    Good

    This episode has some awesome camera shots. The whole episodes furthers the plot of the police inside the games.

    Exciting!

    Loved the episode! Completely exciting and thrilling. The story revolves around it.

    I like the example of equality. They have no mercy on anyone. Those who have broken the rules have been killed. Either this is a player or a worker.

    Building up the tension

    This episode is weaker than the rest of episodes but still it's a great one. We can feel the tension building up and it looks like there will be some serious twists later. Can't wait!

    The second half of the series starts to set up future revelations

    After a wild resolution from previous episode cliffhanger, the pacing slowes down to take a good look at the characters and their stories, as well the corrupted spirit of some of them involving activities kept in the dark to the masked man. Really good entry.

    I would consider this episode as the weakest plot-wise.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the conversation between Ali and Cho Sang-woo, after learning Ali's age, the latter tells him that he can address him by his given name (Sang-woo, since in Korea, the family name always comes first). This isn't merely a politeness issue; the full translation is that Sang-woo actually allows Ali to call him "hyung", meaning "older brother", which is used to address older men with whom the speaker has a special bond. Foreign immigrants like Ali are generally regarded as a lower class of citizens. Until that moment, Ali has been submissively bowing and addressing everyone as "sajangnim" (boss), so to his delight, this is the moment where he is finally considered an equal.

      Front man: Whether you sell the dead bodies' organs, or eat them, or whatever, I don't give a damn. However, you ruined the most important aspect of this place: Equality. Everyone is equal while they play this game. Here, every player gets to play a fair game under the same conditions. These people suffer from inequality and discrimination out in the world, and we're giving them one last chance to fight fair and win. But, you broke that principle.
