No. But it does get more compelling as you get to know the characters.

Crunchymum · 06/10/2021 22:19

I'll persevere. I wasn't quite expecting that!!

I want to watch it but I tried the dubbed version and it ruined it I had to turn it off lol

SingingSands · 06/10/2021 22:26

DH and I have just watched episode 6, we watch one episode a night. It's starting to affect my dreams. It is so fucked up but so compelling to watch.

ThePurpleOctopus · 06/10/2021 22:26

Hand on heart I usually can't stand gratuitous violence or horror stuff, and it should not be my kind of thing at all. But something about how they build the characters and the story, and the suspense around each of the games.... it totally got me hooked.

Anycolourwilldo · 06/10/2021 22:27

Stick with it. The characters develop and it becomes more than just a blood bath. I'm on episode 5 and I'm gripped.

By far the best thing I've watched in a long time. We binged it over three nights. Mind blowing

By just watching two more mins Blush

Isit bad. Not seen it but my nearly 12 year old is watching it

Bloodylovecheese · 06/10/2021 23:21

Just finished episode 2. I wanted to see another game, but I'm hooked already.

gardeninggirl68 · 06/10/2021 23:31

about to start episode 3....its a bit dull so far

not sure what i was expecting really but its on the OTT side

SpindleWhirl · 06/10/2021 23:34

What is it actually about?

nancybotwinbloom · 07/10/2021 00:08

Adults in huge debt agree to play games for massive amounts of money.

If they lose they are out. Literally out of the game. It's very good.

Ozanj · 07/10/2021 00:11

If you want this type of horror I do prefer Warrior. It’s another Korean drama

WhichHairBear · 07/10/2021 00:13

I thought it was incredibly dystopian n really crap. Wouldn't recommend in the slightest. Predictable, boring and very poor dubbing

SpacePotato · 07/10/2021 00:18

It's like Takeshi's Castle meets the Hunger games but more violent.

An 11 year old? It's full of brutal violence and also has a sex scene totally unsuitable for children. Waaaay too young to be watching it!

You can choose to have it in Korean without the horrible dubbing.
HighHighHopes · 07/10/2021 00:27

I thought it was rubbish! Watched the whole thing though. Meh.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 07/10/2021 00:28

Lol. Watch it with subtitles. Crap dubbing doesn't define a show.

Werehamster · 07/10/2021 00:41

It definitely gets more brutal and gets more psychologically brutal.

I can't believe how many people have let their kids watch it.

The final scene with the husband and wife really broke my heart.

BathroomWindow · 07/10/2021 00:41

Just finished episode 6, compulsive viewing.

Wouldn't let a 12 year old watch it though.

Werehamster · 07/10/2021 00:41

I mean the final scene of the husband and wife.

Gwrach · 07/10/2021 00:57

I really enjoyed it. The character development is key to it.

Who on earth is letting an 11 year old watch gratuitous violence and sex scenes!! No, just no.

ImFree2doasiwant · 07/10/2021 21:49

@Flowersintheattic2021 are you kidding?? It's really really not for children.
