I would give it 2.5/5 but there is no half a star score so I did 2/5. This show is so overrated. I binge watched it in one night because the setup and the pacing of the story is good, enough for you to want to finish it. But the ending was really horrible and reflecting on the story, I found so many plotholes and pointless characters. The games are too easy, required no strategy, no skills, no brain power. The female characters are so underdeveloped except for Sae Byeok but got killed in the lamest way possible. It is such a waste of a star-studded cast who can act very well. The main character is unlikeable from the beginning to the end. Except for 2 tricks, he didn't do anything smart or amazing for the whole and did not deserve to win at all. He was just lucky the whole way. I was waiting for him to shine with his street smart way the whole show but he showed almost none of it and I didn't see any major character development happen anywhere to make his character become more likeable. Almost all other characters are painted as greedy, ugly and one dimensional. I also predicted all the twists which happened in the series. It is an ok watch but definitely not as good as what others are hyping about.
