Negatives
Characters :
Characters were mostly played by famous actors . However , for Koreans , having famous actors play these parts is counter productive , even distracting . This is because they cannot separate the ACTOR from the CHARACTER . Insignificant characters were appearing too frequently .

Plot ( THE MAIN PROBLEM ):
The plot in the story is often unrealistic and unreasonable .
Although it is fiction , the decisions that the main character makes are often unreasonable .
ex 1 . The drama failed to persuade the main character to rejoin the game .
The main character ( Seong Gi-Hun ) won the previous game due to his luck , and he has a daughter to look after . However , he chose to rejoin the game with the extremely low probability of winning again .
SLAS TIMES 33
He claims that he wants to save people and get rid of the game . Yet , his plans are not advanced enough .
ex 2 . In the beginning , the main character was trying to save people . However , by the end , he makes people die for his planned riot .
Rating : 7 / 10
Seong Gi-Hun ’ s profile picture ( netflix )
The story plot of the second season by itself was not persuasive enough to the audience . Still , the themes that were conveyed within the drama were interesting . The scenes were high in quality as well as making the drama entertaining . However , the full story did not end in the second season . Therefore , in my opinion , I recommend people to watch the second season with the third season when the third season is released .
