I'm watching this right now. This kinda reminds me of the book the long walk except it is children games.

I'm on ep 4 and I bet the black mask is a woman.

And WTF the coffin looks like a giftbox?!

They set a dangerous presidence if they show killing someone means they can earn money.

Organ harvesting? Is that what this is about?

OK ep 5

The tips for pulling rope means we will win Midsummer games we play next year (hopefully, depending on Covid).

I'M READY!

This show is like a more realistic version of Netflix's Alice in Borderland. Especially episode 6.

The preview on Netflix looks hella interesting. Ever since Kingdom, Netflix has reinvigorated my interest in k-dramas. The production quality of their k-dramas is always reminiscent of a film compared to traditional k-dramas. I'm also watching D.P. right now.

Decent for a foreign show, but dumb ending and predictable. Don’t understand how he could keep making everything except his child a priority.

Y'all I binged watched this show in less than a day and man....

I used to teach in Korea for three years and I was very familiar with all the kid games and thought it was such an interesting twist for Kdrama to have that aspect of it for such a blood thirsty game. But there was a lot lost in translation sadly with the English translation/subtitles. There were many hidden gems like the red light, green light song and the character changing their hair color.

Korea is very much a confucian culture, they use the Korean word "we" a lot. Shoot I remember kids cheating on their tests and passing the answers around cause that's how they be, all for one and one for all.

But when it comes to money, wealth disparity, and classism it's a very different story. The concept of "we" and the community aspect or "jeong" doesn't so apply when it comes to money especially when you're poor. I was not suprise at the lack of loyalty and morality when it came to money and surviving cause that's some real human nature right there.

There were some twisted turns I didn't expect and I was a bit bummed by the ending.

I lowkey knew Gihun was gonna win because of pure luck and morality.I wished he had tried to spilt the money with the people that had lost their lives families. I'm glad he kept his word about taking care of his friend's mom and he brought 067 brother to her so he would have a home and shot at life. But I wish he could have taken the money and used it to atone for everything but nah this knigga wants revenge and to stop the games.

I actually think that it's not about revenge. I think he thought with Il-Nam (001) dying that the game would also die but it's still going. So he knew that hundreds more people would die if he didn't try to stop it.

This sh!t is insane. All them people them dead for what!

It was all for sport and entertainment.

Its really twisted when you boil down to how far desperation can push you, and how greed can become such a motivator. The prize money had most operating on their base human instinct, doing anything and everything to survive even if it means betraying allies.

I really enjoyed the series, can't recommend it enough.

I'm on the last episode.
It's a decent show, the production quality is pretty amazing and it keeps you hooked to the end.

I did find the main character and most of the supporting characters extremely irritating, and I didn't like how drawn out some of the scenes were, like get to the point lol. Just overly dramatic for nothing.

Had never heard of this series until this past Sunday when my daughter told me about it. She showed me the trailer and it was intriguing enough that I wanted to continue on and wow, I am so very glad that I did. I just finished the series last night and it has been a roller coaster of every possible emotion. My favorite episode is 6 although it pissed me the fµck off along with making me extremely sad. I agree with many of you that the production quality is top tier. I am intrigued at the ending since we know he is seeking to stop the games but it makes me a little sad because his daughter is placed on the back burner yet again. It appears that he is willingly going to dive back into that world to put an end to it but at what cost? He had so many close calls so he will be risking his life again. Nevertheless, I loved the show and can't wait to see what they do if there are future seasons.

Finished it last night and I agree with the drawn out scenes. I found myself hitting the skip button several times during dialogue and still didn’t miss much. The main character was low key the worst character. I wish he would have done something meaningful afterwards instead of moping around looking like the Caveman’s Valentine. Anywho, I really liked this series I was up until 3 am finishing it. Definitely deserves #1 spot on Netflix right now.

Gambling is a hell of a drug!

I should not have read this I am just too curious but I will say I don't think I would've split the money with peoples families because not everyone in that game probably came from a good family!

Anyway thanks for this think piece it was cool to read.

I am not familiar with korean culture but yeah asia is a collectivist country, its a shame people always get greedy @ the end though. Must be interesting to watch as someone who has worked in Korea

Haha I agree, there were some parts that were a bit dramatic, like someone being betrayed or dying and I was like.... ok I have to go to bed soon hurry up and die already

Episode 3

The girl (IDK what her Korean name is) has a great English dubbed voice! She’s so smart.
The Indian guy is bowing too much, he seems out of place to me…
Old guy is so cute but a loose cannon. I’d want him on my team because he seems to be some sort of plant.
