Getting a lot of hype. Korea has churned out some good content over the last couple years. Will try to start this over the next couple days. Has anyone else checked this out and thoughts? Good RT score, however RT increasingly has become less reliable

Personally, I'm not a fan of translated films.. I feel like some things get lost in the translation plus hate it when the video seems to lag behind the audio. However, I've heard plenty of great things about the show!

decent show with a lot of twists

lot of famous korean actors in it as well, especially the dude in the mask.

the actor from train from busan, imagine being paid handsomely to do a quick scene slapping ppl in the face and giving them $1000 when they win a game :rofl:

Then watch subbed....

I tried watching it in English and made it about 5 minutes and switched because of how horrible it was.

While the show was laughably predictable like most horror/dramas on Netflix, I still enjoyed the ride a good deal. I was a little bummed I saw both *twists* coming from the middle of the first on one, and the middle of the second on the next (as the character wasn't even introduced until the second episode), but that's kind of to be expected with this type of film.

I really don't understand why people watch dubs. Subs are so much better.

I also don't really get why this is considered horror.

Which twists are you talking about? I assume you mean the old guy and the brother? If so I agree, very very obvious.

I think it's a shame it ended the way it did. The character that lived only did so to set up a sequel, which kind of sucks. It could have been a lot better if their end goal was the best story instead of a continual story.

Finished it

Predictable but enjoyable. He did that brown guy so dirty lol

Those VIPs were cliche as fuck. Is that how Korean masses really view American elites lol. More of a statement on us honestly on how the world views america. “69 , ok fk well uh 96.” Lmao

Overall I definitely enjoyed it. I think it’s hard for shows especially in this genre to be totally elusive. I wonder if a 16 episode one season show might be better than separate seasons but who knows. I am just happy to have some original content

Honest question

Game 4, wtf would you have done if you’re in their shoes. I definitely would have been that asshole that refused to go and just hugged the fuck out of the glass lol
