How Did The Contestants Escape The 8 Show? Their Grueling Experience Explained - Main Image

The 8 Show is the latest South Korean dystopian survival show on Netflix. Like Squid Game, it asks the same question: What wouldn't you do for money?

The series brings together eight debt-ridden contestants in a high-stakes reality competition. Their only goal is to survive for as long as possible in a bizarre apartment complex. There's even a timer, which adds pressure to the chaos.

How The Contestants Escaped The 8 Show

After overthrowing the tyrannical reign of the 8th Floor, the lower-floor players attempt to use the 1st Floor's (Bae Sung-woo) 1 billion won to move to a higher-level room, only to discover that the money only bought instructions, and switching floors is challenging.

The brand-new Korean drama on Netflix is all about a satirical take on the reality television shows audiences watch on all kinds of small screens. It is a genre of television that brings out the voyeuristic side of people who find fun in peeping into the lives of the contestants who take part in these shows. The whole point of a reality show is to have cameras around the contestant that record their daily shenanigans.

Jin-Su (Third Floor)

Ryu Jun-yeol, as Bae Jin-su, is the central character of The 8 Show. This show begins with his plight of lacking the financial means to close a debt. Bae Jin-Su is a typical young man with no prospects of living a lavish life.

2022 was finally the year that the Korean box office, after the pandemic, was defibrillated back to life. Producers and distributors were finally confident that the time was right for big budget, blockbuster projects, that had long been queueing up for a release, to start making their way to the theatres. After having to resort to Ott streaming and generally smaller scale films, the audience too was hungry to see high-value productions, entertainment and their favorite stars on the big screen and thronged to the theatres, lapping up these releases. So much so that 2022 saw four new films make their way into the 100 highest grossing Korean films of all tie at the domestic box-office, with Ma Dong-seok’s “The Roundup” even rolling comfortably into the top 10.

2023 too began strongly, with the long-in-production “The Point Men” starring Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin and the Sol Kyung-gu led ensemble spy thriller “Phantom” opening the year strong.
