Same exact thoughts as you except I cannot recognise LBH's voice.

I rarely watch Japanese drama (only the Death Note drama and movies including Attack on Titan).
Will try to look up Liar Game when I have time to watch.

Me too. Watched Liar Game such a long time ago and only remembered it being very good. Hoped there was a S2 but after years forgot about waiting for it.

Same feelings here. That’s why I only rated it a 6.5. He wallowed in self-loathing or survivor’s guilt for a year instead of at least doing justice to the ones who died (and he pretentiously wanted to ‘protect’) by helping their family member. If No. 001 didn’t look for him I think he wouldn’t snap out of it too. Useless and hypocritical main lead should have just killed himself and let his childhood friend win cos that dude seems to know what his objectives are from the onset.

I finally got down to watching it and I think acting was good and it shows the difference between two different classes of society but not something I’d re-watch.
Personally I think this type of movie is not for you analyse loopholes or try to make sense of the moral it’s trying to impart, who’s good or evil etc..
If you do, you’d realise that the rich family is unrealistically gullible to not do any background checks at all before employing these positions which makes them vulnerable to dangers.
Meanwhile the poor family got way too greedy and rash instead of slowly biding their time to milk the rich out of their money, etc...

It was what he wrote in a letter to his father in reply to the message his father sent via morse code.

I also prefer to watch any movie or drama with the original actor/actress voice (regardless of whether i understand them or not) instead of dubbed but good subs are a necessity.
I even watch English movies/series with eng sub so that I don't miss out any important lines spoken.

Stupid masks aside (which would've made watching, eating, drinking and talking uncomfortable), made me wonder if people do talk that way in real life, not among each other but seated away with others around. Lines were cringey.

My thoughts as well

Hint, hint... main character who's such a hypocrite?
I just couldn't like the way he's portrayed. First time he's in the game - understandable. Going back the second time knowing full well what the game is about and trying to be goody two shoes yet deep down is selfish like the most of us are. He should've just killed himself and let his childhood friend win.

Watch Kingdom S1 with your mum if you haven’t.

I think the cop going undercover on his own without informing his superior or anyone is such a dumb move. The things he does while looking for his brother is also stupid. Didn’t expect him to be able to live long and unrealistically he did.

I’m with you on this. We know there’s only one winner and this means the rest are supposed to end up dead but yet seeing Ali die is so sad.

I can’t get myself to warm-up to the main character too. I think I’d be more sad with Ali’s death than if he were to die.

Same here. It’s like if they die I wouldn’t miss them.

I started watching because of Gong Yoo lol... too bad only cameo appearance.

Have just started this drama so can’t comment much but I loved Liar’s Game when I watched it long time ago. I think I’ll rewatch that again after this.

Same here. Not watching because I like violent stuff. More like it’s an eye opener to note the great lengths people may go to out of desperation even though it’s a drama and may not be real.
