People are saying that the drama deserved to have more episodes, and I actually agree to some extent. I think a few more episodes could have helped the story develop better, but at the same time, I also feel like some of the episodes that already existed were wasted. They were good episodes with interesting moments, but in the end, they didn’t add much to the progression of the plot or the characters’ development.

I also agree about having the expectation that it could have been something different. I don’t know if it was the writer who didn’t want to take more risks, but the fact is that it had been a long time since a drama had captivated me this much, which is exactly why the ending disappointed me so much. I really wanted it to live up to the potential it showed throughout the story.

I truly believe this drama handled its narrative very well up until episode 12, but I felt that the final episodes started to lose some of that balance. Some important points could have been developed and explained with more care, while certain characters could have been given a more meaningful role within the story. I was also bothered by the way the villain was portrayed throughout the series: he was built up as a major threat and carried a lot of weight in the plot, but when the moment finally came for his downfall, the execution didn’t match the impact he had been given. The choice to approach the scene in a lighter, almost comedic way — especially with the background music — ended up reducing the emotional weight of what could have been a much more powerful and memorable moment.

I'm familiar with the work in both anime and manga formats, but I'd never given the live-action a chance because, in my view, it was impossible for humans to adapt the delicacy and chaotic comedy that Nodame has. But I was TOTALLY surprised by this show. You can feel the passion the actors delivered, both in the music and in the most ridiculous scenes that make you laugh, and this is evident in the last episode, which made me cry because you know it's the end and you wanted to see much more of them. What I can say is that it's easily something I'll be rewatching for many years to come.

I devoured it in two days, and it was because it was so good that it felt like the episodes were only 20 minutes long... Now, something you might judge me for, but I don't think Na-ri was 100% wrong. Regarding Hyeong, she was indeed a jerk, but Se-ah was also quite naive for never admitting her feelings and letting her friend continue creating illusions about who she liked, and then there was the curse manipulating her, telling her that the three of them would find a way to save themselves and leave Na-ri.

The idea of creating zombies because of a drug was really good, but I feel it lacked more suspense/horror... if the villainous characters hadn't been so well-written, this plot would have been incredibly boring to follow because, to be honest, the main couple didn't have the charisma to make me root for the "good guys."

The title does justice to the plot; it's a crazy drama that takes you on a journey between fun and suspense, and all the characters played a role in making it happen.

Note: I only watched it now in 2025, but I remember when the trailer came out in 2021 and we were all hyped because Wi Ha Joon was a sensation thanks to his role in Round 6.

I started watching it by chance, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's been a long time since a drama made me laugh so genuinely. The characters have an incredible balance of being funny while also dealing with serious issues presented to the audience.

but friend, squid game america was already confirmed about 2 months ago, the author himself said

It's hard to explain but I really didn't like the season finale! The worst thing is that in the second season the author had really introduced us to incredible characters and given us a better view of what the games' backstage would be like, then he made the audience wait half a year and have high expectations to kill beloved characters too quickly and we have to say that we didn't even get a conclusion to anything

let's say it was a good pastime but what bothered me is that the protagonist's core should have been something to elevate the drama of the series but it ended up being the only boring thing here, it was much more worth watching for the inheritance cases that were fun... that bathroom episode for example was so cool

exactly and there are still people complaining about wanting more romance when that wasn't even the main point here

I think this drama could be so big, you know, there are characters and plots that could be worked on a lot more, but so far we're halfway through the show and it seems like a good part of it is to build a trajectory that in the end makes the twins end up as a couple in the most predictable way.

I had come here when episode 5 came out and there were only comments praising it but now they are trying to force that this show is bad and it definitely isn't!! I even liked how this kdrama had a light feeling even with more dramatic subjects being involved and the choice of cast was very accurate.

This episode 7 managed to get away a little from the students' plot, which was fun, but I feel like it was just a way to lighten the story a little and have more of an impact on the next episodes with the events against Professor Shizuka 😭

I thank Netflix for adding more JDramas to its catalog, which made me end up getting to know this show. At times I ended up feeling angry because of the lack of attitude of some characters, but overall I was pleased to see everyone together in a single house going through problems and at the same time seeing them supporting each other because of their relationship or something at work. ps: the dog scenes were incredible 😭

To be honest, I started it without any expectations because most of the posters for this show suggested that it would be something focused on a love triangle, but to my surprise the drama was full of characters with human stories that made us feel anger and affection for them, the mix of emotions here gave it a special touch and in the end we were just rooting for them even without knowing what happened with the possible "accident".

This episode 4 was something extremely delicious, the good plot with the combination of the great chemistry of the cast is making me devour this show and wanting more episodes every time it ends.

I watched the first episode and I must say it surprised me, I thought it would be one of those boring romances with two adults acting like fools and idiots but I came across a more mature focus involving mainly the issue of work, anyway don't pay attention to the low rating here just watch and enjoy

ohh justin was so right about those two snakes, this cast is a failure in terms of personality it seems like they feel the need to want to be part of the group... I miss seokjin and seewon who were loyal to their own and regardless of the result they weren't afraid to go against the group

In terms of charisma, this cast is a little inferior to the first season, but I believe that time will solve that. The serious issue I want to address is the games... Reality shows may indeed be for intelligent people, but that doesn't apply to the audience that watches them. In episode 3, I had to skip the whole thing because the test was simply too boring for me to pay attention. In the end, I just wanted the guys to go back to prison to continue investigating the puzzles, which were more interesting.
