Featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: Sanjay Gupta/Denis Villeneuve (2021). I just watched all 9 episodes and my favorite was the sixth, Gganbu. It’s not perfect, nor a masterpiece, but it’s very well made and provides a certain level of emotional experience. The overall show was far beyond what was shown in the trailer. Very well directed, executed and finds its own unique points in the genre mix of various references such as Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji, Battle Royale, etc. I just hope everyone else enjoys this show not only in Korea but everywhere! PS Even to Korean ears, the VIP’s English conversations were not well written nor executed. I think the drama could hold up well enough without their presence and save the budget.
