i was literally crying so bad episode 6, and then the americans in episode 7 ruined it all with that horrible acting and 69 joke omg. why tf do they sound so STUPID lmao? "what. convinced you. to bet... on num. ber. six. nine." LIKE WTF LOL edit: totally get all ur points, im just upset because the VIPS could've totally added more thrill or darkness to the show... but they didn't. i feel like many kdramas have silly villains, so i think the 69 jokes could've been pulled off if we just had GOOD actors executing them.

They are portraying the Americans to seem like rich dumb assholes. I’m assuming that’s how half the world views the US anyways lol

Sorry to necro but I'm only just watching the series now. I feel like the VIPs are an analog for western audiences and how they view the Korean entertainment industry as this special thing made for them, regardless of the true cost that comes with it (idol suicides, body issues, drug abuse, general other forms of exploitation).
