The plot is pretty simple but for some reason I'm really enjoying this drama. It's short, it's cute and the acting feels so natural, sometimes I even forget that there's a script. I'm impressed since for a lot of the cast, it seems to be their first drama.
It actually bring something new to death genre, it brought new viewers hahahah...People who was not fond of death…
I think one of the main reasons it got so much attention is that it's a Netflix production so it's more accessible to a lot of people worldwide. Also it's all over social media and there's memes of it everywhere. I do think some of the praise is because it's South Korean. East Asian media is kind of a trend these days... But yeah, I understand that some people might like it! I just personally didn't and wanted to share my opinion.
I only watched this to see what the hype was all about and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed??? Like the games weren't that interesting and the ""twist"" at the end just made me go "what- that's it?" I guess if you're not familiar with this genre, you might enjoy it but if you've seen dramas/anime or read books/manga with a similar concept (and it's been done SO many times) you're probably not going to be impressed. Well I wasn't at least. To me it doesn't really bring anything new to the death game genre. The sets were pretty cool though, especially the colorful stairs. That's one thing I liked.
Only watched the first two episodes but I cried like four times already... (': I only started watching this because Zhou Yutong was in it (her acting didn't disappoint, she's so good) and I ended up loving the story so much. The whole cast is fantastic!
To be honest, I’ve never really liked dramas about gaming and I only started watching this for Dilireba BUT surprisingly I’m really enjoying it! I love the atmosphere and the pacing, it’s really nice. (It stills takes everything in me not to skip all those gaming scenes though, I can’t lie.)
This drama really shows how messed up the justice system is... The last episode made me so angry but I'm sure…
Like the fact that the police killed the man who was getting revenge for his dead daughter and thus protected the one who assaulted and killed multiple girls. Or how they're so desensitized to rape and assault that they watched the video like they were just casually watching the news at home on a Sunday morning (one of them was literally brushing his teeth and rubbing his stomach while watching). This scene really stood out to me.
This drama really shows how messed up the justice system is... The last episode made me so angry but I'm sure that was the point. And I liked the talk at the end about how "police don't protect the citizens, they protect the law". Really loved this drama.
I think this is one of the best dramas from this season, quality wise. The cinematography is amazing, everything is so beautifully shot and the acting from both the main and supportive cast is great too. This drama feels so raw that it manages to make me feel uncomfortable during certain scenes (and I rarely feel this way even with other shows that touch similar topics). Every episode is an experience. Can't believe there's only two left already.
I've NEVER EVER seen a drama before where misunderstandings get resolved this quickly (well at least until ep 17, hope that won't change in the future episodes). I really appreciate this! Couples in dramas always lack communication and it can get so annoying to watch, to be honest...
Do you know what's the schedule??How many episodes a week??
Oh sorry!! So there's a new episode everyday from today until May 26, then from May 30 until June 2 and then every Sunday to Wednesday until June 23. Hope that makes sense.
Do you know what's the schedule??How many episodes a week??
I just found the schedule here! It’s pretty inconsistent and confusing to be honest : https://m.weibo.cn/7415051503/4638899139250031 (the first line is for VIP users and the second one is regular users)
The ending of ep 4...... I have never seen such pure cuteness in a drama before I'm smiling so hard (((':
The way they were laughing looked so natural I love it so much!!!!! Also really appreciate that they didn't make us wait ten episodes for the confession, I'm so tired of this trope in dramas,,
Really nice first episode!! To be very honest I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this partly because Yokohama Ryusei's acting did not convince me at all in Watashitachi wa douka shiteiru (which is the only drama of his I've seen) BUT I think his role this time fits him pretty well! I'm enjoying Kawaguchi Haruna's performance too. Looking forward to the next episode (:
