Fukunaga does approach Nao at this time before the first vote session to tell her that what he did was an attempt to save both himself and her. There is exactly one hour between each round of voting.
I guess they don’t care that if she is restructured, what money she has left is NOT enough to save her from taking on a huge debt she cannot afford to pay. Then why is she there when she doesn’t need to be? Knowing Nao is debt-free has everyone else turn their backs on the young woman. Nao is slated to go last and Fukunaga points out when it’s her turn that she presently has no debt because she won money in the last round, right? True. He gets everyone to talk about their debts and how much money they owe. Fukunaga comes over and asks about a game of ice breaker. This is their payback for his betrayal in round two. Only after they are locked in is it revealed the winner gets a special bonus while the loser’s game money is split between the remaining safe players and the debt increases even more.Ĭompared to round two, everyone is calm and relaxed from the start as they all know he is about to be restructured and sent home-Fukunaga. Everyone is given a chance to leave without incurring more debt…of course the LGT offices will immediately send someone to collect the rest of the money they still owe and that’s what keeps anybody from leaving. Since the remaining 8 players cannot afford to pay back their debt, they are there to stay in the game in hopes of finally earning enough money to break free. She arrives at what looks to be an old arcade and meets several other players from the previous round including Mushroom icon of betrayal Fukunaga. Thus Nao is guilted into continuing to the revival game as her goal has now become to save Akiyama. Because Nao is like his mother, that is why he could not refuse her request. After that, Akiyama set out to avenge his mother and that landed him in jail. Akiyama later tried to leave the organization, but that involved paying a huge penalty and her debts spiraled out of control until she kills herself to end the debts and secure her son is able to financially finish school. A friend of hers came to her with a job opportunity that would allow her to work only when she was well enough to do so. He’s a young man studying psychology whose mother became seriously ill. Japanese Drama:Īt the end of the previous game when Nao was freed from her obligation to play, Cop came and revealed Akiyama’s tragic past. And we all know due to the contract they signed when entering the show that means more and more debt. The person with the least amount of starts is restructured, aka laid off. In this game each player is given three stars in each round and again cannot vote for themselves. The difference just comes in how they are allowed to vote. Yes, you can make trades with game money in a special app on the smartphone they provide you and you are penalized if you break the rules of that contract. Like the Japanese drama, yes you can bring whatever personal items you want.
At the end of the game, whoever has the lowest amount of votes will be kicked out and saddled with even more debt. If you do you are disqualified from the game. You are not allowed to write down your own name and you are not allowed to leave any spot blank. Once the trade had been approved, you get penalized if you break the contract in any way.

Everyone was given a checkbook full of coupons they could use to make trades. You could bring whatever personal items you wanted in hopes of trading and bargaining. In this version, anyone who lost in the second round was eligible to participate. In this version of the game, the game is altered a bit, so I’ll explain both versions. Restructuring Round Rules – Japanese Drama This round actually has him being better than Akiyama believe it or not! While a good portion of the drama does focus on the game, the Korean drama shows a lot happening outside of it and that brings a richer meaning and more depth at times. Oh, Woo Jin isn’t horrible to Da Jung, but he’s definitely a lot rougher in his treatments in trying to shove her out of the game. I said in my last post that it seemed like Akiyama was much nicer to Nao than Woo Jin is to Da Jung.

It’s been awhile, but they did not play a President game in the 3rd round of the competition in the Japanese drama and I’m not certain they ever played such a game in the course of the series and movies. This might be the last comparison I can make depending on how the Korean drama version continues.
