there is a fierce battle to know what is the most boring drama in history. Goblin or Hospital Playlist ? I think before HP, Goblin was the most boring but not anymore. HP is more boring. So I'm sorry for Goblin because it was its only way to be first about something.
Not great and depressing. Most of the ideas come from the manga/anime Kaiji in a far less good version. (with a copy-paste regarding the bridge game). The most amazing thing: Squid game accumulates deaths, while in Kaiji, it is not a death game (although there are some deaths sometimes), and yet the nervous tension and suspense are much higher in Kaiji. So... Squid game puts in scene some deadly situations... without really feeling the danger or the anguish of the characters, who seem to walk around in there like in a vacation weekend. The positive points of the drama are the scenes that are original and do not come from another movie/series of the same genre (Battle royale, hunger game, etc). The costumes for example. Or the staircase room. Another positive point, referring to Eye wide shut, or even Salo, the rich people who take advantage of the games. Rather realistic in a way, and scary because it exists. However, the performance of the English speaking actors is mediocre. Well, rather, as usual in kdramas. I think that it remains well seen especially since the sets are excellent (painted bodies, we do not know if they are real or not). And we are used to this kind of poorly held roles in kdramas so we can overlook the rendering.
The end is total frustration!!(see more in spoiler)
So.... how Luna can breath in the void and don't suffer void decompression. 10-8 Pa ! And what happen next ??? Also... how can water replicate without law of matter conservation ? It don't make sens, even the drama think about to say it.
It make a motivation to watch this drama. Look like a drama with some makjang but not too much. Kind of like Queen of ambition maybe. I put this on my to watch list.
Thank you about your review. You made the list of all mistakes I don't wan't in a semi-realistic SF drama. It's better to watch a movie like Appolo 13. I don't expect SF stories to be perfect about science accuracy, but it need something real. A movie like Interstellar is good about that, it take real science, just twist it a bit when story need, but not too much. And like you, I can't stand to see Astronauts without seriousness, speaking and conflicting like everyday people. Real astronauts are also selected because their psychological stability and cold blood. Just see Dave in 2001 space odyssey.
Finaly I watched all. No spoil in the comment. Last episode of season 3 : it start like an standard last episode you get in some dramas. Not bad, but you know, just you get the future life of the remaining characters. And last part of the episode... wooooooo!!! Just a perfect ending, highly emotional and quite unexpected.
Sure! You seemed like a big fan of the drama. :DAnd you seemed to be fascinated with a lot of Kdramas' writers.…
Yes, I watched these dramas (except Arthdal Chronicles). These writers are very good and they know a lot about history. Not only big history, but also all details of daily life. It's wonderfull to watch these dramas, their world is so real and lively, always surprising about everything. With lot of suspens and high emotion as well. I should write them on my list of favorites writers by the way.
I think you made a good resume of why some people was lost, and how the drama contains enough points for us to understand all. Even that, it's not so easy and need to rewatch it. Of course, rewatch is such a pleasure with this drama, that it's not a problem. It look like you got well some tricks and explanation, and understand the "manhwa world" as a meta concept. If you wan't to see what can do another fan of this drama, I advice you to read my profile and go to my blog. I wrote a season 2 of the drama, written in the same way of the season 1, as I studied hard the original screenplay of the drama. Cheers.
Suggestion: if you found this drama confusing or full of plot holes.. do rewatch it. Trust me all of it will make…
You are right. Most of people see plot-holes where there isn't. And they didn't undestood the action when they think it's a plot-hole. Maybe it still could be done better, so the drama explain a bit more. But there is a problem of time in this drama, so it's like a movie, no more time to explain everything. It's a 17 episode dramas made as a 16 episodes one during production. And, what's funny: they don't see the real few plot-hole (yes there are few, but nobody notice it). Also, there are some case that are not "plot-hole" but rather "grey zones", as basic rules or phenomenon. I think it's best for storytelling when it's used.
It's also been in my PTW since 2013 but at the time I couldn't bear to see LJS after School 2013. I decided to…
I'm male, so you can guess I don't have a opinion about LJS on how sexy he is, or things like that. I just look at how good actor he is and how well he can perform a chracter. Sometimes, I can see some habbits (not very good), but overall he's a charismatic man and he stand in front of the camera as no many can. He have also a kind of "direct connexion" with viewier. So I like this actor, he was good in most of dramas I saw him.

And the ending is the same kind of emotion, so, very high.

But as it's in Penthouse, it's ok !!!! :-D
Relax. ^^
We wait season 3 for getting more deepness of the character.
And it's was really needed !
It still feel the story is told x2 speed. 12 episodes wasn't enough for final season.
