“The 8 Show” tells the story of 8 people trapped in a secret space divided into 8 floors and participating in an exciting but dangerous show where they “make money as time accumulates”.
The film officially aired on the afternoon of May 17 and received mixed reactions from viewers.
Besides opinions that the content is somewhat similar to “Squid Game”, the ending is not satisfactory or Bae Seong Woo - “convicted drunk driver” has a comeback too soon..., “The 8 Show” still received positive feedback.
In particular, the fact that the film deals well with painful issues in Korea such as class stratification, secondary interests, oppression, and struggles... of people who are trying every day to prove their worth is a plus point.
Thanks to that, the film gradually increased its recognition with the audience. For example, in Netflix's statistics on May 29, "The 8 Show" recorded 4.8 million views (from May 20-26). In addition, the film is currently ranked first in the Non-English TV category on Netflix Global.
At the same time, the series also entered the top 10 list in 68 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Egypt, Indonesia, Vietnam... showing its popularity even though it has been released for nearly 2 weeks.
Thanks to the success of the film, the main cast also received attention from the audience and the media. In a meeting with Ten Asia on May 30, Moon Jeong Hee - the actress who plays the 5th floor (5F) player - shared many stories about her new project.
According to Moon Jeong Hee, she and her co-stars have quite good "chemistry" on set, especially with Han So Hee's ex-lover - Ryu Jun Yeol and "Blue Dragon Queen" Chun Woo Hee.
“What I'm most proud of is the incredible bond we developed between the actors. We all became really close.
Despite the challenging environment that could cause friction between the eight of us, we still encouraged each other. I also became close to actor Ryu Jun Yeol, who played the 3rd floor (3F) player. He was easy-going and friendly, which I really liked.
I was also very touched to be able to work with actress Chun Woo Hee again after such a long time. She is a junior who always shows her own color and is someone I always think is wonderful and talented,” the actress said.
Regarding the mixed reactions to the film, the star born in 1976 said: “I expected there to be mixed opinions. Because the color of the film belongs to the black comedy genre, it makes you laugh in discomfort.
Also, there are a lot of mind-bending and teasing elements. That's why I expected the film's content to receive different reactions."
