I enjoyed them a lot, but I also feel like the editing was quite bad in eps 3&4. While first two episodes had this amazing indie vibe production wise, eps 3&4 at times just looked unprofessional because of the poorly placed cuts and how the scenes transitioned.

yeah... I think the editing is the weakest part of the show

I guess it comes from the series being an edit of a movie. < it really does not tho hahaha coz they can just edit in the same scene they ended up 2 on, as a set up for the kiss 😅😅 they can literally use them same footage.

I mean... Jae Won obviously has issues, so him dating a trash like that is not exactly that surprising 🤡

the way Jae Won kissed him and then got up and left like nothing happened 🤡

It's a thing universal to all countries: one thinks that as long as they speak slow and loud the foreigners who don't speak their language will somehow understand them 🤣🤣

I adore Jae Won and Yoon Won. I could just watch them drink, eat pizza and talk about life for all episodes. Make it a podcast. Yo but imagine! Like... special content for shows - podcasts with the characters, as a way to promote the show! How awesome that would be!

Okay one complaint - i dislike how they end and start next episode. How ep 3 started right from the kiss, it lacked that buildup, they should have just add the set up to this scene from the previous ep. And now ep 4... these just don't flow well for me...

Jae Won is playing push and pull HARD! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jae Won has such a shitty friends, Can he stop trying to set him up with his ex? for fuck sake.

I'm Jae Won... his therapy sessions hit hard 😅

yo that was such an awkward fade to black ending for the episode 🤡🤡🤡🤡

But that's kind of the point. In this fantasy word, humans are weak... hence Khatha and Dome ae weak. I don't think anyone says it makes no sense overall (I have some issues with how it was presented, but it's more production and less writing issue), that they are not weak. They are just stating the fact. There are explanations why they are weak, but at the end of the day... they are weak.

Are they taken hostage? None of them seems excited... not even interested in being there 🤣
I never seen teenage boys with less energy than this opening shot 😅
K-Soul is my favorite. He is something else hahahah 🙂

Jeon So Yeon's outfit is barely a dress 🤣 she looks amazing, but she brave to wear it coz dam there is many ways for it to expose a bit too much on screen 🤡

Auditions:
Junwon - The color of his voice fits the song, but his runs seem a bit unstable. Really good with expressing the vibe of the song with his moves tho! Big moves, good waves. Preparing dance and song was risky tho. I get he wanted to show two sides of himself, but at the end of the day the judges have no idea if he can keep up vocally while dancing at the same time.

TK - wait... he said his singing is better and he was singing for 2 years? How is he so bad 🤣🤣🤣 I am legit shocked. Poor guy, he obviously got into the show to be the joke of it. It's not like he made mistake, he literally is tone deaf. He cannot hear the pitch. Kang Seung Yoon went: his pronunciation is part of the problem. Me be like: that's his last problem lol

(side note: the editing is so bad, they already show trainees in 1st grade without showing their performance. and they show like one line of the evaluation without explanation of what the judges meant lol)

Minseo - he is mid so the beginning of the song was rather unstable, but the chorus was fine, except literally few higher lines. I don;';t think it was a good choice for the solo performance tho, this song benefits a lot from the group energy. I think he picked it simply because the traditional theme fitted his sword performance. But he did really good with dancing.

Hyeontae - I had to pause after first line. What an amazing vocal! AND HE HAS SUCH A VIBE WHEN HE IS DACING TOO! AMAZING! THIS CHILD WILL GO PLACES!

Daehyeon - the way he went to So Yeon while singing 🤣 While he sang well, this is not exactly the type of voice I personally like. Also, that's kind of a weird song to pick, coz it has rather old fashioned vibe, completely not fitting idol image. They also TRIED to make his dancing look better with all the slow mo and editing during the verse (coz the choreo there is rather stationary, made to look good with more members not as a solo act). The chorus was real good tho. side note: i am so bored with abs in kpop...

Jinmyung - ahhh... the dancing was messy. really messy. the rap was fine ish? it was not relaxed enough tho. I felt like he struggled to keep up.

