The story here has not much substance, however editing and humor make up for it.
Maybe it's because I'm not a gamer, I find movies, or series about gaming utterly boring. But here, the game was just a false (sic!) pretense to explore something else.
At first I had strong Arthur C. Clarke's vibes - with the world coming to an end and humanity not being able to stop it. But then it got weird.
This episode dealt with and A.I. and its integration with a human brain. But in fact, it dealt with loneliness.
The year is 2046, and the ghost of Wong Kar-wai is hovering over this little story.
I really liked this episode. And Lee Donghwi starring it it has absolutely nothing to do with it. I am a professional.
Finally, a sci-fi show to watch.
According to Asianwiki:
8 film directors participated in "SF8," with each person directing a 1 episode TV special. The genre of the specials deals with science fiction, including AI, AR (augmented reality), VR, and robot games.
Which reminds me a bit of Black Mirror series. Now, as I'm one of two people I know who don't sing sky high praises of BM, I hoped it would be sci-fi but with a Korean twist that is giving the characters some emotions and thus - making us care about them.
