This series was so much fun!! The setting was absolutely gorgeous, and I really enjoyed the unpredictability of all the games they played. Since I watch a lot of variety shows, I thought this would be more of the usual, but to my surprise, everything in New World felt unique and refreshing. Plus, the cast had such great chemistry, it was endlessly entertaining seeing their alliances shift and change as rankings and betrayals shook things up. I laughed so hard at quite a few unexpected parts!
I could also really appreciate the editing of the episode previews: Whenever I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen, they kept me guessing and undermined my expectations. And since I was familiar with most of the cast, there was never a shortage of people to root for since they all had equal time to shine... my personal favorites were Lee Seung-gi and Kim Hee-Chul.
I really hope there's a season 2, so that this same cast can be reunited and really compete "without guilt" and go crazy in the race for 1st. I'm sure most of them - though one in particular - desperately yearns for revenge. ππ
