Can't wait for this! Looks like Takeshi's Castle crossed with The Running Man :D
 
Released tomorrow, i am really looking forward to this. I have recently enjoyed most of these Korean TV Shows lately, even Neighbours from Hell which was pretty grim. Bring them on!
 
Watched EP1 last night with the Mrs. Yep, that went mental! We both enjoyed it though. This could have come straight from the mind of Stephen King's Bachman alter ego lol.
 
Ep1 was very good, episode 2 seemed like a weird filler. Shall continue, but was a bit drained after episode 2 - though no doubt that'll pick up.
 
I watched it all over the weekend. Some pretty grim and depressing bits but pretty good overall.

I guessed the end part from the start. Pretty odd ending though.
 
Ep6 done...what i am wondering now is.

The organ selling black market thing, how come the main company that runs this operation isn't doing that themselves? Then they can choose to shoot the participants in the head mostly and harvest them for their own gain. I mean they are going to burn the bodies anyway. It seems a missed opportunity.

Added risk of getting caught, could be undercover cops who they're buying from etc.

Also episode 4/5/6 were outstanding!
 
Finished it, good in places, some fillers.

Also, i find the idea that this guy, who spent a year living like a hobo with all that money all of the sudden have the willpower to go back to do another game is a bit ridiculous for season 2. Unless he is trying to use his money? And saw the twist at the end coming regarding the old man.
