I understand what the producer / director want to say through this movie, women's rights, racial equality, homo rights etc, DEI in short. But there's a difference between lecturing and portraying moral values in storytelling. Too much, and too direct, lecturing is the approach used here, like using the characters to tell the audience that gays and colored people and women are discriminated against and here we are fighting for our rights blah blah blah, which is not the best way of getting one's ideas across.

Other than that, the series is entertaining especially in the first half, while its gets more and more predictable towards the end. The plot can be described as somewhat naïve and cliche.

This is a well-made drama, with good directing, good script, good acting, good cinematography. The main character played by Woo Do-hwan is the soul of the whole drama. I have not watched his previous works but his acting here is top-notch in my opinion.

I'm surprised that Netflix categorized this drama as comedy. This is NO COMEDY although there are some funny parts, the whole story is tragic and the tone is very very sad. Don't be fooled by that if you are looking for something light and feel-good to watch.

I feel that the 10 episodes can be shortened to 8 episodes. Sometimes the pace is a bit slow especially the crying scenes.

I watched 5 episodes but then found out it's not finished, I hate the Netflix now likes to split a season in 2 parts and release separately. Come on it's only 1 season, release all together.

I love Squid Game so I had high expectations for this game show. The first couple of episodes are quite good, interesting games with some additional twist so it wont be the same as the drama. But then it gets more and more boring. First, there are too much talking, too much "interview sessions" of individual contestants, some of them even spoke again and again. It's good to get to know them better by listening to their background stories, but some just repeated spoke irrelevant annoying stuff. Second, the elimination of players by other players is not as exciting/ entertaining as elimination through games, and they did this multiple times in a prolonged way.
