I wanna talk firstly about the atmospheric set up and locations which were so fun to view. The sleep area as well as the conversational area between games really sets the tone for the show and gives us a type of nostalgic feel as when we were kids and all slept in the same house. It targets your childlike minds and it is extremely fun to watch. The area definitely took time to construct as well as costs a lot to house but it was definitely worth it as the cast spent a good amount of the time on screen in this room.
The plot was so refreshing and such a newly put idea to the screen and the cast just made it that much more intriguing. A few characters were useless and did not add much to the games and if I were in the show I would target those individuals to be eliminated first but due to show politics, some characters has differing ideals in terms of letting the weak herd survive when it held no benefit to the show. As enjoyable as the show was, it would have hit much harder had the 5-6 strongest characters ( Seok-Jin, Orbit, See-Won, Dong-Jae, Guillamme, Dong-Joo ) been at the end of the series battling it out via pure intellect and cunning. A season 2 could excerpt this criticism hopefully and we could see an even smarter show than this already is.
The games were unlike anything I have seen on tv prior and since viewing this show. You have to have a high IQ to even understand some of the games considering how complex they truly are, which is why this show has incredible rewatch ability. I did not get bored even watching this show one time which truly says to how great of a show this is. There is always an engaging aspect that makes you want to continue watching and not want to put this show down. A sad aspect of this show is seeing some of the characters being underutilized due to either their own doing or just plain unlucky. Dong-Jae, Dong-Joo, Guillamme, all had much more to offer season 1 than what they actually did which is a flaw but all in all this show was fantastic. The winner was well deserved and the best player all season irregardless of each individual episode.
I did not agree with Orbit's strategy in the sense that the weak herd should not be a tag along group, and instead in a show like this, everyone should have to pay their dues every game to survive. Skill based eliminations are the key to shows like this, but for some reason it always becomes political. The finals was incredible and the games again were extremely fun to watch as well see play out.
I would describe this series as a Physical 100 but purely mental, which to some including myself is even more intriguing. If you are a fan of mind games as well as a complex mental model then this show is surely for you.

my opinion
The intelligence, the dynamics are completely admirable, but I think the rules of the game itself should have been explained more. Despite what was said, I, as a viewer, understood absolutely nothing.I'm definitely looking forward to watching the one in 2024, the casting of the participants is incredible, I loved the fact that there were lies, plot twists and much more. One of the best and funniest tests was rotating to fit the cube, sooo funny! I laughed sooooo much!

jogo do diabo porém nem tanto
o melhor jogo sem dúvidas foi o primeiro e eu gosto de as panelinhas funciona mesmo achando que muita gente ali era bem inútil e acabou os que mais queriam jogar e ganhar saindo antes do que deveria! (sempre é assim que acontece)os outros jogos me deixaram tão sem paciência para entender apesar de ser tudo bem explicado, só queria que jogasse logo e ver quem seria chutado
Dong Joo vs Lee Shi Won foi tudo apesar que eu achava que a shiwon nem se importava ou não percebia que tinha uma rival a atura do lado, ela só queria ser apoio dos homens !! porém as duas foram kingas !!!

O jogo que pode mudar tudo
Foi um grande jogo pra uma final, principalmente com o Orbit e o seokjin que foram membros dos grupos que se enfrentaram várias vezes durante o processo e merecia um final em grande estilo, acho que com o passar do tempo você acaba se apegando, queria muito que a dong Joo tivesse ido pra final, queria ela como campeã, depois fiquei com vontade de o seokjin ganhar e depois fiquei com um aperto no coração por causa do Orbit e depois feliz porque o grupo dele (seokjin) todo saiu e ele conseguiu chegar na final e ainda vencer, independente de quem vencesse, realmente merecia.Muito feliz que essas pessoas participaram da primeira temporada do reality, as primeiras sempre ficam marcadas e você sempre vai lembrar delas. Eu chorei, ri e torci muito, foi incrível acompanhar.
A ideia do reality é genial, o jogos é de fazer você perder a cabeça mesmo e ficar pensando.
Queria falar mais, mas foram tantas emoções, tanta coisa que nem sei
Dizer que tô orgulhosa do Seungkwan, muito feliz dele ter participado e acho que foi uma experiência fantástica não só pra ele como pra todos.

Nonton karena Ha Seok Jin tapi berakhir nyandu sama semua pemainnya. Ini aku kalau join udah eliminasi pertama sih pasti. Aku pas nonton udah HAH GIMANA RULESNYA ITU tapi mereka kaya langsung pecahin soal-soalnya cepet banget.
Favoritku di Fragmen Memori. Permainan ini bisa berguna banget di hidup sehari-hari. Nonton ini jadi sadar diri kalau kayanya ngga pernah kuasah lah otakku ini.
Nothing is more attractive than an intelligent man with humble personality, Ha Seok Jin.
