Cloudya Jan 22 2023 8:50 pm This drama is amazinggg!!! Kang Ha neul's acting ???

Madao Dec 08 2022 11:14 pm I love the show a lot. It was like watching games of throne. Everyone was looking out for their best interest and with the MC tried his best not to look out for his best interest but he still does it to a far extent. This show is a solid 8. And with how it ended... It definitely deserve a season 2. I would love a season 2. Sadly the chance is slim cause the women is Fan Bing Bing. But aye I could dream too and I hope they another show like this... it was just straight battle of wits to see who can out maneuver who first etc.

Mna Oct 28 2022 3:13 pm Lee yoo young doesn't need fit in this drama and I don't know what her motive is.

Joker1204 Oct 19 2022 9:33 am Insider! Wow I have been watching Korean drama but insider is differ from different

Karen Oct 08 2022 2:49 am Been watching this series many times and hoping for its part 2. Wishing to watch Jang Sun Oh and Kim Yo Han again as a team since they look great being brothers in this drama. Insider part 2 come fast!!

Karen G. Oct 06 2022 2:24 am i hope there is a continuation of this drama. all the cast are amazing in their acting skills. great drama, love to watch more of this series. I will be waiting!

noi Sep 27 2022 8:32 pm please come to netflix pleaseeeeee i want to watch this

Marins Aug 23 2022 8:01 pm It was such a great kdrama, with a really interesting plot and all the characters were portrayed in a perfect way by the actors. Personally, I'd love if this series had a season 2, simply because there are still many questions left to be anwered and many mysteries to be unfolded about the future and the present of all the characters. This show has so much potential and it could definetely make its way with a second season. It was absolutely mesmerizing and as a series watcher of years and especially kdramas (I've watched over 80 kdramas), I stronlgly believe in the power of its plot and how attached the acting and the storytelling make the viewer. The impact of this show is surely imprinted on me and other viewers as well. Hoping to a season 2 for more mysteries and outstanding performances. Congrats to the director, the actors and the whole crew that made this work till the end without any mistakes. Wishing for anyone who reads this to be motivated to watch the show which I stronly recommend! Thanks for your time! Lots of love <3

hellen Aug 03 2022 11:44 pm Very interest, sometimes violent but I am kind of dark genre girl. U should watch one of the best of 2022

Amanda M. Jul 31 2022 11:03 am I liked the drama. I give it 9/10. Writing is very ambitious and story is non-linear (e.g. the films Memento and 21 Grams). It also has editing problems, IMO. The show has a lot of graphic violence in the beginning and maybe slow-paced to some because of the card games. However, I loved it for the story line and acting. Kang Ha-neul and Lee You-young are magnificent. I liked LYY acting here, subtle but effective. KHN proves he's quite a talent (the show has no romance, may be disappointing to some). It has a phenomenal supporting cast: actors from Stranger, Beyond Evil, When the Camellia Blooms, Squid Game, etc. Please watch it so we can have a Season 2!

Maria Jul 29 2022 3:56 am Great drama... Kang Ha Neul becoming more and more mature his acting.

5_ooo Jul 28 2022 5:45 pm i really want there to be a s2 but i doubt it ): ugh.. anyways! this drama is literally a work of Art. this is a must to watch if you like action/crime/law type of kdramas... all the actors are superb.. music, lighting- literally everything is just perfect... this is the type of crime/action drama i have been craving for Years since i have started to religiously watch kdramas Lmaoo also heo sung tae's acting is just magnificent.. and kang ha neul's.. and kang young seok's... Ahd choi dae hoon's.. And And lee yoo young's..... omg too many.. so many... great.. actors.. Yeah Watch This

5_ooo Jul 28 2022 5:39 pm !!! SPOILERS !!!

@BOO , if yanghwa was dead there would have been no witness/someone to testify about yoon byungwooks crimes.

thats why yohan listed to seunghwan when he was dying to try and save yangjoon in order to get yanghwa on his side.

in the end yanghwa spilled everything about byungwook bc in the end yohan tries to save his brother yangjoon. i also think yangjoon told smth to yanghwa before he died but we dont know what, so.. in the end yanghwa sides with yohan bc what else can he lose.. hes lost his brother who is literally this mans whole life.. so ya..

Queen CR Jul 28 2022 2:46 pm I thought it's gonna be 20 episodes. So, they gonna have season 2 right!!!!

lili Jul 28 2022 9:07 am good acting and all expressions on point..Just A Warning!! Parents this drama contents hardcore violence. Please be guided accordingly

B00 Jul 27 2022 10:10 pm Okay I thought Kim Yo-Han wanted Yang Hwa dead? why he try to save Chairman Yang Joon. I must of missed some parts how did Hong Jae-Sun get on Kim Yo-Han side? I thought they were all against him?

Dr M Jul 26 2022 1:24 am Kang Na Neul is one of the most versatile actors. He is the cutest. To be honest I have not seen anyone looking so cute with that hairstyle. The plot of Insider is so interesting and kept me hooked till the very end. All the actors have done a brilliant job especially Kang Na Neul.

Heie Jul 24 2022 2:30 pm What the heck, this story line is so hard to follow! It is so confusing too… too complicated and give up

Norah Jones Jul 23 2022 4:47 am The first 4 episode is really great.. made me want to watch this drama.. but after that it become really boring and the story line become messy.. the plot really confusing.. not well directed.. sorry.. really mess..

