Directed By: Hwang Dong-hyuk
Directing – 9
I thought the direction for this series was outstanding. I also loved the character focus and how it decided to focus on the many different characters and what they go through and what is the reason for them being in this specific circumstance, what drives them to keep going, etc.
Cinematography – 10
The cinematography looks amazing, and the shots look beautiful.
Score – 10
The score is pretty good.
Story – 9
(SEMI – SPOILERS): It follows focuses on a group of people who are struggling with financial issues. Then a mysterious company invites them to play some games to win the money they need. Without getting into any spoilers, I loved how it focused a lot on the characters. The show tests these characters with the situations it puts them in. Are they able to do what is necessary to move on? This show isn’t for everyone. It tests the characters on their mortality, humanity, selfishness, greediness, etc.
Acting – 10
Everyone did a great job with the acting.
Post-Production – 10
Post-Production was handled incredibly well.
Entertainment – 10
The series is incredibly engaging. I don’t remember being bored by the show. My favorite episodes were Episodes 2 and 6. I think this is a must-watch show. Finally, please watch the show in Korean with English subtitles.
Final Rating
9.6/10 – A Must Watch!
