I think the voice actors are directed to mimic the deliveries of the Korean actors, which leads to word emphasis and cadence in odd places to the ears of native English speakers. I don't think it's as simple as "bad dubbing", because obviously anyone who speaks native English knows it isn't natural (including the voice actors, who are all bilingual). It's a stylistic choice common to a lot of Asian imported media.

It wasn't perfect but I enjoyed the hell out of this. I think I feel that they never went all in on any aspect of any of it, but it still worked. Probably the fastest I have made it through a show of this length in quite a long time, really wanted to keep seeing where this was leading.

The game host is a Hong Kong action star. I highly recommend you check out his other films. Lee Byung Hun.
Both of these are solid revenge flicks.

A Bittersweet Life

Why is everyone in Korea millions of funny money in debt? From this show I gather that absolutely nobody has money and everyone is completely in debt, except as a random chance win, but someone will probably steal it soon. At least they can still buy booze on honor or whatever.

This show made me wonder if personal debt really was a big issue in Korea. Holy fuck:
South Korea's youth debt binge shows no sign of slowing as rate hike looms
When South Korea announced new lending curbs last month, Joe Park, a 34-year-old grocery chain purchasing manager, scrambled to borrow more money before the tighter rules took effect.www.reuters.com
Partly covered in that previous post, I believe.

I've watched enough asian gameshows to know that it's also really realistic. Asian people tend to take the rules at face value and act very different from white's/blacks in those situations.

Something that bothered me about episode 6. Rules being the rules and all (went back and watched again just to make sure I was right).
During the marbles game the rule was "take all 10 marbles from your partner" not "have 20 marbles" by the end. Would have ruined the show but seems like it'd be really easy to have a watcher observe a game that had you exchange all 10 marbles with your partner in effect having both "win". Then again maybe it points out how retarded those losers were in there they couldn't get out of their debt

The tone of the show is super un-even. It's quirky, it's dark, it's cringey, it's horrifically violent, it tries to be funny, it is sentimental, it's tense, it is sad. It is all over the place.
Everything it does, they go for it 100%. They take it to the extreme. They had an interesting premise, good cast & characters, and they all believed in what they were making. It is far from perfect or great, but it does more good things than bad.
I wish HBO could have gotten ahold of this and put their extra level of polish on it.
*AND good god, don't watch this with the English dub. It is embarrassing and annoying. LRN2Read you illiterate fucks.
