Ryu Jun Yeol, Chun Woo Hee, Park Jung Min, And More Are Trapped In A Mysterious Place In New Thriller Drama "The 8 Show"

Apr 18, 2024

Netflix original series “The 8 Show” has unveiled exciting stills ahead of its premiere!

Helmed by director Han Jae Rim and based on Bae Jin Soo’s popular webtoon “Money Game” and its sequel “Pie Game,” “The 8 Show” will tell the story of eight individuals who receive an absurd yet tempting invitation from “The 8 Show” while facing financial hardships.

The contestants end up participating in a high-stakes game in which they are placed under extreme circumstances after being cut off from the rest of society. Within the show, eight people must abide by the game’s unique rules while attempting to gather and hold onto as much money as possible before the game ends—which only happens when someone dies.

The newly released stills offer a glimpse into the show’s setting—an eight-story building consisting of a communal lounge area and private rooms for each participant. Although it appears to be a fancy resort at first sight, everything in this place is actually fake. Participants’ uniforms are adorned with drawn-on buttons, belts, and collars, while the pool is nothing more than a simulated reflection without real water.

The stills also capture the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the contestants. In one photo, Moon Jung Hee is seen on the verge of tears alongside Ryu Jun Yeol, while in another photo, participants on the stairs look startled to witness something, hinting at just how harsh the show can be.

Other images also offer a glimpse of the complex relationship dynamics among participants, depicting secret conversations between Ryu Jun Yeol and Park Jung Min, as well as a confrontation between Lee Joo Young and Chun Woo Hee, who has a cold expression on her face.
