removed two points because of the lacking plot and character developments. as its own season, i expected it to have a completed story, not to be left on a cliffhanger ending having to wait months for season 3 π€¦ββοΈ
first, gihun. the first two episodes had me feeling hyped cuz he looked like he was ready to take revenge fr! then i saw the later episodes and.... some of his actions were just plain dumb sorry. bro only worked on his physical abilities, not mental. after finding out that one of players in s1 was the creator, shouldn't he be wary of the players in s2? plus, he wanted to save the players, so why did he suddenly decide that killing off a few of them would be okay?
now the detective/tracking plot. junho my guy, you were so cool in s1 then useless in s2. all that ship sailing went absolutely nowhere. it's almost like they just wanted to give his character smth to do since they knew how popular he got in s1...!
lastly, i wish they dove deeper into each of the characters and their relationships, ex: hyunju, youngmi, and semi. we got some nice scenes here and there but it wasn't enough for me to build a strong emotional connection with them and therefore bawl when they got killed off like i did in s1 with ali, saebyeok, jiyeong, and even sangwoo. i also thought we were gonna get a scene with gyeongseok (player 246) and noeul (guard 011) but nope π
i still liked the show overall, just disappointed about some things. now the parts i liked: + more gong yoo screentime! + those two guys who followed gong yoo were funny. too bad they only appeared for a little bit + the bread or gamble scene and its significance + new and interesting characters (ex: noeul, a guard; junhui, a pregnant woman; hyunju, a transgender; and thanos, a bipolar drug addict?) + realistic characters (ex: minsu and daeho) + gihun and inho's very intriguing dynamic + hyunju slayyyy i love when she shot the cameras + the mingle game β the concept ofc, not the killings
of course... an ad hominem! how ironic when half of their watchlist is literally kdramas LMAO
why make it about the countries when OP never even mentioned it? your kdrama superiority complex and prejudice against cdramas is painfully obvious. maybe try staying on topic next time instead of letting your bias do all the yapping.
it's kinda not a sequel, it's the same drama, just under another name, according to sources, this is actually…
a while back, someone said that the dramas might be able to air back-to-back because the plots of the two parts are different and therefore count as two different dramas, but we won't know for sure until the time actually comes
No, it wasn't solely cuz of Jisoo. Majority of the criticism was directed at the writers for distorting South…
You're welcome! And the cast did get a lot of critcism back then for starring in this drama (it's just that many fans still defended them/the whole situation). Jisoo unfortunately got the brunt of it since she's the most well-known cast member here.
man the way this show was treated didnt fucking deserve , all because a kpop idol is there didnt sit right with…
No, it wasn't solely cuz of Jisoo. Majority of the criticism was directed at the writers for distorting South Korean history. For example, the drama portrayed the Agency for National Security Planning (represented by the characters Kang Moo and Han Na) as likeable people who simply wanted to get rid of North Korean spies, when in reality, that agency tortured innocent lives *under the excuse* of ridding North Korean spies. Also, there are some names in the drama that sound similar to real-life people who were involved in those incidents.
i wish that she could stop doing dramas and any other public activities for at least six months to focus on herself and her health. it's really tough being a celebrity in an industry with such extreme standards and spiteful netizens.. π
No doubt, TJC can act. That 3-minute performance in Under the Skin 2 is breathtakingβit gives goosebumps. Yu…
Well a lot of people thought TJC wouldn't do Xiang Liu from Lost You Forever justice either cuz of his "height" and "looks" but here we are... his character is still very popular today, even though S1 ended in August 2023 and S2 ended in July 2024 ;)
But you are entitled to your own opinion after all, and just like you, I also trust/hope that the casting staff will choose the best suited people for this drama
ooo that'd be interesting! esther's really getting all the popular guys now haha. lin yi, ding yuxi, wang hedi, xu kai, zhang linghe, now maybe even tan jianci?
