Can NCT 127 make it out alive?
The Feel-Good Part
The feel-good parts are the funny jokes and the light-hearted environment set by the boys, completely contrasting with the actual mysterious theme. The coordination among the members is amazing. Watching how quickly they can solve the mystery is fascinating, and their keen observation is surprising. Haechan is the quickest to solve the clues, while Daeyoung is smart and organized. The goofiness of the members, even under pressure, is hilarious.
The production team also did a great job with the amazing drone shots and setting the challenges.
The Disappointing Factor
The only saddening aspect is that the show is scripted, which is why some moments may seem cringe to the watchers. Sometimes, the clues are way too obvious but overall it is a great show.
