Korean Variety Show with Yellow the Progamer - Page 4

It seems like Cha Yuram is very likable; Lee Sang Min and Cha Min Soo seems smitten by her.

Poor Yuram I was rooting so hard for her.. T_T

Kind of disappointed with the women in general While they were talked up as 'scary' or 'intimidating', feels like all they did was follow orders and stick with their team 99% of the time. The men made all the big plays in every episode. They were the extortionists and bribers, leaders and traitors, spies and intel agents, liars and schemers. You could argue about their backgrounds, but even entertainers like Sang-Min and Sungkyu performed very well in every game and entertained us all.

The essence of many of the games was the simplistic rules that could be abused by any alliance of players and turned around by traitors. In a sense, with some notable exceptions, it's more an EQ than IQ game, in contrast with the original Liar Game which was the hero having to struggle alone to unlock the secrets in every game (think Yellow's math card game play). So the women were out-IQ'd and EQ'd.

Not really true. The fixed horse betting game was pretty much set up so that girls would reign supreme over the game due to the fact that they know how to spread rumors pretty well.

The 2nd last game showed the power of girls, she managed to play around with the other guy (I swear I cannot remember his name) by purposely giving him leads and outlasting him on the deathmatch. Was a treat to watch.

Don't know how good they are at that but all of them told the truth other than Eun Ji. Her lie was isolated and discovered when everyone pooled their clues together. Surprisingly she did not even win despite being the only liar - everyone else shared their clues fairly. Perhaps it's even more telling that the other players had already dismissed her as a threat and didn't even care to punish her for lying.

I would have counted it as a big play if she had lied and won as a result, of course. However IIRC she said to the interviewer "I can't trust anyone else, so I have to lie"? In a game where establishing your honesty is the strongest long-term strategy, so others can count on you later on, random petty lying is just looking for trouble.
