If you love the work of Junji Ito and had read Tomie.
Well, I recommend this show as the main character
have Tomie vibes.
There is something seriously wrong with watching people with problems, especially when it is based on facts and presented by a participant making a show out of it.

I would have rated this drama 8.5/10 and most of it comes from how much I loved the chemistry between this two guys, that was real good low-key-cuteness ( did you see the last twenty minutes of the finale? bromance overload ) !! Don't hate on me for liking this remake because I haven't watched the original series and my opinion is only taking into account k-drama standards.
So far im really enjoying it although the guy is a bit of a loser, he should have put a bottle over the rapists head and pushed fat arse into the canal.
Watched 1st episode and I can say is: don't expect this to be a serious TV show. Exaggeration of the emotions by the actors is through the roof. It's 3D anime/manga.
I immensely liked this show, it was a little bit of Hunger Games and Battle Royale. The story was exciting, the games were cool and interesting, and the characters were life-like. I guess this is the main reason I loved this show - there were no kdrama bs, no romance no nothing we got used to in other kdramas. This was an awesome tv show, with great side stories, and although sometimes the acting was off, or the dialogues were clichés, overall the drama did an awesome job to hook its viewers. Favorite characters were the old man and the north korean girl, favorite games were the first one (the moving, not moving) and the marbles.
MInus 2 points for the ending, because it is such a bad way to close - it was not logical for our main character to act like that. :( Apart from this, it's still a better kdrama. Dark, gritty but it hooks the viewers instantly.
This was a great show but season 5 is a bust. Why? Because every episode is 5 maybe 6 minutes of story telling and the balance is a country music video. A real disappointment.
