Don't get me wrong this is a good show, but it's not all that everyone makes it. I think the characters are good and the actors are good choices. I like the idea of playing children games to the death basically. I think this is an enjoyable watch and it has pretty good re-watch value because of the twists and turns, but other than that, I don't think it's the best thing ever. Hopefully soon there will be a different Kdrama that gets non Kdrama watchers into Kdramas. If you like this, you will probably like so many other Kdramas better.
