Curious why this episode is so low rated
This was the best episode by far. The investigation was very chilling... yeah no new games... but why went backstage... the plot developed way further... and there was so much going on... I can agree if any other one wouldn't rate this a 10... but 7 average score sounds a bit underappreciated... even the Cliffhanger got me headscratching... the police guy was the one reason that fully pulled me into this... and I think the mystery aspects of this show are one of the best I have watched in recent years...

The most important thing: Equality
This episode might be labelled as slow or even boring just because it doesn't have a game, which understandably can't be done every episode.
But if you look past that, you will find an episode that is very far from slow or boring. The tension is felt perhaps more than ever. Because instead of the insane massacre we are used to, the stakes are far more personal and intimate. Every life is given more value because we have known the characters for a longer period of time.
Insane episode that keeps the things I love about the show.

Tense, tense, tense moments
The show continue and we witnessed a lot of things : the winner of the game, the doctor who have some privilege moments, the detective who want to discover the truth about his brother, bad memories about the principal character, some friendship, love broken. And the patience to know what is the next game. The detective's investigations are very interesting to follow and we know more about his brother in this episode. I clearly enjoyed it.

The second half of the series starts to set up future revelations
After a wild resolution from previous episode cliffhanger, the pacing slowes down to take a good look at the characters and their stories, as well the corrupted spirit of some of them involving activities kept in the dark to the masked man. Really good entry.

Exciting!
Loved the episode! Completely exciting and thrilling. The story revolves around it.
I like the example of equality. They have no mercy on anyone. Those who have broken the rules have been killed. Either this is a player or a worker.

Was good, but could have used a game
This was a good episode, but a lot of it was pretty boring. Yes, this was important for the series, and it was crucial to the plot, but still, it could have been a lot better.
The most forgettable but one of the most important

Building up the tension
This episode is weaker than the rest of episodes but still it's a great one. We can feel the tension building up and it looks like there will be some serious twists later. Can't wait!

Different
"A fair world" feels different from the previous episodes in the way that it isn't about the players but the guards and their dealings. The plot focuses on how the guard exploit dead bodies inorder to make a quick buck for themselves. Jun-ho the infiltrator disguise as a guard goes further in his quest inorder to uncover the secret of the shadowy organization. I like how we are learning about the game through Jun-ho POV, what he knows, we know too. Overall, a good episode which expands on the world that is already established and moves the plot forward.
Good
This episode has some awesome camera shots. The whole episodes furthers the plot of the police inside the games.

I'm Starting To Enjoy It More, But The Further The Story Goes, The More OBVIOUS It Is A BLATANT RIP-OFF of Animal World!
Unenjoyable dark scenes
Horrible episode. Wish I could see anything but apparently the director thought its a good idea to shoot a whole episode in the dark. Congrats.
