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.

Plot Twist(s)

If you're looking for a small amount of plot twists or a simple finish to the first season TURN BACK! This series is gonna drop kick you off a cliff just to grab you and throw you down itself. lol There's so many plot twists I honestly lost interest because it became so repetitive. S1 was better in my opinion, but I still enjoyed the drama side of this series. I won't re-watch it just cause there's a roller coaster of plots. It was like once they had the upper hand some more BS came and made everything start back from the beginning. I have so much love for the cast and it was nice to meet a strong female in the series but that only does so much. Overall there were still some good "OMG" "AH-HA!" moments that I enjoyed enough to keep the rating this high. Hope there's a S3 (and that it delivers everything I'm left craving)...

Actually I dropped this drama at first episode but at that time this drama was so popular and I saw lots of short clip from this drama so I continue to watch it again, and starts from the second episode it attracts my attention, each episode give me heartbreaks but then when the story about to connect the main character, then the story become flats for me, it’s still good to watch, I still watch it every week but it gave me different feeling with the first 6 episode, since the first half is pretty good, I’ll still recommend this drama when you don’t know what to watch, it’s pretty worth to watch

Such a nice movie!

I was worry about that it won't be my taste..but I was wrong. I’m satisfied now, finally I found a movie what I like..with zombies. (anyway I don't like movies where are zombies, but this one is worth it to watch).
? The story was just like any ordinary, average zombie-movie, but this movie had this little pinch of romance, and also some lesson how to work with someone, and felllowship(?). l something metaphorical about the COVID-19 going on nowadays. And also I have seen some metaphorical references to COVID-19 going on today.
The zombies here were much more scarier than in other movies, just because this movie want to show us how dangerous some virus, even it's not looks like dangerous.
But of couse what I loved about this movie is the happy ending! Who hates happy endings, am I right? ;) Plus points for that! But I hope the movie creator give us some more type or movies OR they produce a sequel! aw
??‍?‍?? Anyway the cast was also great! The main cast was perfect, and also their acting skills was..omg! I loved every minute and every second.
The support role was also fine, without objection, impeccable. PERFECT!
⭐️ Overall, a 9/10, very thrilling and super fun to watch, even tho I don't like zombies, I fall for this one uwu!
? And at the last thing is what I want to say I just want to say thank you for the directors and to the cast and to the stuff, thank you for working hard <3

The highs
1. Acting: Xu Kai Cheng and Simona Wang were both good actors with their own charms. Ian Yi as Chu Yan really stood out.
2. Characters: ML isnt a stuck up chaebol. Isnt cold n stoic. Instead tends to express his feelings or affection. FL isnt whiny and would apologize if she kbiws shes in the wrong. Many side characters that are likable. Mr. Driver, FL best friend, grandma and Chu Yan (the 2nd male lead that was refreshingly unselfish). A lil side we didnt see more of the other girl that appears in Chu Yan' life.

The lows:
1. The plot: I had a hard time accepting, much less liking the plot. Ive seen worse of cos fr fluffy C rom-coms. But the tagged of romance n melodrama, i wish the plot was better crafted, less preditable, more thought provoking or touching. It never reached any peak for me. I even fast forwarded some bits which is rare for me to do so in a short drama (20ep only). My major petpeeve is how the ML got the FL. I see it as obssessive and manipulative. Good looks shouldnt excuse such selfishness. I dont want to elaborate to the extent of spoiling. But when you watch to mid way you would understand my comment.
2. The chemistry: Now this was a suprise since i said both ML and FL are good actors. And they were given a lot of setups, cohabilation hijinks and scenes as a couple, as husband and wife. Yet their kissing scenes or skinship scenes never evoke depth to me. Theres no passion or tenderness. Its like okay, liplock for this scene and move on next scene. So although theres comments that theres many kiss scenes for me quantity does not equate quality. I like seeing ML FL scenes but i felt disengaged evytym they lock lips. I dont know if its the directing or the actors couldnt loosen up and immerse in the scene. I rant on this cause the drama is hard selling the romance n yet i feel it lacking.

Rewatch value: very low for me. I did rather rewatch bits of Time teaches me to love or I hear you, both C modern romance dramas i watched before this one..while they are not perfect, they atleast stir my heart more.

EXCEPTIONAL !!!!!

This drama for me is the best one for the year of 2022, and possibly for a long time to come, the number of times I have re-watched this is endless ever since it came to an end.

The story, the cast, the locations, the productions, the scenes OMG were out of this world, and the fact that this drama has been trending No1 worldwide speaks volumes all on its own.

I love how each of the characters were so well matched and they fitted there partners well, for me Kinn and Vegas were the hottest throughout this drama. The way each learned to trust and love and work out there difficulties was amazing.

Honestly saying this is a 10 start is a little underrated.

I loved it....

