The story, without the spoilers.
Eight people drowning in debt accept a mysterious invitation: live in an eight-storey building, follow the rules, and earn money for every minute you stay. The catch is in the floors. The person on the eighth floor earns far more than the person on the first, and the building's shared money must cover everyone's food, water and comfort. What begins as a strange social experiment becomes a brutal study of greed, as the rich floors buy luxuries while the poor floors go hungry, and the clock keeps ticking. Alliances form, betrayals follow, and the show's dark humour never lets you forget that this is a game about real life, where the gap between rich and poor is the whole point. Based on Bae Jin-soo's webtoon Money Game and directed by Han Jae-rim, The 8 Show premiered on Netflix on May 17, 2024, in eight episodes. It is tense, funny and uncomfortable in the best way.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
