I was so happy watching episode 7 to see them crash and burn but when things started going wrong again in episode 8, I clicked off so fast 🤣 I will wait till next week when I can see a happy ending; I don’t want to spend the next 7 days in suspense!

OOOF THE ENDING OF EPISODE 6 *CHEF’S KISS*

Ooh, the ending for ep 4 was super good! The vibe is so different from the Korean version, I’m really enjoying watching how everything is unfolding differently.

I really enjoyed the webtoon and the Korean version and I like this one as well. It’s less comedy vibe than the Korean version. Unfortunately her fashion upgrade isn’t really doing it for me but I hope it improves. Intrigued to see how this unfolds considering it’s only ten episodes

No one probably cares but disclaimer for Kamekichi, the turtle: please do not take wild turtles to keep as pets! He should have been taken to a zoo or a rescue instead.

Also, his enclosure looks aesthetic but is not suitable for turtles - they need deeper water to swim in, a much larger enclosure, that lighting is probably not providing sufficient UVB or heating for him to bask and they’re dumb enough to try to eat those decorative pebbles.

Turtles are typically not social pets and live a long life (30+ years) so if you are inspired to get one as a pet, please do your research and adopt if you can, rather than buy.

I say this as a dumb kid who got a turtle when I was 10 because they were cheap and popular pets. Donatello is now 20 and still going strong but the amount of poop and filter cleaning is ungodly.

Nope, not really. There’s a hint of a past romance between two characters but no main characters falling in love, no skinship or anything

Don’t know how many times I have rewatched this. Every story is so important (suicide, bullying (both school and online), sexual assault, veteran appreciation, body dysmorphia, the story of the comfort women, loss of a child) and the endings for the villains are very satisfying.

Also, I can never stop admiring all of Lee Soo Hyuk’s outfits in this. The gloves, the capes, all black - chef’s kiss. The man was made to be a grim reaper.

I love Koo Ryeon’s pink eyeshadow on her and its significance but I don’t think I’d ever be able to pull off that look.

Very much a nothing burger after all that build up, teasing the male doll, looking for the island etc. I’m just glad Gi Hun can be put to rest because if he knew the games were continuing in the US (where his daughter lives), he’d lose his mind all over again. I wish there was something meaningful about Baby 222’s name and how she is the only innocent survivor in this history of the Squid Games but alas, I did not get that. Also, if they want to do an American version of Squid Games, continuing to use the Korean games really don’t make sense - one of the fun parts about learning the games in season 1 was the contestants’ childhood games were made into these bloody weapons to turn them into murderers. I dunno what is considered American games but I know the ddakji is probably not it.

Cannot get over him as Jinu in Kpop Demon Hunters on Netflix. For his first voice acting role, he was incredible! I’ve been obsessed since the movie came out on 20/06. Love that he got to sing a tiny bit too at the beginning! His voice is divine.
Rewatching Business Proposal now because I miss him😭

Aw that would have been amazing! Also hilarious about not naming the kid. Just finished rewatching and this added a nice touch I felt the end of the drama was missing.

This isn’t a drama, this is idol-fan / reverse harem / step-sibling / cute innocent girl vs multiple persistent men kink and fan service central! It feels almost wrong watching it.
Turn your brain off, ignore morals and prepare for a cringe fest.
I will say, everyone is outrageously attractive.

Just what I needed - sweet and dumb! This is very much one of those dramas where you need to turn your brain off to watch. The villains are comical, the plots are overlapping and the schemes are at an all time high.
I enjoyed it for the most part - the misunderstanding trope got a bit long for my liking but for most of the drama, I liked our main couple’s brains and cooperations.

Didn’t enjoy this as much as the first season. Sending so many people to prison really didn’t make sense at all and the advantages of the hidden stages were way too steep in my opinion. I also don’t think they allowed them to play to their own strengths in the game; instead everyone relied on alliances rather than natural talent. Maybe it’s just that they didn’t get to show their abilities but the casting wasn’t as good as the first season.

I really like it - it’s fun and campy and not to be taken seriously at all! I think it has the fun essence of the webtoon. Seo Hyun is amazing.

Was holding off until part 2 aired because I didn’t want to be burned again like I was in Lost You Forever but here I am, the Yang Zi pull was too strong 😍

Ugh, it’s so good even on the 3rd rewatch…actually it might be 4th, I don’t remember anymore. 🤣
Was looking at the voice actors - it appears that Wang Xing Yue did his own voice acting for this role?

Aw that’s sad; I’ve been dying to see more of Liu Yining and Song Zuer interaction. Thanks for the reply though!

Any chance of a Hello Saturday episode with this cast?

Y’all, why did no one warn me about Li Tongguang’s humiliation kink?!

(I mean, I get it, especially when it’s Liu Shi Shi but wow 👁️👄👁️)

Listen, this drama was a 10/10 up until episode 34 when it took a swift nose dive for me. I felt that both leads became sidelined in their story, especially the female lead in the last episode.

She was so involved in the previous war efforts that watching her sit and pray on the sidelines felt very out of character for her. I get it, the woman had just given birth but she’s so crafty, I thought for sure she’d have some brilliant way of turning the tide like last time.

Shiyuan’s effort was appreciated but I felt we could have seen them work together to defeat the enemy and him accept her as a friend/sister after all the previous relationship drama.

I disliked the ending for Lady Yuluo, totally unfulfilling and lacking for her. Qiao Fan’s epiphany took too long. Wei Liang’s ending felt cruel and unnecessary.

I dunno, overall I’m not satisfied with the ending. It was cute to see Wei Shao become a total girl dad though, that was fun. Still, I’ll rate the rest of the show a 9/10! It is probably one of the best enemies to lovers cdramas I’ve seen.
