While watching the series I enjoyed the first half but I got a little disappointed with how the story turned out to be at the end.I was very impressed with this different concept that the director Hwang Dong-Hyuk came up with.A different game and the way they portrayed the struggle for survival was shown in an amazing manner.How a human behaves in life and death situations and the various life lesson this game teaches us is remarkable.I was very much impressed with the concept and the creativity that the writers and director had put into this series.The characters written were beautifully played by the different actors in the series.

The acting felt really convincing,the emotions displayed by the actors of fear,anger,disappointment,betrayal,hatred,forgiveness,etc was very well portrayed.Actors Lee Jung-Jae,Park Hae-Soo,HoYeon Jung played their characters with utmost conviction.Surprisingly it was HoYeon Jung's debut venture in acting and she did a fabulous job.The other actors Wi Ha-Joon,Lee Yoo-Mi,Kim Joo-Ryeong,Heo Sung-Tae,Yeong-su Oh also played their roles with utmost sincerity and dedication.The actors in this series did a commendable job by elevating the show with their performances.Special mention to Anupam Tripathi whose performance was outstanding,his portrayal of Ali Abdul was amazing and I don't think anyone else could have pulled off this role that well.The way he portrayed the naivety of Ali,his easily trusting nature and the empathy that he made me feel for the character was enough to tell that what a gem of an actor he is.There are also special appearances of actors Gong Woo and Lee Byung-hun.