Michael Lu Jul 22 2022 4:18 pm Fan Bingbing best part of this show! Otherwise, I agree with the last commenter. This show is so convoluted. I know the cast is trying their best but sometimes the writing really drags down the overall performance.

James Lee Jul 22 2022 12:05 pm Such an excellent cast but such a dull drama. Fourteen episodes in and it's so mind numbingly boring. What a waste of talent.

Locco Jul 21 2022 9:26 pm @Typical007 this kind of prisons exist in Indonesia haha...prisoners and guards also sell drugs inside prison...if you bribe the guard, the prisoners can freely go out eat at restaurant haha...

ChoiMinho Jul 16 2022 3:22 pm Love love this show. Was already a fan of Lee Yoo Young. And after watching Pirate became a fan of Kang Ha Neul. And now became a fan of Kang Young Seok and Heo Dong Won. ???

Camellia Jul 16 2022 12:15 pm Kang Young Seok deserved an award for his acting.... He stole my heart! Oppa Fighting!

Sam Jul 14 2022 11:31 am Love Kang Ha-Neul, great, great acting! The reason I continue to watch although the plot is hard to follow at times...

bonbon Jul 12 2022 9:58 pm haist I can't wait the next episode

Ashfall Jul 08 2022 8:45 pm I think jang sun o doesnt really know that he told to be killed was kim yongan grandmother...i hope jang sun o have a team work again with KYH

Vie Jul 01 2022 9:59 am I hope kim yo han will be partner with jang sun o too outside the prison. But if they are indeed enemy, then it will be a huge disappointment to watch..

Marble-ous Jun 30 2022 8:34 pm I really love this series but I can't keep track who's who anymore... especially since most of the scene is taken in the dark. I am confused. But acting and cinematography is S+++ really really good.

Also, I hope Jang Sun-O gets to be in the main spotlight of the story as well because he is adding such a nice and refreshing element to this very dark story.

Baenana Jun 24 2022 9:45 pm kang youngseok such a scene stealer! i love jang sunoh more than kim yohan

AIMEN Jun 24 2022 12:22 pm A Fantastic Drama ...Hats off to the cast

Typical007 Jun 23 2022 7:29 pm What kind of prison is that?! They can gamble, walk freely and do everything they want. Lol

Merlin Jun 23 2022 6:52 pm This has to be the best K-dramma since arthdal chronicles, every single moment was so tensed, episode 6 by far the best episode of the show

Your 112! Jun 23 2022 10:30 am For a drama with this genre, it would be very boring if the storyline and dialogue between the characters were as usual. However, Kang Ha Neul who always acted very well and met Kang Young Seok in the story characters made the drama Insider very interesting to watch, they managed to stand out with their respective roles, a very good collaboration. look natural with the characters they display. I think I'm really looking forward to Kang Young Seok with a role like this, a role that makes Jang Sun O charismatic ^^ and for Kang Ha Neul as usual, it's really amazing!

Thanks to the Director, Writer and Drama Insider Team for choosing the cast so well^^

Kool Jun 19 2022 5:38 am Beyond evil's 2 cast members are there too. I really like the acting of the guy playing jang sun ho, remember that ceo in military doberman who helps female lead? Who could have believed his acting could be so good in this show plus hes good looking too. I wait for his scenes to come n obviously kang ha neul is very awesome as always. The drama is as such its not romance or comedy its mystery,thriller and it can be boring but if it works for you,you wouldnt get bored at all. I believe it's a great show and theres hell lot of hard work gone into it specially in action scenes where kang ha neul takes beating, it's not easy doing those scenes. I hope he stays safe while filming.

May Jun 17 2022 4:50 am I hope so too :)

Loco Jun 16 2022 10:41 am Idk but I find it really boring. The story doesn't look new though kang ha neul really portrait well yohan. I'm really happy for his cb but the story is really frustrating.

1. When in prison it's common that there's a lot of thug that bully you, harm and do things brutal but it's repeatable like how many in episodes? Lol.

2. I'm really fond of lee yoo young because she really did great in "your honor" drama but her character here is really lame. It's sad that she keeps pursuing drama that's not give much story or exposure.

3. At first episode I can sense that if a lot of people interact with the main role means they are the villain/antagonist

4. Insider title doesn't fit well as the scenario and the set is more on "gambling, casino" i really fast forward the episodes because it's really common script.

5. I'm done with 2 episodes. I hope kang ha neul will turn back into light as he's one of my faves.

Fighting!

insider Jun 16 2022 7:52 am what is the title of the song always played in the ending?

Dhang Jun 16 2022 6:58 am Very interesting to watch I remember Kang Ha Neul In Midnight Runner. I will watch it together with my husband till the end of this Kdrama..one of a kind action drama to be watched for?

Offsea Jun 12 2022 10:01 pm Hope the rating always rise in every episode.. how he learns to be king of gambler is absolutely outstanding one...

Mobiusforall Jun 12 2022 5:46 pm Great show so far in my own opinion and I like the suspense and thrilling scenes.

k-enthusiast Jun 10 2022 1:07 am @claudia they are only 1 year age gap

Jinny Jun 08 2022 1:45 pm The start of the Drama was reaaaally good. The whole episode was a bit dragged in my opinion, but never judge a show by it's first episode! I am still excited about the next epsiodes!
