A well written detective drama. Gets more and more intense as it proceeds. We think we can guess who the murderer is, but actually can't. Yet it is all very logical. I was invested through the entire drama. The two detectives' family life is well knit together with the serials murders plot. The police team is another family in itself. The two timelines (1997, 2010) show not just change in characters, but the whole city and its skyline. Cinematography is great. Highly recommended 8/10.
There are zero reasons why they couldn't air all the already filmed 10 episodes at once. I wouldn't complain about protest ratings. Ending always has a big impact on how people rate dramas.
I liked the first 2 episodes. But why keep this from airing so long and then leave the ending open. Just 2 episodes…
- why did Gi Hun keep the prize money in his basement (likely to get stolen) instead of using it to save lives? He could have given it anonymously for those in need or a children's hospital. That would have been the best redemption for those who died in the game.
- As Gi Hun wanted to save lives, getting soldiers and fellow competitors shot was not really logical. He could have shot down the money and the killing would have been avoided.
- Gi Hun didn't tell the competitors that when teaming up they would also die as teams.
- The best way for this to end would have been that In Ho would have turned around and stopped the game. Since he got to know his fellow competitors as humans and not just characters in screen.
- why did the players not discuss the possibility that the organizers could never let them get out alive bc that would make the game become public knowledge.
- if S2 had been more about moral and philosophy and less about bloodbathing that would have been great for the reputation of k-drama. Since this is likely what most people not familiar with kdramaworld would still watch.
I liked the first 2 episodes. But why keep this from airing so long and then leave the ending open. Just 2 episodes more would have been enough to wrap it all up. Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun are such epic actors that I watched mainly for their sake. But the plot holes were immense. 7.5./10
Lol. It's not a cameo appearance, her role is central. And we've already seen a lot of her in the first 2 episodes. It's ridiculous that lo_ve asks these questions when it can't be bothered with user comments. Just spins out copies of soompi articles without any effort of its own.
K-movies don't have the extraordinary qualities that k-dramas have. Many of these like Following, Badland Hunters, Mission Cross, Hijack 1971, Wonderland, were watchable but forgettable. Oftentimes KBS Drama Specials are more fresh and interesting. With small budgets comes the freedom to experiment more. The best drama specials show how a full memorable story with great depth can be told in 1.5 hours. From this year's KBS drama specials (5 so far) History of Us was a 10/10, great writing wih a deep message. Find Handsome was cute and entertaining, no forced humour there.
