Sadly most Netflix content from any country is mediocre. The last good Netflix Kdrama was Squid Game imo, and before that, Kingdom. Not much else has been good.

Looks very low budget. And considering it's Netflix, I will probably pass as well.

Premise sounds awesome, excited.

As a side note, Korean actors really need to stop doing the fist pose in photoshoots. They're not MMA fighters lol.

This is definitely one of the more interesting concepts in Netflix lineup.

But I'm trying to remember the last good Netflix K-drama. I honestly think I'd have to go all the way back to Kingdom/Ashin.

EDIT: Actually, Squid Game.

Thank you!

Anyone know where we might be able to watch in the US? And how long it might take to come out?

This is getting solid reviews in Korea so far.

I can't believe they originally wanted Song Joong Ki as the prince. He looks way too frail to be doing any sort of fighting. I honestly think it would've ruined the show to cast him.

Ju Ji Hoon makes so much more sense.

Some positive early reviews: filmarks.com/movies/114612

Yep, sort of what I expected. This is the case with most Netflix shows unfortunately.

Saw a review saying it's basically a generic Netflix show but with amazing action. That's kind of what I expected, but still happy Japan is making some more modern-looking shows.

So many Lee Do Hyun mentions, but I bet Kim Go Eun is going to steal the show. Her presence in the trailers alone is several levels above everyone else so far.

Main actor looks like Asian Adam Driver.

Damn. This looks a lot better than I expected. I hope the writing is good.

This comes out in 2 weeks and not a peep of promotion.

EDIT: Never mind, trailer's here!

New trailer has Parasite vibes.

Really interesting premise. But anyone else feel like the cinematography looks a little Netflix-ish?

Those who seek power are usually those who you don't want in power.

This is also why communism usually turns into a dictatorship. To get to communism, you have to first give one group or person absolute power. Problem is, once they get that power, they're not going to give it up.

This came out during the pandemic when everyone was bored at home looking for entertainment.

If it came out today, I bet the rating would be in the 7's. And below 6 on Douban.

The first few episodes were amazing, and then the writing quality completely collapsed during the last 3. The lead guy has the charisma of a wooden plank, but the other characters were great. Too many plotholes and shoehorned scenarios made this season altogether so, so bad.
