Alice in Borderland (2020)

WOW

I did not expect what I just saw. Totally worth the watch, I can't hype this enough! IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO BLOOD DO NOT WATCH. But otherwise, it's just so great, listen this idea is the most original thing I've seen so far, and it's the coolest shit ever. The characters are really interesting some have interesting backgrounds and some are just totally mysterious and I love it. It's very post-apocalyptic vibes meets jigsaw but less gruesome and cruel. The ending was just the biggest cliffhanger I've seen, like how can they NOT make a season 2?!

Aside from that SPOILER I just wanted to express the IMMENSE SADNESS, I felt when I watched episode 3 and saw my boys Karube and Chota died like that, I felt emptiness and legit looked like I just lost someone I actually knew lmao. I just couldn't handle it, it was straight-up PAIN. But anyways I can't recommend it enough to people just to watch them bawled their eyes out when they watch the episode, it's somehow entertaining.

Un muy buen dorama de acción

No tengo idea si tendrá que ver con el anime que es muy parecido en trama a este dorama pero de igual manera es un muy atrapante, con un poco de bajón entre tanta acción y misterio en la mitad pero que retoma el camino y termina con un muy buen nivel esta primer temporada dejando un final abierto para una segunda temporada que por suerte ya esta confirmada.
Lo mas flojo que no pude dejar de notar es la falta de música que al ser un dorama de acción se podría haber aprovechado muchísimo pero en resumen, es muy bueno y al ser corto es una muy buena opción para un maratón

uma série que te impacta e te deixa ansioso por mais

assisti assim que lançou, lembro que me prendeu e fique extremamente ansiosa para a próxima temporada que saiu a pouco tempo atrás (dezembro de 2022).
toda a história e a forma que o desenvolvimento dela afeta a relação entre ps personagens é muito intrigante, você nunca ta preparado para o que vem a seguir nesse cenário tão "livre" mas claustrofóbico ao mesmo tempo. a série não te prende aos sentimentos clichês de torcer por um personagem, mas ainda ainda assim você absorve suas vidas e lutas, sente elas e vê a importância que viver é para eles.
também há tantas e tantas críticas ao mundo atual e como vivemos que te faz refletir e rever como você vive o agora.
recomendo, mas também é importante ter em mente as cenas "explícitas" com violência que (talvez) possa gerar algum tipo de desconforto!

Heart-pounding, mind-blowing

Just to preface this, I started this without any background information whatsoever — I had never read the manga or watched the anime and didn't know what this was about aside from the gazillion (erroneous) comparisons to Squid Game.

I ended up loving this, especially the individual games; there's always a twist to them, and I was on the edge of my seat during all of them, no matter which category it was. The action scenes are just superb and the drama managed to do really successful and heart-wrenching character development in the little time they had, not for just our main leads but for all the side characters as well.

I have to admit that I don't love the later arc as much as the earlier ones; partly due to my preference for the "out-of-the-system" character and also because I managed to guess the game answers there, but overall the action sequences and fight scenes during these episodes were still great, and I love how the season ends and sets up the next stage of the story.

Cannot wait for season 2!

A great adventure

Let me tell you something. This series is not for everyone and that's why it doesn't surprise me that many people didn't actually like it. It has blood, violence, murder and sex which I can understand that many will not enjoy. To me though, this is a Netflix gem and you should really watch it

The story is really interesting and cool and the acting was spot on. I was really hanging at the edge of my seat, feeling emotional, angry and satisfied all at the same time. Also another thing that really catches your eye is the cinematography and the production.

For me, it was a great adventure. It was different from what I've watched up until now and that's why I've binged to that series in one day. I have to admit, although I know that many will disagree, that I enjoyed this one more than the squid game and I really can't wait for season 2 to be out.

Probably the first Japanese series I've finished (or I just can't remember others). Anyway, I'm a huge KDrama fan and was just curious to this one as this was just recommended by someone. Honestly, I really enjoyed this. Every game was well thought. The writer/s were intellectual in choosing their games. It was crazy and blood thirsty (as far as I can describe). I was not a fan of gore and brutal killing in my years of watching dramas but this one made me want to watch more. Amidst the chaos this series has, I also enjoyed some emotional moments between and among the characters. I think the male and female lead did a good job in playing their roles. I also commend how strong they were, not just physically but mentally and intellectually, because it was justifiable that they were able to survive a lot of games. If one of them was just a bit negative or is rather weak in handling the situation, it would not be realistic for him/her to survive. Overall a good watch to me. Looking forward to some amazing, crazy, and mind blowing season 2 and I hope it would be better than this.

Well, that was quite brutal. But it gave me a similar vibe to The Maze Runner which is always a plus, so there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My favorite games were those where Arisu got to show his smarts. Brutality doesn't really do it for me, I don't play any of those shooting games, whatever they might be called. But give me a game based on puzzle solving and I'm there with my bells on. So those games where the players had to actually use their heads as something more than a battering ram, those I loved.

But because of how brutal this drama was, I didn't actually feel sorry for any of the dead characters - besides Arisu's friends because that was at the beginning, when it was all fresh and new. But the longer it went, all the killing and murders, the more desensitized I was? Well, I mean, when there's too much of something - be it death or, I don't know, bad language - it stops hitting true. By the end, I was more shocked that any of them actually survived.

Overall, an interesting "dystopian" story. But I really had to be in the mood for it. The music, though, the music was absolutely amazing. I didn't skip the credits once!
