yoo hoo. Did you leave your brain at the site of the crime or something?
Was it not obvious enough that she is not human? Why the F*** are you trying to appeal to her humanity? That was the stupidest and dumbest dialogue, and 180° character turn-around, I've ever seen.
/sarcasm on. Wait! I'm sorry, that was harsh. I forgot the villain is a Professor, a psych professor at that. Of course if compared to one such as her, everyone else becomes stupid and dumb. The FL is fine and "normal". It's the Professor who isn't. /sarcasm off.
My suspicion grew she is the real daughter. She survived the assassination or like I said before, maybe some friend of her's stole her identity and was the one who was murdered.

Hopefully we do get S02!!!

Yeah, they're not needed in the story. 😆

You know it was because when I watched E06, nothing from E05 was needed to understand E06. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm smelling a marriage proposal.
