Alice In The Borderland Review: Japanese Drama
Screenplays of the web series are better than in season 1. The story is also better from season 1 if compared to 2 which does not usually happen. The development of the characters is pretty good from season 1.
The performances of the actors like Kento Yamazaki as Ryohei Arisu has played well in his role where he becomes a different person in season 2, is desperate to return home like others which you would give sympathy to him.
Yuzuha Usagi, played by Tao Tsuchiya, is also well-portrayed in her character as someone who wants to return to her world. The other supporting characters show their own characters well.
The setting of the parallel world was ruthless and destructive where people of the parallel world are emotionless and psychopathic. The world is the bosses who have no mercy for anyone either the player or citizen of the world.
The ending of the series left a cliffhanger where many questions which were left in your mind would be answered in season 3 which will depend on the success of season 2.
The review for this Japanese drama web series is a binge-watch if you are a fan of science fiction you are definitely gonna love Alice In Borderland Season 2.
