logiquement

That was not at all meant to be erotic, maybe that was your interpretation. Rape is rape, it's not always violent

I get that haha
But I try to think about the hell they are in and how their behaviour at this point can change. I would never deliver that speech that way, too cringe, but I I was in their situation? who knows

He won 7 of heart + he was the reason they won in the game of S2 that had Aguni. He probably told him about Arisu

No way, I'm so happy haha! Please let me know if you enjoyed it, I didn't mean to over sell it, I don't want you to be disapointed

Yep, all the people who usually comsume western shows are overhyping it because they are discovering that other countries can do good shows and it lacks constructive criticism

Ah well it gets better after the third episode since this is when we get more infos on what's going on. Too bad you didn't go through with it :/

Alice in borderland in the same theme of death game, though Alice is way better imo

Agree, it was lacking, they put too much in the decor to save the fact that the scenario was not as great as that

It's hard to not compare it to Alice in Borderland considering how close the release dates are, so I will do the comparison because I'm sure my opinion on this drama is heavily influenced by the fact that I saw Alice.
Alice worked the death game thing waaay better imo.
I know the games in squid where meant to be achievable by all so that everyone is equal etc... but then, where is the fun? I just had to wait for it to end because I couldn't be part of it, the games were simple and most of the time, it was just about luck. In Alice you have 4 types of games that involve either intelligence, strength, team work or manipulation (if I recall correctly) and so each game is very unique and entertaining, it has you wondering how it will go, how does it work, how to win etc.. You just enjoy watching the games as much as you try to solve them yourself. Only the 5th game in squid was enjoyable, the rest was boring. The marble game catch was very obvious so no surprise here for me.
The whole "mean rich people killing for fun" is a bit cliché for me, we've seen it times and times before, S2 will either be about exposing them or joining them I guess, again, nothing new.
In Alice we know nothing at all, so we have to watch S2 to understand. I feel like not giving us any informations just like in Alice would have been better than giving us bread crumbs of informations. Then the thrill of s2 could have been about the infiltration for exemple and understanding what's going on + exposing them. One could easily take that ending as an open ending and not even watch s2.
Also they overused the "sad backstory" to make us like the characters, at the end, anyone could have win and it would have been the same for me, I was not rooting for anyone in particular since they made it so that it felt like evryone deserved to win.
The decor is nice but I feel like they were trying too hard to have their own "costume brand" with the red suit and the masks, a bit like la casa de papel.

Other than that, it was a good watch, I still enjoyed it, but it's overhyped imo.

I'll ignore the plot holes for it was only 16 episodes and the story and acting was so good that I don't mind them. I loved all of the leads (including Sun Ah who was an amazing antagonist to Yo han) and cherished Yo han and Ga on's bromance so much! I'll take a relationship like theirs over any romantic ones. The chemistry between the two actors was through the roof. The ending was very good but I wanted them to somehow go back to living together, Gaon is all alone now and it breaks my heart. Yohan dying would have make a really great ending but I think the writer took pity on Gaon lol + they did a great job showing us how Yo han always has a backup plan throughout the show so at least we can't say that him not dying is just plot armor.
What an amazing journey, I'm so glad I gave this show a try, easily one of the best show of the year.

Also I just learned that Park Jin Young is an idol and I would never have guessed, he's such a good actor wtf!

I see, thanks, I'll give it a shot then!

I mean the plot starting nice and then turning bad haha

same, a waste of my precious time and considering the comments about how this show is turning I think I might skip it

did it turn as bad as start-up did ? I'm not watching yet

Maybe because they thought it was leaving an opening for a 2nd season and they didn't plan on having one? apparently when the drama aired the ratings weren't that great, it was (if I'm not mistaken) airing at the same time as park bo gum's historical drama (that I personally didn't like) and since it was his first drama after reply 1988, people watched it instead of SHR

basically at the end, present wang so gave hae soo a tissue when she was crying (following the chinese drama plot that lead to the second season) but it was deleted in the korean version, we only know about it because IU posted the 2 pictures on insta when she thought it was going to air lmao

Before I watched it the first time, I was reading that most people were disappointed that the husband was not who they wanted. After a couple of episodes, I realised I wanted the husband to be Taek and really thought everyone did, so I fully watched it expecting the husband to be Jung Hwan, missing all the clues lmao. Well it was a pleasant surprise to see my ship sail when I deadass thought it was sinking.
I'm rewatching the drama and felt like sharing that funny story :)

just here to remind people of the deleted tissue scene :)

dramacool. fm, kissasian. la

We watched the show....we understood the plot don't worry... It doesn't change the fact that we don't see the chemistry between both leads. IMO the writting of the ML is not it, they could've kept the same story but still make him more interesting.
