fais_2311 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Posted September 27, 2023 The games were so intense. Remind me of The Genius, another Korean reality tv show
Harmonizer Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 The trailer intrigued me. What is the point of the game? I can't pick up the concept

That’s why it’s so good. The comp in Ep3/Ep4 was so intense. Can’t wait for you to experience that cause I was gagged with the strategies for that comp.

I can't pick up the concept The main goal is to collect tokens called ‘piece’ or something. They started with 1 piece each. And they can add or lost their token from the competitions called match. There are two matches, Main Match which is the comp that they can win the piece (and lose it too) and the other one is Prize Match (team comp) where they can add money prize and also win the piece. People with zero piece will be eliminated. Two people with the highest number of piece will compete in the finale to win the money

splozo Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Caught up on ep 4, after ep 2 I wasn't quite used to the format. I was really itching for eliminations every episode... until episode 3 hit. The stakes got RAISED and I am hooked now wow who needs a deathmatch. Spoiler The DESPERATION in See Woo's face during the entire comp as soon as they realized their rules would not be activated LOL what an icon. The entire cast is honestly bringing it which isn't surprising considering they followed the archetypes they went for with The Genius 1. Rooting for Dong-Joo and See Won and Seokjin among others!
Harmonizer Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 I really enjoyed these first 4 episodes and I loved the concept. I never watched The Genius, but I will definitely give it a go. My favorites were the minority alliance in the Death Match
fais_2311 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Posted September 29, 2023 Seokjin is so hot Him during the dice game
Psycho Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 Loving this, very The Genius coded I'm stanning queens Dong-joo, Si-won and Kyeong-rim Seok-jin the eye candy that you are
Euterpe Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 Watched the episodes this weekend, and I’m invested.

FOCK Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 I have no idea what’s going on half of the time because the rules are so convoluted, but I’m so invested & the results still gag me

Not Like The Movies Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Spoiler See Won noooo I wanted her to win! Ughh
Harmonizer Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Spoiler I am devastated See Won (Si-Won?) lost from the game. It does make me happy knowing she wasn't eliminated by another player. But I think a memory game against AI is bull ****. The obstacle of having to memorize the pieces is one-sided and she was robbed. Seok Jin is an amazing winner and I was rooting for him early on when he teamed up with See Won and Dong Jae. I loved most of the cast, though and I really hope this returns for Season 2. I will be checking out The Genius, for sure! Also, can someone please explain the spelling of Korean names? I have noticed that when I look online/Netflix has spelled some of them slightly differently (hyphens included/different letters, etc.). And are last names before first names? I realized I can Google, but the first part of my question is specific, so I am not sure I would find the answer I am looking for
FOCK Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 The ending was a bit abrupt, I wish it was more tense - but I’m so happy with the outcome, deserved! I read Si Won recently married a doctor, but I can’t be the only one that thought the chemistry between her & Seok-Jin was crazy, I was secretly hoping they’d go on to date after the show… I need to lay off the Kdramas lol.
Scandalous Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 loved this show so much! even tho the final 2 ended up being my least favorite 2 players in the game justice for Dong-joo and Siwon!
OrgVisual Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 IT's literally a copycat of The Genius Seokjin is becoming my least fav contestant due to the fact that his story is very scripted. And some of the "storylines" here are almost identical to what happened in The Genius so it couldn't be a coincidence How he miraculously solved that puzzle and managed to get to the prison on the very last day lol The moment Siwon got eliminated, i knew that he would win that secret game. The way the AI machine would miss such an obvious trap Dongjoo is probably my fav and she deserves to be in the finale. Her elimination was so stupid I like Siwon's spirit but she can be really annoying at times.
Psycho Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Sexy Seok-jin ending ORBIT like that now date See-won and start an OnlyFans, king
magic Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Randomly found this show and it was SAURRR good omg. Literally barely understand the games but I’m glued to the screen anyways lol
ALittleGauche Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Phenomenal show. Great winner. Wish the other one who played the blind game against the robot would’ve also won.
