Fake news, questionable morality, and troublesome technology
"7 Escape" was an organized mess. It had all the "charm" of a sinking ship. There were plenty of moments that threatened to send me scrambling for the nearest escape route (the poor character development, repetitive conflict, pseudo-romantic encounters, rushed redemption arc), and plenty of others that managed to serve up food for thought on the human conditionOne moment of revelation was the ill-fated character "K," who was swapped at birth and brought up in a wealthy household. After discovering his origins, he was discarded by his once-doting family. K's words, "noone can be family unless you're related by blood" (episode 12, 32:34) and "since I was young, I was the one to entertain and serve Father, why am I the fake son?" (episode 12, 39:25), invite us to question society's obsession with "biological lineage." Far too often, adoptive families or children are seen as "less worthy." The pursuit of a biological "mini-me" takes precedence, as if blood were the determinant of familial bonds. This skewed perception belittles the love, commitment, and joy found in adoptive families
Another moment was the dichotomy between "the real and the fake" (episode 12, 39:00). The drama reminds us that no matter how convincingly something mimics reality, there will always be a distinction. Even if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it might not be a duck
Finally, the dangers of technology wielded by those ignorant of its potential. "7 Escape" considers our unhealthy relationship with technology and the ramifications of unchecked technological advancements. It draws attention to humanity's "vulnerability" to the influence of fake news (episode 12, 15:16), a significant issue in the modern, tech-driven society
In conclusion, "7 Escape" was a blend of misguided, cringe-worthy storytelling and surprising insight. It had both irredeemable and redeeming qualities

Ridiculous but fun
This is my first review ever and í like this show, from the face mask to the multiple resurrections from death to the unfairness of Bang Da Mi's death, it was an exciting messy watch.Nothing is serious in this drama and its better to not take the drama seriously and just use this as a dinner watch.
Will I watch this show again? No.
Will I remember every detail? Absolutely not. So much insane bs happened in this show. There's no way one can remember all.
Did i enjoy watching this show? Absolutely. No show of 2024 was as fun as this.

SUPER FUNNNN
I can honestly tell you that makjangs are super fun dramas ?Can't really explain it but my fellow makjang lovers would agree ?
This drama started out with the most inane plot twists and oh man they just kept one-upping it.. And I have loved every second of it.. Every episode is just pure fun..
But really it's just depends on your own perspective ?
I particularly love how I can appreciate this drama without getting attached to any of the characters and just watch it as it is.. A drama.. An act..
I honestly love how I didn't have to take a side in this drama because everyone was equally bad ?
It was kind of a worry-free drama for Me..
I was just so chilled watching it.. because everybody deserves what is happening to them here..
And the MOST FUN part you may ask??
The FOUR-people confusion - K, Matts, HS and JS
Oh god I tell you.. I had so much fun watching this drama because of these 4 people ????
(oh wait I have created a 5-people confusion now because who is Matts lol) ?????
you know what I mean, right? ?
Makjangs will always be my favorite and I am so soo happy I got to see my favorite ensemble cast once again ?
I hope they continue to work together and bless us ?
All the best to anybody who is just starting this drama.. just don't take this drama seriously.. that's what makes it fun ? I hope you also enjoy watching this drama ?
And to all of us who have watched it, WHOA what a crazy ride it has been ????
Such a wonderful ending.. loved it.. ?

Shit show they try to saved it, but couldn't
Season 2 continued with our cliff hanger from Season 1. The sinners are back, but are on different side Shim Joon Seok aka K side. Min Do Hyeok is the protagonist and is fighting against the evil Matthew Lee aka K. They should have stick to one name, but it wouldn't be a drama if it wasn't so confusing right? The real and the fake the battle. And they included the technology aspect and then the women beater you think we couldn't get anymore confusing we did. Dami story finally somewhat ended. It lost it momentum, but I am glad it is over. Check it out if you are interested in the craziness. Good job to the teamWas this review helpful to you?
Makjang to the highest level
I knew going in that this drama would be extreme in every way possible. But since I watched the first part, had to finish it with this second part.This second season has introduced 2 new characters and of these 2, I'm not liking the aunt. Does she really talk that way??? Acting wise...thumbs down for me. The show has put in so much twist and turns that it feels like it has now become dragging. I just watched ep 12 and franky, fast forwarded several scenes. I'm getting tired just thinking about those 4 last episodes coming.. (Tired but still watching till the end).
As expected, the story has veered far.... far... far.... far off course to the point that you might have forgotten how it started out in the first place. Ah, Bang Da Mi, the series of events your demise triggered....... totally unrecognizable.. LOL
Anyway, they should have stopped this series at ep 10 because it has honestly been going on for too long.....

One of the best drama for 2024!
Following the story from season 1, everyone became different from how we saw them in the last season. The dramatical story and action scenes were 10/10 and the plot about Medusa was such a great idea. Geum Ra Hee trying her best to seek revenge for Dami, even when this means to take her own life without regrets. The fight between Min Do Hyuk and Matthew/Shim Joon Seok/K was something that turned the story into something completely new and with unexpected turns. After all the revenge for Dami was successful and K got what he deserved. And the other characters did great job with redeeming themselves. This drama was really something that I wanted to see. Of course we got a happy ending for Hannah which I was extremely happy about, considering what a really young child had been through. Great story, written and played well!Was this review helpful to you?

One of my favourite dramas,the story in both seasons is good enough to make me remember it for a long time. Every actor from season 1 had much better performance on season 2 and i was surprised that i liked all of them. A really interesting drama something unusual i would say for me one to remember and stay on top of my watched dramas. Plenty of good things about drama starting with story, kinda sad about Mone-Do Hyuk ending it was bittersweet for me and it broke my heart, i really hope to see Lee Yu-Bi And Lee Yoon together again in another drama as they are one of my fav couples. Whole season was really good but i dont know what happend in last 2 episodes compared to the whole show, looks rushed af and i would give them like 6/10 didnt really enjoy them tbh mostly because of ending but if u gonna jump on this drama enjoy and have fun!
