I see your point with Orbit, I hadn't thought of it that way in terms of thinking the other team already had 2 more points. though for Yu-min being a doctor, I don't think she's that kind of doctor. not every doctor is under constant stress and getting yelled at by patients. like plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists and family doctors - none of them have the same stress as an ER doctor. I don't remember her exact field in medicine but I was given the impression she works at a clinic not a hospital. definitely agree about Joon-bin though, he was waiting for Dong-jae to mess up -_-

and for Si-won I guess we'll just have to disagree. the way I remember it happening, Orbit and Joon-bin starting recruiting people based on the idea that "we don't have as many coins, underdogs have to stick together" and also at first specifically icing out Dong-jae and Si-won cause they had a "strong alliance" and cause they couldn't trust Dong-jae

at least we can agree on rooting for Seok-jin! sorry to Orbit but even though I understand kicking out the girl now, I don't agree with his way of playing by gathering "the weak" to target the strongest and kick them off one by one

^^ I miswrote her name: it's Hye-sung not Hye-in

it's definitely not the same, but I still really enjoy the show and I feel like I still see his influence in Si-won and Seok-jin, hope one of them two wins!

YES! Honestly the "underdog" group totally peer pressured Yu-min (the girl who gave out info) and part of me understands why she did it, which is why I'm more mad at the group than at her cause they legit surrounded her and kept saying GIVE US THE INFO! YOUVE BEEN BETRAYED, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY. meanwhile none of them offered her anything to save herself just in case, they could've given her five points and sacrificed one each. she even gave her OWN number, she was seriously not thinking straight. and they also took out the other girl Hye-in (I think?) which was also unnecessary, what happened to save the weak? and eliminate as few as possible?? I do think orbit is playing like a genius but I stopped rooting for him when he got hypocritical. (I also believe this is part of the game mentality, I'm sure he's really a wonderful person).
as for Si-won, I don't think she's as much of a follower as the others with orbit have come across as. I'm thinking with Dong-jae gone, she'll step up a bit more. I'm rooting for her and Seok-jin cause they've really been rained on and had to cooperate with the very people attacking them so viciously and they understand that who should win are the strongest players

Dong-jae saying he hopes the viewers don't hate him too much made my heart break for him 😭 I know I'm not alone when I say I was rooting really hard for him and am shocked to see him go

yeah I agree with seokjin there too, I'm rooting for him and si-won now

Same! he was among my favorites to win cause he seemed clever but also had his own set principles he actually followed. I really hate how comet spun the narrative "we are underdogs and must stick together" after ONE game where roles were completely coincidental. also it's hypocritical to say "I want everyone to survive, but let's try to get these people eliminated". him and joon-bin are taking over too much. I'm on ep 6 and I'm really hoping people realize that they're being manipulated

the first 9 are available on Netflix, and 10-12 are set to release October 10. I remember seeing on this site that there were only 4 episodes total when it first released but they fixed it to 12 after a couple days, I think maybe there was confusion cause it doesn't follow a normal update schedule, it updates on Tuesdays for 3 weeks: first 4eps then 5eps and finishes with 3eps

ooh that's funny cause for me I think it was actually Rowoon's character I disliked more 😅 I find him inconsistent and weak. he was cold and harsh at the beginning and then he thinks hes under a spell and becomes clingy and needy, and then when he realizes he actually loves her he gets soft and sweet. his whole personality changes are too much for me

thank you for being objective! I actually don't mind the side character stories, though I can see why others do, it was the main couple I was having trouble with. their scenes were feeling very repetitive and slow to me. Ill go ahead and give this week's episodes a chance then! hopefully I like it, cause I hate dropping shows but I also feel like I waste my time when I don't and it's something Im not into

oooh thank you! ill try giving it another chance then, this might be the climax point I was waiting for :)

I've been watching when the new episodes upload but this week I've been struggling to watch the new eps (11-12), can someone tell me if it worth continuing or should I drop it? preferably someone who also thought it was getting boring and no spoilers please !

I thought it was well done. yeah it was a long explanation, but it was a lot of rules. arguably, I'd say you wanted less rules/simpler game, not a better explanation haha 😅 admittedly about halfway through the rules I almost rewinded because I was afraid I already forgot everything, but the added graphics helped me a lot plus individual rules would come up during gameplay too which helped as reminders. ultimately I think the game was a lot more complicated than anyone expected (even one of the contestants made a comment about it) but this is a show about using brain power so I guess we shouldn't expect it to be a leisure watch

YES! this really bothered me cause they showed the red hands, played up the spell book (and it's not even certain it worked??) and the flashbacks to Joseon era but then nothing until finally now in ep 9. they should've cut down the episodes and simplified the plot a bit and I'm sure this would be a lot better. less confusing and so much less boring. its getting hard to watch 😔

same! I've had SLS since the first episode, but it wasnt until now (ep 7) that I was like hmm maybe the ML isn't so bad and got a little torn. BUT I still want the FL with the SML!!!

keeping my fingers crossed !! 🤞

I saw one website say it will be released on netflix but i don't know if it was reliable. netflix makes sense though, as they have been pushing to include a lot more Korean content this year, plus Song Kang is dubbed the Son of Netflix so at this point I kinda expect all his dramas to end up there.

it's all good! glad the misunderstanding was cleared :)

it's possible I'm wrong, I'm not sure where to find the past statistics, but I haven't seen that trend in the US charts. globally yes, I have seen that kdramas reach top 10 at various points during their run, but I'm specifically referring to the US top 10 where I personally don't often see kdramas for more than a day unless it's one of the super popular ones like Squid Game. In fact, I never saw See You In My 19th Life listed in the US, and I was constantly checking because I'm a huge fan of the webtoon author Lee Hey, so I was hoping it would make it. King the Land I only saw hit the list when it was ending. Yesterday, I saw Mask Girl in the top 10 but that was uploaded all at once, and wasn't there today when I checked. Again, I'm only referring to the US top 10 here, and this is based on what I've seen so I admit that I could be wrong.

maybe it is just taste, I haven't watched any of moving but I agree that it didn't seem as interesting when I read the description