The survival shows this year are especially gay 👍🏻

Woonseok - HIS SISTER IS SUZY? WHAT A TWIST OMG. omg... this guy... he good. got everyone interested and then managed to promote his sister's group lol Okay performance wise it was fine, but I had small issue with his expressions. It was either really intentional like wink, smile etc, but between them his face looked... bored? and it kind of drained the energy out of the performance.

Shiryu - sljgkghrh oof what a beautiful lines when dancing. yes. thank you. The verse singing was great... but then he ad-lib was 😶 maybe because i don't really like nasal high notes...

K-Soul - wait... he is singing live? Coz i am not sure 😅 he is not singing live right?, no way hahaha he barely open his mouth with we here rather open sound hahaha His dancing is fine tho. Personality wise, I love him. I love how confident he is, but he is also trying to encourage other trainees! okay but was it live singing or not? Or was it slightly edited later? Coz it just did not match his movements lol

Hikaru - good singing! he is goooooood! This choreo is such a killer. Deserves the rank he got for sure!

Jaeyeong - He has good voice, this this is such an old fashioned way of singing, especially how he ends notes with this really strong vibratto hahahaha I think he just picked the wrong song, and he would be a lot better with something softer lol dude was like - learn singing a lot, all these hours for 2 years... Like, he sings well for someone who never trained, but with this training this is the level he got to? His personality tho, it's so funny 🤣

Pete K. - That was A+ in terms of rap. He did not get 1st grade coz he did not really show his dancing.

Sungmin - I just love idols who seem possessed on the stage. Love this guy.

Sure it's low, but it would be still higher than if he cannot fight at all 🤣🤣

You don't have to be violent to train your body and fighting skills. You can use your fighting skills only for defense. For me there were just too many fighting scenes shown, when no one actually knew how to fight. And that's a thing I can accept when there is reason to show it - hyperrealism (since most people on the planet don't really know how to fight) or to showcase the weakness of the character. So if these were no the cases here, I feel like they could have approach the fight scenes differently, since it is a fantasy show after all.

Both him and Dome are physically weak characters. That's a fact, and that's what most people talk about. Or at least that's what I mean. dome could not control nor handle his power so he passed out almost every episode, and Khatha got beaten up by almost all characters.

I mean... so many years of living dangerous life, one would hit a gym few times and take some fighting lessons to train their body 🤡

obviously, I'm just pointing out he is not just an immortal human and he in fact has something to help him fight a bit. Also, all the years he lived, he could have polished his fighting scenes, but most of his punches did not really land 😅With this set up, and the characters ever talking about how dangerous their lives are, one would think he would train himself a bit more. So that was my issue, everyone seemed quite physically weak, when for me Khatha should have been stronger and better fighter in his position.

He had this magical ball tho, that he used to fight 😅 that had magic in it.

It was a mess but I fell in love with this mess 🤣

We saw only a glimpse of possibility in the last episode, but that was enough for me 🤡

I'm not gonna lie... I would also not mind Tor and Nanon 🤡

Yeah I don't mean they are not real as in object, I mean they were... created with the purpose of testing Khatha... They were not "natural beings". Kind of like June, she exists, but she was created not by natural "for us humans" means.

this is basically a Why R U 2.0 for me 😂😂😂

I would cry. I would die. I would be in heaven.
i need it!

I feel like second season would be better tbh. I think they struggled a lot of good set up, but now if they just continue the shot that happened in last episode with Khatha, Dome, The One and Boon being the main players, it can work.

great minds think alike 😂😂😂
Nanon 😍😍 I think his performance was my favorite. Him playing the mannequin, then The One, then like Dome, then back to the One but more crazy 😂😂😂 PERFECTION.

Listen, I might have given in 8, but I'm spilling the real tea with words in the review 🤡

I gave it 8 🤡 I am fully aware it's not really 8. But I am brainwashed by Nanon's performance and Khatha saying Dome is his missing piece 🙂
