haha indeed. One Spring Night was already a replay of Something in the Rain. I've watched SITR twice and love it, but One Spring Night was a drag to watch (putting it mildly). Sitting out 3rd and future rounds.

Last episode was pure joy. 10/10. Will definitely watch again.

Why would you think "Knets" opinions are interesting or correct. Pls stop with this.

Korean newspapers are comparing 8 show to Squid Game: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-05-13/entertainment/television/Netflixs-new-survival-drama-The-8-Show-poses-a-different-type-of-Squid-Game/2045544

I agree, it's very basic. No doubt it will win all the awards though.

I can acknowledge this is a well made and well thought out drama that really makes you think. But I had to skip a lot. The torture scenes and violence were a bit too extreme for me. And now I'm thinking this could have been so much better and not so basic if that aspect had been toned down; it didn't have to be that extreme. How great it would have been if they the participants started to take the show into their own hands early on. 6.5

getting better and better. The direction it's going is perfect. Loving this to bits. The cham cham cham uncle is hilarious. 9.5/10 so far at ep 8.

I watched it on Kissasian

I'm seeing the same thing, honestly. It's not slow burn just slow and boring. Nothing justifies calling it a "quality drama". Btw I dropped in the beginning of ep 2 bc all of the blandness was quite obvious by then and I was watching Begins Youth which grabs your intestines and pulls them out but in a good and purifying way.

absolutely, it makes no sense

strong start

it's an open ending, imo, if you watch ep 12 it becomes clear that it's kept a mystery and any interpretation is possible

Really great acting in Begins Youth, hope to see him in many more dramas.

it's rare to see people talking about Life. I watched it twice, yes the script and acting is top notch (I dropped Missing Crown Prince at ep 4, just coming here to read the comments).

There were funny parts. But I didn't expect this to be centered around school bullying. I've seen enough of that theme. I was disappointed that Park Sung Woong was kept in coma for most of the movie, he was simply born to be an actor. (Plus he was in coma in Unlock the Boss). 6/10

The narration feels sketchy, as if this was an illustrated history documentary instead of a drama. There is no fleshing out of the characters, or the plot. It feels like Disney cut out 20 mins from each episode. The action parts are of course kept, Disney-style. It's good that the actors probably get paid well, but Disney -style is detrimental to k-drama. Dropped at ep 3.

Siwon was the ML in Love is for Suckers. But GKP's role is really *exactly similar* to his role in Love in Contract.

Just like in Love for Suckers, there is no satire or parody of reality / dating shows. Or if there's meant to be it's too soft by far. If this was wholly slapstick it'd be so much better. The only thing I like is Joo Jong Hyuk's acting as the trot king.

I had to pause at exactly the same point.

Agreed, the team was the best part and their stories were left hanging.
