Duty after School: Part 2

opinion

For me, the second part of Duty After School is better than the first. I really liked seeing how the students have to help each other to survive, especially since they’re left to fend for themselves. Despite these very difficult moments, they never lost their smiles, which shows their strength and courage. This solidarity between them is truly touching and makes the series even more human.

However, I have to admit that I don’t understand what happened to the second soldier — I really liked him. His absence left me a bit lost, and I wish I had known more about his fate. As for the ending, I find it very powerful and sad, which makes the series truly memorable. It’s precisely because of this ending that I give the series a 9 out of 10.

When I watched the last episodes, I felt very angry and sad to see the characters die. The creator really pushed the emotions to the maximum.

kyoungsoo is an incel

hahahaha u can understand his depth but not justify his actions. If u do the latter, u're crazy. also, it felt like they just have to make him "unlikeable". dude was bullied and I thought that he and the class would be friends in the end. it would be good if it was those science high school students as villains and they are gonna fight those and they're gonna win cuz yeah, mostly the action scenes on the series is about spheres. anyway, the ending kinda felt rush. killing most of the students in class 3-2 was kinda unnecessary (but still makes sense but yeah unnecessary) and then after that having the world to go back normal because wth? they could have escaped all DAT hell and be friends still nd graduate. goodness this is my first time experiencing a k-trauma.

Something that should’ve NEVER happened! Spoilers

Where do I start….

Part 1 was fantastic. It wasn’t totally perfect as there were some mistakes here and there, but overall It's a really good drama.

Part 2 was a mess from beginning to end. Nothing made sense! I had to double-check to see if I was watching the right drama because It felt like a completely different drama. I mean so different that you could honestly watch part 1 as a standalone series. In part 2, There were far too many plotholes, the pacing was weird, and the WHOLE second part felt rushed! I barely felt sad for any of the characters because I was confused. In the end, I was left with so many unanswered questions.

In terms of it being a realistic ending, I guess it all depends on how you look at it. For me, It didn’t give realistic because it was 16 vs 1. They were all better shooters, stronger, braver, and probably smarter than him. So for only 4 to survive doesn’t make sense. I think everyone was stuck on them being teenagers and forgot that they were technically trained soldiers. Trained soldiers who fought spheres, prisoners, and survived on their own. So I feel the minute Young-Soo shot Jang-Soo when he opened that door, they should’ve had their guns aimed and ready. Or even when So-Yeon told everyone what Young-Soo did, they should’ve been at least cautious. The Webtoon ending definitely made a lot more sense.

In my opinion, they should’ve waited to release part 2. Part 1 didn’t even have time to shine before they released part 2, which for some people ruined the whole drama. Now, I know DAS was made 2-3 years ago, so it’s hard to gather all the actors/actresses and reshoot part 2. Especially those who have current dramas or upcoming dramas, but they should've waited to see people’s reactions and go from there. From there, they could’ve either released the already-made part 2 or waited and tried to reshoot part 2. I don’t know about anyone else but I would’ve been fine with them reshooting part 2 and releasing it a year or two later.

Overall I still absolutely love part 1 and will continue to re-watch it. However, Part 2 I will pretend it doesn’t exist. It was alright, definitely traumatizing. I wouldn’t re-watch it.

If one emotion would describe how the end felt, it would be disapointment.

It was good until the episode 9, in the first part, the aliens started to attack the cities, I was asking myself how they could survive or save the other people. In the second part, we saw the had grown up, they were working together and there was a chance they could eliminate most of the creatures. The only problem was in the episode 10, it started to be nonsense, when Gook Yeong Soo started to be strange, just because he wanted to go to the university of Seoul, and from nowhere, he killed one of the students (I don't remember his name :) ) it was okay at first but when he killed the other ones, I felt angry, I was like why did the production do this to the characters, they played well their role and they decided to make them all die, I really don't understand their choice. One other thing that is a disappointment is the lack of logic in the plot, in the second part, we don't know where is Kim Won Bin, he disapeared and we don't see him again, after the prison scene, we don't see a single alien, if we make a conclusion, Gook Yeong Soo killed more people of the group in a few hours than all the aliens in the whole serie, Gook Yeong Soo did in one episode what the aliens tried and didn't acheve to do in the whole serie. Also after almost everyone was killed in the group, two month later, we learn that a weapon was invented, that almost all the creatures are dead and that everything is back to normal, just like if everyone was killed for nothing. One last thing is the music, in the whole serie there is the same music and the put it at the end also, in the last episode, I think it souldn't be in the last episode.
In conclusion, you can watch the serie if you want but you will be disappointed by the last episode even thought it is a good serie in global.

