It had potential. I almost dropped it.A major issue is pacing. At times it was so slow and so skipped a lot of the dialogue as it seemed unnecessary and chunky at times and other times everything was happening at once with me having no clue what actually was happening so everything is slightly jumbled.
It had a solid if not cliche story.
The characters were okay with no one really standing out apart from Dan who I liked from the beginning. Too bad he is in a coma.

The momentum slightly changed
All numbers card games are all cleared and the leaves the master face cards.S1 is definitely more action packed and fast paced.
Now there are fewer games but take longer to complete the objective. Osmosis and Prison game being my favourite.
Prison as it kept you on your toes and shows who you can really trust.
Osmosis as it was another learning point for arisu on what life truly is.
I hated that they had ann trekking through the wood for half the season. He had the potential. He is intelligent and survival skills but wasted it finding civilisation.

I've not read the manga
Why did I wait so long to watch this, I don't know.The plot was solid and hooked you from the first minute. The whole alternative universe explanation is slightly confusing though
The games I either liked or loved them with tag and wolf games my favourite ones.
Tag as it started to introduce some key characters we will see later and liked their development. To be honest I feel like this is one of the easiest games.
Wolf game as it defined arisu and his perspective on everything changed after that game. I wouldn't want any heart game.

Father Johan I liked. He was bubbly and generally cared about Miho. I enjoyed his backstory as well. It is still unclear on how he became a father. This is the first drama Ive watched that Eun woo is in.
Van, I liked his backstory more than the the present one. He seemed cold to everyone.
Miho was so bratty in my opinion. She does try to do the right thing but that's all. Even though everything is centered around her, she never seems to be involved.
The pacing was decent during the first 4 episodes then it felt like nothing was progressing at all.

The mother trying to protect their daughter made me cry so hard. The daughter not wanting to leave her mother also made me cry. The live they had for each other.This movie made you think what you would do in that situation; go to the police and risk your family's safety or stay silent trying to be invisible to protect the ones you love.

I love how serious topics were brought up, like gender inequality and the SA, which was realistic and actually was part of the main story of Ohm. Their voices were heard as it is true that the amount of power Ohm held meant he got away with it if it weren't Pam speaking up on behalf of her girlfriend. It had me guessing throughout it, and my bet was on Kris, but I was wrong with that.

Jiwon is my favourite character, someone who struggle to express himself at times also someone who cares about other's opinion due to him being famous gymnast but truly cared for Junwoo in his own ways. He made me cry when he cried.
Jungwoo might seem scary to others but he is a total softie around the ones who truly know him. The one who isn't scared to say what he wants.
I actually liked the pacing of it.

The plot was simple and it was solid. However, there was character detail that made me attached to anyone even if one of them was getting abused by his father.
The reasoning behind suho actions I'm still confused about and the whole female character. What was her role? She just wanted to break the couple up

The only saving grace was the flashbacks that saw a beautiful friendship between two boys that was so wholesome and I was more interesting then the present moment.
But how did he recognise Lee Jun. They were so young and their looks have changed quite a bit.
I skimmed the whole thing, nothing interested me

I really felt the emotions the they felt. Garn not the one to speak his feelings out loud and yet his simple words and glances given.
Tul wanting a family that he loves but we know deep down he loves Garn but not as powerful as Garn or maybe he was scared to pursue what his heart told him.
This shows reality for some people who ends up in a different pathway

The characters I overall liked but the the rich daughter was totally unnecessary in the drama as she is just there doing nothing for the plot
The sister I felt had some sort of mental disorder and needed to get professional help in this as she needed constant care throughout

Simple is sometimes best
People say you need complex stories to get a decent show and this movie clearly shows you, you don't.I like how it showed the reality of being poor and how far you would go for what you want.
The nobleman was my favourite character with his witty remarks and his obsession with his hair and how much he loves his car.

Don't waste your time
The characters their was too many of them in the short time frame so I didn't know their intentions or relationship with the other characters. The uncle did a real switch up of rejecting the advances to the one fighting for the relationship.The story was bland with me having no clue what was going on and how they got to their position in the story.
The time made it easy to watch with able to watch several of the episodes in one sitting. The extra video should've been last as it disrupted my watching with me confused as it was in the middle of the series which is unusual as others do the beginning or end of it.

It had a strong start, we all love an independent woman in the police force that is a bit wacky. She was my favourite no nonsense cut the chase. She proves she deserves her place on the force.
Totally misjudged the husband believing he is a pushover to learn he isn't and can bet out of sticky situations.
The middle was absolutely not worth it as it turned into who can catch the cheating husband. I spent a lot of time skipping for my sanity
The ending was so average in every aspect.
I had no clue what the plot was apart from money South Korea and missiles

The story had a solid plot with the fantasy element and would have loved for that to be explored but it wasn't. A few dreams with a water connection. I'm still confused into what the aim was.
The romance wasn't much better I saw them more as friends and didn't have the chemistry of yearning of love. He wanted it a secret and yet it came out.
The actual work of the designers was boring, I usually find it boring though they could've made it more fun and informative.
