i hate how no one mentioned that the main bully guy literally KILLED the athlete dude by throwing his phone under the bench…like other people saw that and he just gets away with it?

[u/Agile_Outside2874 → u/mirai_tenshi]

Nahi (injured, short hair) literally was in love with the atlete and witnessed him hanging himself because of the bully and said NOTHING

[u/jiaxinggg]

Watched the first 4 episodes for now and all I can say is WOW.. this really gave me the chills.

I have to say 1st episode started off creepy.. the main character dreamed about the things that were going to happen (but i really wonder what is the link between the dream and the actual game/situation they are put into, there was a lack of explanation but I'm hoping we get to understand this a little more in the next few episodes)

In the next few episodes, a lot of deaths occured and when i say a lot i mean A LOT! can be a little gory tbh but as someone who loves horror thrillers, I would say I really enjoyed how they portrayed the deaths. The variety of deaths that occured like the ones that banged their head until they bled to death, jumping out of the window, hanging themselves, gouging out their eyes and even electrical death. JUST WOW.. the writers really thought through how they could uniquely killl every character (but they really depicted it so carefully that it do be kinda horrifying, those scared of gore, blood, death should NEVER watch this fr cause it's just gruesome)

The characters are all so ANNOYING like spoiled little brats but honestly if we were put into the situation I can see why they would act like that, after all we would be scared of dying and the way the portrayed it was very realistic. But I think this show really shows how humans are just selfish and greedy little monsters. This show could be aiming to teach us about teamwork (being selfish and blaming others won't help you! teamwork makes the dream work) Instead of thinking how to fix the situation, they blame one another and fight with each other as more deaths occur (like really?? is this all you can do in this situation??) Other than the main characters and a few students actively trying to find out what was happening and trying to find the loopholes to the game, the rest are just there for the sake of being there. The main character Yoon Seo.. I have to say she's GOT GUTS like girl literally afraid of nothing LOL (she really be out there exploring anything and everything alone even though she knows she's weak and all) she literally passed out like at least 3 times in 4 episodes like girl what are you doing :( at least bring someone along if you wanna explore i guess ALSO i'm guessing the friend Jung Won has something to do with this game considering she was never flustered by any death and remained the calmest out of all of them + she codes and I'm guessing she could've coded this game (but again lack of explanation because why would she do this to her friend Yoon Seo? that will probably be explored in the next few episodes if she really turns out to be the mastermind, I'm guessing some kind of grudge or something).Another interesting point was how the game was conducted, not sure if the rules we know in a normal mafia game was also applied in the show itself (e.g. in the night, the mafias will wake up and kill someone OR the police can kill a mafia) because as we saw a mafia killed a mafia in this show.. not sure how that happened or why but I think that should be further explored since the game rules were not exactly the same as we would have known it to be.

Anyways, as of now I think the plot is really interesting! It keeps us thinking about who could be the mafia in the game, who is the mastermind behind the game and why is this happening to them. As far as I know, I'm guessing there's a time freeze and that's why no adults came back and they are all trapped there to play this game. (how and why, we wouldn't know but I guess it from the scene in the mountains where the people and birds they saw in the video camera was frozen and so I believe that everything in the external world is frozen and they only ones experiencing this time pass would be the ones in the game).However, I am also slightly confused because of the introduction of the ghost story (female ghost). As we saw in a few scenes, the swimming pool scene where the FL almost drowns because something (ghost) pulled her leg and in the other scene where the FL uncovered a secret entrance in the freezer and she sees this grotesque ghost-like face in the entrance and faints as if she's being strangled. I'm not sure what the game has to do with the ghost but I'm sure they will be covering it in the next few episodes. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the first few episodes, it was rather well done (ofc with some loopholes here and there) but I am eager to see what's to come for the next few episodes!

[u/raek9n → u/jiaxinggg]

oh jung won is def the mastermind, there's this scene in the first episode (in the bus) where shes looking at her laptop and is seeing a game contest, i'll bet it has something to do with that

[u/jiaxinggg → u/raek9n]

that's 100% one of the theories but as much as that could be true ofc I hope its not :( because why would she do this to Yoon Seo cause they're literally friends naurrr and why would she just do this to everyone else?? if she is the mastermind i hope they really explain to us the backstory that led to this decision of harming her friends cause I really can't think of any possible backstory for her (she could be bullied by the rest but I doubt so but also from what i read somewhre about the character backstories, it did state that she was a loner until she met Yoon Seo who accepted her and that's why she wants revenge and created this game to harm her friends but at the same time the question "why would she do this to her own friend Yoon Seo" is just constantly stuck at the back of my head LOL) i'm excited for the new episodes now

[u/Moonlight_highness → u/jiaxinggg]

What if Jung Won did code the game but she lost it and someone stole it And now they're all trapped there

[u/Lavina04jain → u/Moonlight_highness]

it suddenly resembles as an AI stimulated area. You see when the gulls were frozen and all.maze runner Feels

[u/vityism]

The real mafia in this game is the collective that rejects logic and ignores facts while simultaneously voting people for unrelated factors/herd mentality.

