I feel like the show dipped in quality when the VIP's showed up with their cringey acting

Agreed. Felt like they just approached a couple of US tourists passing the studio on the day of shooting.

That's.....not surprising at all. They basically brought elementary school play level of acting to the table.

Their acting was so bad I initially assumed it was intentional to make them seem alien from everything else.

Also, the english subtitles were distractingly bad. Full of typos and they got the actual english lines wrong at points. I don't think I've ever watched a foreign show on Netflix that had good english subtitles.

Overall I'd give it an 8/10. Predictable all the way through except for the final, unnecessary twist, but the characters were all great and I liked the games. Crazy girl was best girl.

It depends on which English subtitles you choose. One has exactly what they say, where another has usually the slight differences. One is called English, and the other other is English [CC]

Fucking cuties. Ali is such a G. Idk if it's because I don't watch a lot of kdramas or ktv/movies but it was cool seeing a foreigner in the show with an actual role.

I feel dumb for falling for that. But another interesting thing that really outs him is the first game.
The giant robot scanning everyone during Red Light, Green Light scans everyone but him. You can see they all have a green outline except for him.

Also when the dude was looking through the documents for all the contestants #001 wasnt on there.

Yeah, more psychological and human nature oriented, but slower pace and less creative in terms of how people are killed. Alice had some annoying shit though. tiger rushes dude and he just punches it out of the way? Wtf that thing probably weighed at least least 500 lbs. Dude would have been crushed to death even if he somehow killed it with that punch. You don't just hit a fully fucking grown tiger mid-pounce and have its momentum shift 90 degrees >_>. That was my biggest gripe with that show as much as I enjoy it too.

I finished it last night. It wasn't for me. By episode 3 I had already figured out all the twists and how the show was going to play out.

I feel like there were only 2 likeable characters and the show had so many plot holes that they could have made that a game itself.

I won't shit on it completely, but to me it was meh at best.

Sang-woo is such a piece of shit. I dont think Ive ever cheered that hard when an antagonist got their comeuppanceeven if it was a lame self-inflicted wound that took him out.

and fuck Gi-Hun for crying over him after he just stabbed Sae-Byeok in the neck.

Fuck Gi-Hun for sitting on a fucking train for a year and not helping Sae's little bro or Sang's mom. Like, what a total dick move...

Yeah, that's the thing I really dislike about the ending. I get he might be severely traumatized after such an ordeal, but that's hard to excuse. Along with continuing to be a shit excuse for a father during that year and then going "yaaay revenge, fuck seeing my daughter" when he finally decided to step up

Solid 9/10 show.

The VIPs were super cringey, but apart from that it was still a fun watch. Way more emotional moments than in Alice in Borderland, to me.

They really shouldn't make a season 2, though. This was a complete story.

Yeah there's a ton of foreshadowing and subtleties they put in the show. That's why I always laugh when people talk bad about the show just because it was "predictable", ignoring all the good stuff before the ending

I thought the very end was pretty bad (you can look at my above comments as to why) but yeah, I still enjoyed the show--like you say, good effort, interesting plot, good acting...except for those shitty American actors and their cringy dialogue *shudders

The cop's bro's subplot was never resolved, unless the cop bro just died when he fell off the cliff, which would be super lame after all that. It also never explained why the cop's bro became the game leader either. Nothing came of the subplot, like a total waste of time...

That old man was so full of shit. He wanted to play the game for excitement but he broke all the rules to not die in ways the others could not, especially the "everyone is equal" rule.

And the ending where main dude leaves his daughter hanging to go John Wick on the VIPs was stupid. Like what's he gonna do?

And why red fucking hair?!

Creator/director explained that the red hair represented his ongoing inner rage against the company/organization behind the games and also his inability to move forward ("red light") in his life
