I didn't like these Squid Games with cars in the last two episodes. Hopefully ML will finally escape.And the villain…
I agree, it looks like they just ripped off some of Batman movie with the villain character having access to the entire cell network and being cartoonishly evil...he just needs to start laughing like a ostrich or something next. ML is such a great actor but the show went from mild realism (the escape plan was kind of cool) to just Car Games and fantastical stuff. The actor who is killing people is like just doing everything, it's too much (vaccines and murder scenes and cutting off fingers like its too much).
JCW and Kim Jong Soo are great. The story is..unrealistic would be the word so it started off as more realistic and quickly became fantastical or impossible lol (like a superhero kind of thing). A guy gets hit that much in the head and face and you expect some brain damage. The main villain (Yo Han) seems very awful in acting and just characterization.
Just to catch a glimpse of Seo In Guk (please do more main lead projects), what was this?
The editing was awful so even if there was a coherent plot, it was a mess. The fights were often boring and repetitive. The main actor who co-wrote and directed it is not main lead material. He looks really old and overweight (instead of muscular or like a tiger).
So many great actors given so little to work with still doing their best. Such a waste of talent, time, concept, and potential.
Also Korean movies often pairing the ugly overweight guy with a fairy like beauty is still mind boggling to me. Do they see themselves in the mirror before even daring that?
I really want to watch this but am holding off because it will be trauma inducing and after Twelve Letters I need a bit of a break. Still love how much research and effort went into the project and best wishes for all survivors. We will overcome.

Offer comfort in murder - I cant with women these days anymore
Any man who rapes, abuses his wife or kids or anyone should be murdered. That would be justice but we have a man built society that doesn't punish these bastards at all. One day though nasty fellows will get their comeuppance.
I'm fast forwarding to the end of this because misunderstandings plot is the most annoying for me. However, I just miss the pacing and style of these older shows especially compared to the overly visually slick styles of shows now. There was a beauty in everything from the homes, the lighting, the non-over whitening of every face so people are tan and beautiful.
Such a great show and love the Hansel and Gretel theme. The ending made me anxious (like every cliff hanger episode). The twists were excellent. Kim Young Kwang was marvelous in this.
Just watched the first episode and this was really surprisingly good and different. I didn't realize how long the episodes are but I was riveted throughout.
Watching Walking on Thin Ice puts this show in much better context. In that show, where FL is 54 and the non-romantic ML is 38. They showed such a great partnership but no romance between them because not everything is romantic and the age gap between the actors is visible. She is more like a family member, mentor, partner. And Lee Young Ae looks great for her age compared to ML here. This show, story wise could have been great but casting wise missed some crucial marks. Learning that the actor Lee Jung Jae had a hand in making the FL a younger actress, using his power also makes it highly uncomfortable and weird.
She does not look like she could be his daughter but he sure looks old. The writers better come up with a better…
LOL I love "old cow eating young grass" so much. I agree he better not be a romance option for her. Mentor? Yes. Introduce her to his much younger brother or friend? Yes. Romance? Nah, poor girl it would be like romance with vomit.
