The battle of wits between 18 players who fell into the survival war has been captured and is drawing attention.

On November 15th (Friday), Wave Original‘s ‘Blood Game Season 3’ (directed by Hyun Jung-wan, Jeon Chae-young, produced by Most267, hereinafter referred to as ‘Blood Game 3’) has released advance stills containing scenes of actual players playing the game, increasing expectations for the survival all-star match.

‘Blood Game 3’ is a survival intelligence survival match where survival legends and rookies fight to decide whether to protect or steal. Survival legends Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, Kim Kyung-ran, Lim Hyeon-seo, Seo Chul-goo, MJ Kim, Yoo Ri-sa, Joo Eon-gyu and unpredictable rookies Pani Bottle, Chungju Man, Crocodile, Choi Hye-seon, Heo Seong-beom, Kim Min-a, Lee Ji-na, Kim Young-kwang, Si-yoon, and Steve Ye are gathering attention with their full presence in ‘Blood Game 3’.

While attention is focused on which of them will be the last one standing in the survival all-star match, the still cuts showing the serious faces of the players each taking on the challenge in their own ways are adding to the excitement. In particular, the fierce gazes of Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, and Kim Kyung-ran, who have previously faced each other in the ‘The Genius’ series, make us even more curious about their revenge match.

The players’ hostile gazes at each other also create an ominous atmosphere. They are increasing the tension by not only secretly infiltrating to find out information about their opponents, but also by challenging spying, without regard for means and methods.

In addition, the cooperative relationship between the players who put their heads together to plan the operation is also noteworthy. MJ Kim and Heo Sung-beom, who formed a team centered around Jang Dong-min, Lim Hyun-seo and Steve Ye who talk with a serious attitude, and Joo Eon-gyu and Choi Hye-seon who secretly share their thoughts, are expected to actively perform as the underdogs of survival by going back and forth between alliances and betrayals, providing thrilling reversals at every moment.

In this way, ‘Blood Game 3’ is warming up the survival instincts of viewers through advance stills before starting the full-scale game. With a variety of play styles including individual play, team battles, and neutrality that doesn‘t belong to any team, it stimulates the desire to guess who will survive until the end.

Wave Original ‘Blood Game Season 3’, where 18 players with real poison will fight fiercely, will be released for the first time on the 15th (Friday).
