Im in LOVE with this show
Everything from the acting to the plot is amazing!Also the friggin intro is a bop.I love the way they can make a show seem lighthearted and start it out with the viewers watching in the perspective of a dating show and then switching it up.
All the deep trauma and societal problems get uprooted as you go, but it still keeps it's comedic side which I loved!
Other than that. EVERY character in the gameshow is likeable and understandable. I like that there is no clear "villian". Some would argue it's Chanel's mom, but I don't think so.
Also let me not start talking about Almond. His character is so interesting! Although some people might dislike his character, I simply feel bad for him. He had acted as a bigger brother all his life and all he wants to do is protect his brothers from what they don't know. I mean, he is wrong in his assumptions, he's very brainwashed🥲
I ALSO LOVE THE CAMERAWORK! That one scene in episode 2 (I think) when Day yells "no" and it zoomes out, and then Son catches the camera, smirks and throws it back so it hits her. That was the funniest thing ever, very creative.
(Bonus, oml, Son with braids in the last episode killed me (in a good way), but Son in a wig was even better haha)

I was confused
I dont think a singl plotpoint actually like fit with the other plotpoints ngl.I only watched the show for Cha Woongki tbf so I wasnt expecting much and I could have probably focused more and understood the plot better.
For me, it felt rushed at the end and the plot just suddently shifted in a weird turn.
Like bro, how was the message of this show "enjoy every day" like my guy, this show was a fantasy about being in a game, like wth.
I also didnt think the characters had ANY chemistry, like none, nada. I mean other than that one sister (dont remember her name). I feel like she actually made the show better cause she was funny.

I have so many emotions
I watched this show a while ago and after I finished it, I felt so empty because all the characters had grown on me so bad. I legit screamed when I saw one of the actors for a split second in another show.Anyways. The plot is very easy to understand, but still intriquite with a lot of beautiful messages in it. I love the different types of characters you get to see, the different personalities and the different sceneries that other shows do not give you in the same way.
I also think all the romance in the show really felt true and not fabricated which I love because it can often feel very fake in kdramas.
The music! THE MUSIC! I friggin die for the music. The soundtrack can put me in a trance Istg. Like it's very thought through and fun when it needed to be. The music made the show much more lively and added a lot of emotion to the sadder scenes.
The show manages to be serious, sad, romantic and also friggin funny at the same time. I can't even count how many times I laughed during each episode because ir just felt like hanging out with your friends while watching.
I recommend very much! WATCH IT, Im holding you at gunpoint🫶

I have some thoughts ig
So I did like the show itself, idk about the storyline cause I heard there was a plottwist, but if there was, I didnt see it.There were many plotpoints I wanted that could have added more dimention to the show that never happened.
I also dont like the way the show practically guilttrips Yi Jae when he was already miserable.
The message feels very backhanded at the end because it's basically just saying. "Life sucks, but dying sucks more".
I obviously think suicide isnt the only option when you're struggling, but I dont think we should guilt the people who do not feel they have anything to live for.
Those people already get enough shit as it is
I really love the cast though so I enjoyed watching the actors in the show and I liked the fact that I could laugh at the serious plots because I already found some of the show goofy.
I do recommend watching the show though, it was very entertaining.

This show was a binge show for me ahhaha
I really liked the show!! It had all the elements I love in a show. the comedy, the mystery, the little bit of action. Im also very fond of physical comedy so that was extra fun. I really liked the way the relationships (obv friendly) developed in the show and that there was no romance cause Im so tired of romance shows. Also that all the characters were very original and the actors nailed their personalitys completely!!!Moreover, that the show had multiple smaller storylines with different morals that all lead up to that final scene as so beautiful. Almost made me tear up until he woke up and was immediately annoyed (honestly love that too tho).
I would have loved to see a postcredit scene where Yiyong, Chuying and Guangyan all like were up to something. That would really tie it all together. Especially since it felt like he had to wake up to do something so It'd be nice to see what that something is. Although an open ending to just wonder how things go is also nice ofcourse.

I got a little bored
I really loved the characters and cast in the show, but at the end, for some reason I thought of dropping it.I got bored and didnt really feel like anything that drastic could happen, which, surprise surprise, it didn't.
Anyhow, I really love the scenery and the characters so it was still a fun watch and the song Your existence that plays once in a while is so friggin good.
I wont say I cried during the show, I wont even say I felt sad. The plot didnt move me to that extent, but I did feel happy in the brighter parts of the show and it felt very realitsic.
It's also original and the characters personalities feel very real and true.
Anyways, I recommend watching this show if u like romance, sadness and if u like having a laugh at weird shinanigans 🤞

I really REALLY like this show
Other than the great casting, the show itself is just, muah, chef's kiss.The emotions that are portrayed feel so real and is conveyed very well by the actors.
Other than that, it doesnt feel corny or copied like other shows can feel, it instead feels very unique and original (I know it's based on a webtoon, but ykwim)
Moreover the open ending left off so well to introduce season 2 even though I'm sad that Choi hyun wook will be in that season. I look forward to seeing more of this show and it's definetely a great and thrilling watch!
I recommend strongly, on my mother, it's amazing!