Overall: Lets go do another re-watch (LOL)

Love it a lottt!!! it really gives me a new view of military if that make sense. i at first don't know what d.p stands for so I thought it's going to be smtg about inside the military like the armys training and stuff. but it's not. it kinda like a shade to the harsh military life, and i love the stories for each deserter. like I love how they show they all have sufficient reason to desert and not for fun, well except for one as far as I remember. and bcs of their stories, it kinda depicts the social issues and how the society are as well. love it love it love it! oh and yes, acting are amazingggg especially of course jung hae in and koo gyo hwan. i cut some rating just bcs i find it hard to focus at times. but objectively speaking, it's amazing.

Current rating is spot on

I don't normally trust the rating here in MDL because we all have different preference but this time i do agree that this series is good but not so great.

I like the first episode. It left a lasting impression similar to the Titanic movie where the band kept playing while the ship was sinking. It was captivating and sad.

The story is like building a matchstick tower, there's a feeling of fear and excitement as you build up hoping that you'll be able to use your last matchstick without it collapsing. But the storyline were not able to hold its standing. It eventually collapse in the end and did not meet the expectations of a good ending. The main game was ruined by too much talk and less play time. Well, good luck to season 2 where matchstick building will start again.

The main lead is too much, his acting is OTT and you can't feel his sincerity. Whereas Park Hae-Soo and Ho Yeon Jung played their role brilliantly.

Cinematography and music are in sync to the storyline. Overall, its a good watch but except for the first episode, i don't think i will watch it again.

Silly not worth your time

it's just boring.. probably because it's a movie so no character development. the plot doesn't make sense. the jokes are old. kinda a waste of time. i'm starting to doubt c-drama especially wuxia has no innovation at all. it's all kinda the same only remake and remakes. damn it.. this is my first review.. and how the hell am i supposed to write non spoiler review if i have to write 500 characters in length .. mydramalist you sucks..

Happiness in a sarcastic way

Happiness od pierwszego odcinka była czymś wyjątkowym, czymś nowym i świeżym. Cały pomysł na plot bardzo mi się podobał i akcja przeprowadzona została wartko i przyjemnie. Szczerze mówiąc, zawiodłam się na głównym wątku romantycznym, który lekko mówiąc przepadł na tle trwającej akcji. Do samego końca jednak uważam, że Saebeom i Hyungsik byli wspaniale wykreowanymi bohaterami, których osobowości można śmiało pozazdrościć. Nie tylko wykazywali się odwagą jak i szlachetnością, patrząc przez pryzmat innych dram byli to bohaterowie świadomi swoich decyzji oraz tego co będzie ich skutkiem. Mimo tego, że bardzo przeszkadzały mi "zapychacze" z pobocznymi bohaterami, którzy notabene świetnie poradzili sobie z doprowadzeniem mnie do szewskiej pasji gdy tylko widziałam ich twarze, jestem w stanie powiedzieć, że faktycznie przywiązałam się do tej dramy. Polecam ją każdej osobie chcącej sięgnąć po coś treściwego :))

Wow, this was just a fucking depressing movie. My eyes are pretty dry and it wasn't sad enough to make me cry, but this movie was just really depressing. Asian movies are so effing melodramatic. I've forgotten how much they love their melodrama. There's a line in this film that talks about how everybody loves their melodrama, and that's funny, because I don't think that's true. It's sort of like "Adjustment Bureau", but instead of a love story and a team of ninjas that make sure you follow fate, you basically get handed a "death letter". Depressing.

Story is what pulled me into this movie. Cast was what kinda kept me through the film. Music was ok; there was this scene were the violin piece just came in from nowhere and it was just so blatantly obvious, it made it horribly melodramatic.

Positive thing: I want to run my hands through Takayuki Yamada's long hair. I mean, even though his character looks and acts like a complete douchebag, just look at that hair. It's so shiny and it looks like he rewashes it for every scene. Glorious.

IGNORE OTHER REVIEWS

Please just listen to me. I don't know what other reviews said about this show to be disappointing??? All I know is Yim and Tutor have THE BEST CHEMISTRY EVERRRR!!!!! The fact that they make me forgot about the main pairing really says something. AND I AM SO GLADDD THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SERIES because this is DA BOMB!! I like how Jade is trying his best in solving the mystery of Mai's crush when he did not realize that he is Mai's crush. The way Yim portrays Jade is stunning and he knows that he has the best smile so he use it for his advantage in portraying Jade. I really like how the story shows that sometimes supporting role that supports you need their own support as well and if there is something for me to complain would prolly be THAT 8 EPISODES ARE NOT ENOUGH!!!!! please... give them more project cause what is this babe? 8 EPISODES????

Tutor on the other hand, WOW. The way he looks at Yim when playing Mai is really something else, man. I would honestly MELT. He looks really IN LOVE with Jade and it seems like he is MAI like Mai is him. I like how he is showcasing how he adore Jade as Mai and the action scene is not cringe either. I really laugh when I watch this series because IT IS SO DAMN FUNNY.

PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES ON IQYI since the UNCUT scene is *CHEF'S KISS*.

P/S: I still cannot get over the part Mai wearing Jade's glasses tbh FUCKKKKKK but anyway, please ignore other review and watch this series.
