I agree. But it's possible that both SB and JH are money, right...? Leaving only 1 money among the ladies (who we all know.) I swear sooji and yongho together are so boring, I don't get why he thinks their conversations click. Even I think it was her looks that drew him, but to not seem so thoughtless in his choice he is making up reasons about compatibility. I liked him in the beginning, but I've completely lost interest now.

I think so too. but sooji sangbeom also gives off heavy MC vibes, and since there are only 3 MCs, I'm so confused. At this point I'm suspicious of everyone. Even the way taehyuk was desperate to get the final question looks like a smart way he avoided being at the receiving end of the question. tbh apart from yongho, sooro and seungyeon, there's noone I'm sure of being LC

today's cliffhanger is the worst 😭😭😭

Same! My heart was beating so fast, I was so anxious for her. I hope the preview is just manipulative editing. I don't want Sooro and Taeun to grow apart because of her identity. Because although she's money, her feelings for Sooro are sincere. I've honestly given up on Yongho. 2%??? lol what even!!? btw what do you think Jonghyun's identity is?

This was a fun watch. Lot's of comedy and amazing chemistry between Ma Dongseok and Jung Kyungho.

I love the cast and I watched for them. The movie? I didn't dislike it... But i don't think I particularly liked it either. I just feel indifferent about it. Neither good, nor bad, just a meh film.

Just finished watching the show. I'm actually happy for the couples who made it, although Hanyoung still gives me iffy vibes with his indecisive attitude. I get where Seryeong is coming from, but I wish she was more honest with her feelings and sternly rejected Hyeongbeom. Although I like Elaine sm, I think Dowook made the right decision. Outside of this show I don't see them leading a healthy relationship. Jeongeon and Heekyung were the cutest couple and I hope they're doing well.

i think it's just kanghoon with specs. i don't remember the exact ep the family portrait was shown in, but I'm pretty sure it's him.

exactly! he's just gone back to his original life. although 17yrs is a long time it doesn't compare to the even longer time he has lived as YHW

I'm seeing a lot of comments calling the ending the worst. Idk if the disappointment is coming from the fact that it didn't follow the book ending. I didn't even know this was based on a book, so I'm just gonna comment on the drama as an independent entity, not as something I looked at in comparison to an existing novel.

I get that the audience has grown attached to JDJ as the hero who will take over Soonyang throughout the last 15 eps. But to me JDJ was always YHW who had come to take his revenge. But after the death of his mother he was losing focus on his goal of taking down Soonyang and became a true chaebol with his desires to make Soonyang his. Even if we say he was going against the inheritance of management rights, JDJ getting the management rights doesn't really disperse it off of the family tree. Also with SMY saying "you'll get worse as you'd wanna keep the power" we can actually see that JDJ will soon go down because he's getting greedier. The grandfather he initially looked down on as selfish and power hungry grew into a role model over the years. It only feels right that YHW finally returned to his life to realise what is important to him (not buying Soonyang, but taking the owners down). He finally gets a chance to look back on how wrong he has lived life. And through JDJ he finally has an opportunity to repent.

This is not the best drama I've watched. It wasn't since the beginning (I'm someone who used to wonder why's the ratings so high when it hit double digits in a few eps). But it surely is nowhere near the worst. The ending made sense to me. Surely there are plot holes, but if you're watching a drama as dramatic as this one you should know that there'd be some questionable factors you'd have to overlook. overall a fun watch. I'd never call it a waste of time.

didn't they use kanghoon to for both JDJ and YHW's childhood? Or am I tripping?

if he had asked her out in the end that would've been very weird. firstly, there's nothing romantic going on between YHW and SMY. secondly, although he has repented it doesn't change the fact that he's an accomplice to the murder of the love of her life. this way the ending is more open, audience who still wish them together can come to the conclusion that somewhere in the future they did end up together. I'm of the opposing view, and I'd rather like them to live out their lives in their separate ways. Because this allows us to create our own conclusions, I am happy with the way it ended.

i watch a drama i feel happy and satisfied, then i come on this website and see a bunch of people talk shit about it. i think this is the kinda drama you drop if you feel like it's not a drama for you. stop sticking till the end with dramas you can't stomach only to criticize it. i personally loved it. i loved it the moment i started watching and have never missed an ep as it aired. i'm guessing people who don't like it are too young, that they haven't reached the crossroads in life where yeoreum was at when everything start to seem pointless. and it's anguk and it's people that added meaning to her life. this drama is simple, but warm. i might've started this drama because of siwan, but i completed it because of seolhyun. right from the first ep she had me crying. yeoreum was representative of you, me and everyone in society who has been conditioned by society to wordlessly endure everything the universe throws at us. there isn't really an epiphanic moment where she goes all ballistic (like what most people would've loved to seen.) but i believe that's what makes this drama special. it shows how people don't change in an instant (something dramas and movies make look so easy), bom's dad being the greatest example. yeoreum is still her timid self, but she now has more people around her who give her courage to voice her opinions and will even fight for her (bom.) this is a beautiful drama, and I'm actually grateful that they didn't ruin the tone of the drama with an unfitting kiss.

I read that in the manga, the one who ultimately controls the games is the joker. in that case it makes sense that they're put through something cruel and unfair. because there is someone in control, who's enjoying this whole process. if it was something just a limbo between life and death that they reached naturally I'd have hated it because just shows that the ultimate power (god) is unfair.

exactly what i was thinking. as someone who belongs to neither of the 3 countries i had not even thought negatively of the 2 countries, rather the mind of all these people who are against landing, including the citizens and govt officials of s.korea. if one sees this as a political statement, then it's just their thoughts reflecting into it. bc in every country there will be people who are for and against a situation like this. japan and usa refusing to let them land will never be as severe as korea forcing their own people into suicide...

that's just so sad tho, that they have to go through something this cruel to reach death or (for some fortunate ones) to come back to life. some games are just luck, others physical or psychological. there's no fair evaluation of who has willingness to live. one could be desperate to live and still lose psychologically or physically. and had arisu given into the psychiatrist plot mira devised none of them would've made it out... ik this is fiction, but ugh! this is tragic that even in death there's no peace. i feel so bad for those people who died in the games, they didn't even get an option to choose 😣😭

4 more eps and we'll know 😭😭 fingers crossed!!

which is why it's just a theory. surely there are ifs and buts, but with this drama we have to keep our eyes and ears open to all possibilities. let's not rule out anything as impossible. i also don't really favour the idea of a second ice stone coming to the world, but if that risk somehow leads to the possibility of a happy ending for our leads, then why not.

aha! i wasn't considering a second ice stone. that's an interesting theory. i don't think it's impossible. but obtaining the ice stone from jinmu surely won't be easy. let's see how it goes.

someone pls explain HOW the games happened! i realise that they all were severely hurt from the meteorite, and their hearts stopped for a minute. but HOW did all of them end up in this game in that minute? at first i thought it was just an illusion created by arisu's game addict mind with all the people he passed by as characters. but since all these people had this 1min hear stopping moment, it means all of them were present in the gaming world, it's just that none of them remembers it. so did the meteorite take them there, or was it some afterlife bullshit? like i'm clueless as to HOW it happened. also does the joker at the end mean we're getting a s3??