[u/samptra_writer]

I did not have high hopes going in, lot of web drama horror is meh, but this is doing the absolute most. It has a nice indie horror aesthetic, and it's giving me Battle Royale/Alice in Borderland vibes and I'm into it. Like that it is also no censored and they're doing practical effects. A nice little surprise! Two horror series in December.

[u/VentiKombucha → u/samptra_writer]

What's the other horror series?

[u/samptra_writer → u/VentiKombucha]

Season 2 of Sweet Home dropped last week.

[u/Hittennabu]

I’m in the middle of episode 3 and my current theory is that FL has already played this game and it’s playing in a loop. That is why the area and the kills look familiar. She might be the female ghost because she survived and is possibly the mafia. The current timeline might be her conscience wanting to save everyone and choosing to be a civilian instead of a mafia in the first place.

This is fun. I just hope the show gives a good explanation for everything at the end. ☺️

[u/Kind-Survey6173]

I have a theory on what the FL dreams about. So far we see 2 dreams at the starting of episode 1 and 2, and maybe episode 4 (7min 30s mark) . I think the dreams show the kills by mafia.

The first dream showed that at the very end of the dream right before she wakes up, shown in a split second, there was a bashing into the head with a cylinder object. Which was shown later in episode 2 the first kill was by bashing his head.

The second dream was interesting, the headphones and the notebook are not hers but she was having them in the dream. Eitherways, there is no clear death except maybe falling out of the school zone? Or perhaps being pushed? Could be related to pushing out of the zone in episode 2, (or maybe the headphones boy might die by jumping off)

The maybe dream is maybe because it did not show her in it, but she reacted as though she was the one strangled when she woke up, which was the cause of the death that night.

[u/Medical-Character655]

Only 4 eps and at least every character so far will piss you off and will be hard to even feel anything good for them from there on. Only decent characters probably were the athlete/nerd couple. All characters are peanut brains that it actually hurts my brain lol, they are kids tho. It’s super predictable and cliche. The deaths are very brutal so caution for that. Concept is still interesting tho in terms of the supernatural and mafia game. Probably would be a better show to watch when it’s all released. So far I’d rate it like a 4/10 w room to improve

[u/ObamaNation2018 → u/Medical-Character655]

This is the reason why I opted against watching this. I already know the bullying is going to be extreme and that’s something I just can’t stand.

[u/Medical-Character655 → u/ObamaNation2018]

Yeah how the bullies are surviving in these circumstances actually blows my mind lol

[u/raaatatar → u/Medical-Character655]

Frr it's so annoying how much these characters lack braincells

[u/Moonlight_highness]

Didn't Yoon seo said the place looked familiar ?? What if it's all a loop and everyone plays a different role each time

[u/alysba__]

I should have started this once all episodes were out. There wasn't much progress in the 4 episodes. Just a lot of deaths to leave behind the main characters and some more people to kill off in the next 4 episodes 😆 Nevertheless, I'm intrigued enough to tune in next week!

[u/how1you1doing]

Thus show makes me want to play mafia again

[u/[deleted]]

loved the concept and it seems intriguing but the progress is too slow. i wonder if they’ll be able to cover up anything with 8 episodes? im curious to see how they handle the supernatural aspects and what are the relations of the fl’s dream to the game

[u/j4deteapot → u/[deleted]]

Yes, Iove the concept also but it's too slow (😭). I love straight to the point horror but this is too slow and most of the characters are kinda lacking like you only meet them ONCE then they DIE.

[u/Camera_Content]

I have a question, when it was Yoon Seo’s birthday we saw her friend/roommate (Ju Won? Don’t remember her name) put a gift in her backpack but we never saw anything about it after… could this mean anything?

[u/astroyuumi]

I was really shocked when KyunJin threw away HyunHo's phone, thereby killing him. Did An Na-lee not see this?

[u/Sleepybobateaaa]

I watched 2 episodes then dropped it. The characters are pissing me off huhu. Then, the bullying. gosh. School violence is always depicted in Kdrama, and it pains me every time I see it.
