I came here to see if Ki Ho was listed as an adult actor because the suspense is killing me already! I didn’t expect to like this drama as much as I do but my face hurts from smiling so much so I think I have a new obsession. I’m going to be tortured now waiting for new episodes D:
Randomly stumbled on this on YouTube and it was exactly like one of those ads for a Chinese web novel that I get all the time where she walks in on her boyfriend and friend cheating, slaps them and immediately falls into the arms of the billionaire CEO who’s been in love with her all along. It’s cute, short and surprisingly very kiss-heavy! 7/10 for me
Just checked out the cameo in episode 3 - love seeing these two again! Ah Min Hyuk is still a stylish dummy but so in love with Bong Soon. Wish we could have seen their twin girls though!
Totally expected the winner. Smart till the very end and never easily flustered! Always cool, calm and collected. Didn’t rely on anyone to win either which makes this ending well deserved. I started this purely because the poster reminded me of Alice in Borderland and I fully never expected to get so hooked.
I really enjoyed this! It was well done - not overly dragging plots, kept certain secrets until big reveals, the villains were very hateful, the main couple was gorgeous.
My thoughts: - No one is being forced to listen to ORBIT. He offers his advice and some people take it because it’s a smarter strategy than what they could think of (almost like a devil whispering into your ear about what you should vs should not do…). I didn’t enjoy his ideology of trying to save everyone but it has made for more interesting game play in terms of forming alliances. - Dong Jae made himself a target when he deceived everyone in the first game and when he tried to backtrack (and form a new alliance), it blew up in his face. - Guillaume stuck to his initial alliance and was sacrificed to the game when it didn’t work out. - Yeon Woo literally had a game tailored to her and still got sent home. She was the weakest link in my opinion (she would have been sent to jail three out of four times had she stayed) so I think it was smart of Seok Jin to send her home. Same with Hye Sung - as cute as she was, she played the victim card so hard, crying her eyes out whenever she got frustrated and not really contributing anything to the games.
So far, I’m rooting the most for Kyeong Rim. She’s very smart (apart from the first game where she was broadcasting her role wayyy too hard) and works really well with everyone. I don’t like how two-faced Joon Bin is and Yu Min is playing the victim to get ahead too much for my liking. Seok Jin is playing the game brilliantly but I think See Won might bring him down if she keeps emphasizing on taking down ORBIT so hard. Pretty neutral about the others.
I NEED SEASON 2 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I miss everyone even stupid Tushan Huo and Xin Yue and they are my least favourite characters. I’m going through some major Cang Xuan withdrawals! PLEASE TENCENT PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
I’m enjoying it! The game rules are a bit confusing but once they start playing I get it a lot more. Very different personalities and I’m looking forward to seeing how they’ll eventually clash.
A surprise hit for me! Love a second chance trope and watching the baddies get their due! Already binged all available episodes. Hope it continues to be good!
Thinking of creating a chapter by chapter summary of the novel with the main events of each chapter. Does it already exist though? Don’t want to start if someone has already done the work.
I love a good second chance story :D
The main actors are so pretty, I’m dazzled all the time *.*
