My last Jdrama of 2020. It didn't disappoint. I thought I wasn't so much into this kind of survival stories, but seems like I am because I liked Gantz and love Battle Royale. I would say the weak point of this drama are the games... they are not very witty, like Liar Game. Casting and setting, 100 points. If Jdrama had more budget, they would all be like this drama, visually, because regarding story and cast, it is the same as always.
Ok, there is another weak point and that is the wigs... Usagi's wasn't that bad but it was obvious she had one (when she was running); but Chishiya's and Mira's... awful.
I wanted Tsuchiya Tao to have more action scenes to be honest, she can pull it off. And she has a great body, like an action movie start should be (not too skinny). I love the actress Asahina Aya, who was Kuina, her role and her story, also her action scenes. I've read many people complained about the sex scenes and sexualization of the girls, but they were all part of the story. The first girl moved up in life because she used sex to her advantage, and the possible rape in ep06 (?) to show the audience that a place with no rules make people -specially men- go like monsters. Rape and murders, that is all thanks to the f**cking men :/
**My rating: 8.5**
