I still think season 1 was slightly better compared to this but season definitely has the better winner imo, he…
I AGREE. They literally shoehorn in a few women just for the Netflix quota when the challenges are anything but made for them. WE NEED A WOMEN'S ONLY PHYSICAL 100 NETFLIX!!!
SO FUCKING HAPPY WITH THE WINNER THIS SEASON!!!! It's all in the eyes and he had the eyes, the countenance, the rigor, the charisma, and the team-playing spirit of a true winner.
Literally the only reason I gave this a 9 because the challenges this season were so disappointing and so heavily strength-based it was baffling. I kept missing the Olympians inspired games from last season.
For anybody wanting to skip out on the FL's torment and get straight to her returning as a baddie for revenge, skip to around episode 29-30 and you'll be fine from there.
I think this has one of the best ensemble cast I've seen in a while, (the villains excluded of course, they were so cartoony) every single one of them was so well written and had great dimensionality often overshadowing Jian herself but that's no issue because she was literally thrown out of her "normal" life and thrown into this world like a deer caught in the headlights. Considering that she did great and I'm sure we'll see more of her being kickass in the next season hopefully.
I dropped this, because I thought, nothing made any sense, not to mention that it was so slow, that sometimes…
I would suggest giving it another shot because the reason it may feel slow is that they show every single detail from several different angles, so unless that is something you might not enjoy, I'd suggest please go back to it. There's also a possibility of a second season so there's that to look forward to too!
This felt like two different movies. His struggles to safely and legally exist in Belgium could have been a great…
100% agreed. Even the dialogue felt so stilted because of this, where one moment we're uncovering all the nuances of language barriers, communication and manoeuvring around these issues and the next we're waxing poetic in classic kdrama fashion with all those cheesy romantic lines.
