VIPS

When I first heard of VIP it was a super intriguing twist. Maybe i'd get to see Korean elite or some rich foreigners. I was right about the foreigners but holy hell,.. WHO CAST THEM.

The script and their delivery of it was worse than the script for Revenge of the Sith. Some of them tried putting on accents as well but I still can't decide if the stag is supposed to be Russian or French, he seems to blur the accents.

And that gay naked rich guy requesting a blow-job was so weird. It did not fit into the series, at all. I know that the film most likely has a casting staff that is mainly Korean but if they see us in that way I am concerned.

The rest of this episode was absolutely great as always!

To follow previous episode was always going to be a tough act to follow, but I have to admit this one does extremely good. The Game is top notch (the resolution of two characters is downright chilling) and what has to say about survival is bloodcurdling. The only thing that tears all apart just a bit: the clunky, cliched VIPS.

They introduce new characters (the VIPs) that are SO bad at acting that kind of distract you from the game of this episode. Worst thing is, they don't even show their faces, they just talk.

It's fine to criticize the acting of the VIPS (sounded more like dubbed actors than real Americans behind those masks) but to criticize their presence is missing the point. There are always rich people spending money on sick pervertion. Watch Eyes Wide Shut.

What an amazing show ........ until the VIP's appeared.

Id love to know the casting process to bring them into the fold. Its woeful. Every line (and theres a lot of them) was poorly delivered and cringworthy.

I was sitting in awe at the series and keenly looking forward to a 10/10 rating but its just impossible now. Hopefully they arent as prominent in the remaining 2 eps .... Which i suspect they will be.
