Could it have ended better?

I watched this season expecting to treat it like how I treated the first season, just meh. I enjoyed the storyline of the first season but this second season made me actually wait for each week and look forward to the progress of the character's lives.

The problem (for me) with the first season was that only two love stories were really highlighted, everyone else had someone we shipped them with but it did not seem to be going anywhere. I liked how this season really wrapped everything up nicely although it would have been nicer to see a wedding with at least one couple (again this is just my preference).

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures or do they?

I really liked how this showed some realities of the lengths that people would go for the allure of money. Yes, even risking their lives despite not knowing much of what would happen with each game.

Each game really kept one at the edge of their seat or hugging a pillow as I did for the most part of this show. I think a reason why this is a show that is really trending is not just the story line which is really well-written by the way, it is also because of how the different characters are portrayed. You see their backstories and understand the desperation that fuels their drive to complete each game. Kudos to the actors who really did a good job at making us love or hate their character!

Something I didn't like though was how they made me think differently of the waltz that I used to dance to. Hehe. All in all, it was a good show although I don't think I can handle watching it again unlike with Alice in Borderland for some reason.
