A Royal Flush
This drama was so highly anticipated for me. It was one of my first dramas and right off the bat I was hooked by the story. The second season continues right after the first season, but the transition is so smooth that I was sucked into the story and where it left off without wondering what was happening or which character was who.
This show is visually stunning, and I love to see, it must just mean the budget is high and I’m so glad it. Clearly there is a lot of care put into this show. With a two year wait for this season there definitely was the time put in. It was all worth the wait.
Alice in Borderline is a must see for anyone who likes death game shows or media. It’s a must see for anyone that likes thrillers. Honestly I feel bad for people that haven’t seen this at all. It deserves all the praise and hype coming and more spilling over that. Why? I’m in love with this drama because it has a balance of everything. There are frustrating parts, it’s heart racing, it’s very gory. It’s really all out there with its premise and doesn’t hold back with anything. This is a show I’m glad that got a drama adaptation over anime. I can’t see it being done any other
way.
Although there are moments that it gets very tropey and I can tell it comes straight from a manga. An adaptation doesn’t need to be page by page, not saying that this is.. but there are elements that make is a bit off to me.
Where the girl for the tag game wants to keep Arisu on her team because he is ‘her type’. That screams anime protagonist to me because Arisu isnt anything amazing. She just sees him and thinks that, multiple girls say how he is their type and it doesn’t make any sense. Kento Yamasaki is hot, but as for the character Arisu he just underdeveloped a little. Arisu also isn’t as good as the first season because he isn’t able to be as intellectual as he is in the first season.. he has his plans but they fall short a lot. The games are less about smarts and more about being physical. The whole climax of the spades king was hard to take seriously because all of our main characters are fighting and getting killed but Arisu is spraying arisol in a building the whole time. It’s funny the decisions he does and how he isn’t taught anything like shooting or being able to survive.
My biggest complaint is how they didn’t change some things from the source material. The whole idea of the guy surviving the fire from the first season and becoming an enemy is out of pocket for me. There is only so much people can survive, and I would let it go past but the show seems to forget he’s a character and then adds him again. His character culminates to a shoot off.. that scene is wrong in every single place.
The characters who die that are main characters, so I wish their deaths would’ve been handled better. They have a lot of motivation and build up all to the point that they die and then it was like they were written off.
The romance isn’t a strong suit of this drama, it’s one of those cases where I wish they would’ve went all out instead of forgetting about it. The connection between Arisu and Usagi is very good, they really have good chemistry and their story is heartbreaking and heartwarming both at the same time.
Chishiya was my favorite character because of how he went through the games. He is very smart person and if anyone can beat the games it’s him. He doesn’t take life too seriously and doesn’t have the passionate monologues, he’s an amazing character but was only barely tapped into with his backstory. The games are most interesting when they are psychological and those best games are with Chishiya. How his character was closed off really sells it to me that this isn’t the last season. If this really was the conclusion to the series I would rate this a maximum of an 8.0. I really am unsatisfied with the fact this could be the last part because the whole world building of this other world was falling flat. They set up so many things like cameras and setups, the world was real but then.. it isn’t? I’m confused by this ending because I feel like it’s a joke, hence the joker at the end. If this is the ending than that really is horrible, but if it’s not props to the show for kidding me.
The action is stellar and it’s easily the best part of the show. I really enjoyed this show a lot though, but it’s not perfect and unfortunately it’s not as amazing as the first season. But the first season is a 10/10 so that’s hard to beat. I complain about things because I am nit picky. But this show is so entertaining. I can’t help but reminisce about how amazing the first season is. This show is very high budget and it feels like a movie each episode, unfortunately it feels like it’s packing so much in but missing a lot of basic threads to tie it together.
