“But don’t you think it’s too dangerous?” Of course not! Netflix has revealed a teaser trailer for a new game show dark comedy series called The 8 Show, from filmmaker Korean filmmaker Han Jae-rim (known for his films Rules of Dating, The Show Must Go On, Emergency Declaration). This series plays like a mashup between The Platform and Squid Game – another clever metaphor for capitalism and how awful it really is. It’s yet another game show for Netflix, but this is a fictional series based on web comics. “An irresistible but brutal show’s curtain will be rising.” Eight contestants in financial hardship take part in Money Game, a reality competition with 44.8 billion Korean won up for grabs. To win they must endure 100 days in an empty concrete building – and all purchases carry a 1000x markup, subtracted from the prize winning pot. The building is 8 stories tall and they earn money as time passes, but also must spend it to survive. Starring Ryu Jun-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jeong-min, Lee Yul-eum, Park Hae-joon, Lee Zoo-young, Moon Jeong-hee, and Bae Seong-woo as the contestants. This looks crazy!
