The 8 Show plot
Based on the webtoon Money Game and Pie Game by Bae Jin-soo, the story follows eight participants in a game show who has to survive to win a large sum of cash prize. The format of the show, Money Game, that they enter is that the contestants are made to live in an eight-story building that consists of nothing but concrete walls. The eight people have to stay together for a total of 100 days, and if they are able to do so, each of them get a share of the pool prize money worth 44.8 billion.
However, the twist in the game is that every time they spend the cash on essentials such as food, water, and electricity, an amount is deducted from the total winning prize. Moreover, everything inside the studio costs 100 times more than the usual price. The game might seem easier at first but it gets more twisted and sinister as time passes by.
