The songs were all amazing. The acting throughout the show was absolutely phenomenal! The changes that were made from the Japanese and Korean productions to this one I really liked, and I think they definetly enhanced the overall quality of the show. They’re Only Human and The Game Begins we’re our favourite scenes in the show, and they were just absoloutley incredible! The overlap between Act I and Act II was really good, and helped to keep us engaged in the story The only confusing part of the show was the introduction to the fbi agents, as unless you have watched the anime and already understand the inner workings of the show, you wouldn’t understand why they were there because there was no previous mention of killings happening outside of Japan.
