Like okay.

Loved season 1 so I was really excited to hear a season 2 was releasing! And well, I'm less excited for a season 3. The plot started good, I loved the first episode. I thought it was really interesting to see how Gi-hun was after the first seasons events, and I really loved Gong-yoo's character. Like he's so much more unhinged this season, it was awesome. I won't lie, the boat plotline bored me a little. Like i'd sigh a bit every time we switched over to that. I get that it was important to the overall storyline, but it just felt as though there was nothing actually happening, until the very end. I was happy that there were different games than last season, and the characters were great! I really thought the acting was far better this season! It just all felt really incomplete by the end. I mean obviously it's setting up for a third season, but nothing really came full circle at all. It was all just kind of heated chaos by the end. Pointless violence, deaths that dragged on a bit in the end. Gi-hun was killing me with how trusting he was as well. I thought maybe after player 001 from last season, he'd be a bit less gullible. Overall it wasn't a bad watch, I'll still watch season 3 when it comes out. Acting and budget wise, it's a great step up from last season. Jo yuri and Im siwan so! Can't really complain xx

...eh

I went into watching this after seeing the plot summarised on instagram, and I was super excited because, wow, what an amazing concept! Unfortunately it fell short of the mark, and while there were some good elements to the plot, they were often quickly forgotten. The conflict towards the end seemed wholly unnecessary, and while I can understand the character was shocked, it's difficult to understand why the incident would have caused as big a falling out as it did, especially since it came from seemingly out of nowhere. I will give credit where it's due and express that this was a very interesting premise for a show, and the first few episodes did keep me entertained, however that entertainment did not last as the show progressed. In terms of LGBTQ+ Korean Dramas, the concept was refreshing and intriguing, and I love to see more Queer additions to Korea's television scene! And I absolutely LOVED Sin Bi's character, they were so fun and the actress was really quite good, just would have liked to have seen more done with the characters and plot. All in all, not a bad watch, just not necessarily a great one either.

What was happening

Okay ngl I started the first episode and left it for like a month cause it started really slow and uninteresting. The first episode didn't really have me rooting for any of the characters so it was hard to get invested. Then after a solid 10 Hyunwoo tiktok edits, i decided to give it another go, and im so glad i did. dont get me wrong, the plot is crazy. Genuine hot mess. Like something new is happening each minute, i was seriously stressed out the whole time. But it ended up being super interesting, and i sobbed like a baby by the end of it. Its not the best ive watched, but give it a go if you have the time. u'll want to pull ur hair out but the cutesy family dynamics and batshit INSANE plotlines will keep u hooked. one of my 2024 favs!

Oh my god.

I'd rewatch this 100 times. And then 100 times after that. And then just to be same another 3.

The characters are so loveable and the conflicts feel so human it is honestly such a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong, I love my ridiculously far-fetched unrealistic K-drama's just as much as the next person, but it was so comforting to watch this show and just have it be so normal. The main couple had me SOBBING. They were just so darn cute! Usually when the plotline is 'Rich man' and 'Poor woman' I end up getting pissed off at how weak they make the woman out to be, but Do-yeon's character was so strong and resilient, she was my absolute favourite! She values her family and does her absolute best, I just have to love and respect the work she puts in! I have absolutely no complaints, and I'll be rewatching this for years to come.
