I enjoyed this alot and binge-watched in one sitting till my eyes dried up~
oo RECOGNIZED ACTORS oo
First, let's start with the 'Wacko' played by Chun Woo-hee! Her acting was amazing! I just watched "The Atypical Family" before this, so seeing her play a more sexy role was shocking! Then the ML was played by Ryu Jun Yeol as 'Number 3' The Last time I saw him, he was in 'Lucky Romance' years back! This is his comeback with TV shows! Welcome back!
oo SIMILARITY WITH CONCEPTS oo
It's similar to Squid Game regarding winning money by playing games that possibly result in death but besides those things that's all they have in common. I wish to see more Korean Thrillers with those concepts because in Japanese shows there's bout damn near 100+ 'Death games'. I can list a few!
Alice In The Borderland
As The GODS Will
Liar Game
Battle Royale
and ETC.
So I don't really see the issue with this being similar to Squid game. It's not like they took this bar from bar.
oo IN CONCLUSION oo
Moving on this got dark real quick and the intro started to sound more disturbing once I reached episodes 7 and 8! It was really odd for me to like a character then hate but then like them again! That's how I felt strongly with Number 2 and Number 8! I inspire to get athletic like Number 2, she knows how to kick some ass!
Would totally recommend this show as a refresher if you have finished watching something close to this or something that's far from this genre!