Sometimes stories don’t get a happy ending.
The ending of this series was emotional, and it was honestly close to bringing me to tears. It’s one of those endings that stays with you for a while and makes you think about everything the characters went through.

HONEY, THIS WAS NOT LOVELY AT ALL

I just want to say, this is entirely my opinion of this series.

Watching the first part of this series, you would think that they would all survive at the end. THINK AGAIN. What even was that ending? Like i'm a bit confused, did they die or not? Is the graduation like an alternate ending?

Episode 7 to 9 was okay and enjoyable, but once it got to episode 10, it was like you could tell something was gonna happen. Honestly, I found it weird there were less sphere creatures in this part of the series than in part 1. It seemed that the problem here in part 2 is that the awaited happy ending, the arrival of some kind of ending I was hoping for, did not happen.

In the first part of the series, it seemed like the ending the studio or producers were going for was the happy ending - but then it got to this part of the series and the whole mood changed. I felt like this part of the series made a shift from apocalyptic to pyschological.

After it was revealed that the CSATs were cancelled, the first person who went crazy was Yeong Soo. He started hallucinated and acting weird because the CSATs were cancelled. Then the assualt, I have no words honestly because I felt that scene wasn't neccesarily needed unless to show the fact that he liked her too much. His paranoia was so out of control. He was so paranoid to the point he started killing his classmates. Imagine getting gunned down by someone you thought was your friend and you don't know why.

In the end, we're led to believe that there were actual people still alive during the war who reappear after the war "ends". Honestly, it's ridiculous because they did all that work killing and suviving just to be killed by their paranoid classmate. Even at the end, Chi Yeol still didn't know why Yeong Soo started killing everyone.

The singing scene at the end was nice, I think all the comedic moments throught the series was fun to watch.

Overall I would not recommend watching part 2 of this series if you're expecting a happy ending.

Such a Disappointment

This part 2 had so much potential and all it needed to do was to follow in part 1's footsteps. I'm pretty sure that we all loved the aliens' CGI, the way the students interacted with each other and with the soldiers and how they were trying to survive and find out what was behind the invasion and how to stop it. Well, part 2 took all of it from us.

It started after a timeskip (why?!) and all the students suddenly were miraculously good shooters, not afraid of the aliens anymore, not even the bigger ones. It was set in winter, yet the fact that the aliens could be killed by cold was simply glossed over by the fact that they somehow adapted to it. Won Bin was gone and absolutely no-one mentioned him even ONCE in the whole drama. We all should have probably stopped watching right after this, because it was clear that part 2 was beginning to steer in a totally different direction.

Instead of a sci-fi thriller, we got a psychological drama. Only a few aliens appeared, and they were mostly just talked about. We didn't learn anything new about them. At the end, it was explained that the army made some super deux ex machina weapon that killed 99% of the spheres. That was so cheap and still left us with so many unaswered questions. But not as cheap as one of the students going mad and killing almost all of his classmates. It was like the part 2 was an entirely different drama.

My final rating is 6.5/10, just because the actors did a wonderful job and the post-credit scene made it a little bit better.

Sad but makes sense

Honestly feel like the whole story was well written even with the tragedy at the end. It feels very realistic because they are kids, even if they were pushed into war and grew up, you can't deny that they are still teenagers. So as annoying as all the whining and fighting was, it makes sense. Adults would be just the same, maybe even worse, we saw that during covid. As much as part 2 sucked for my heart I liked that it all ties together, realistically how likely were they all to survive. What really stuck was the ending where CSAT was "back to normal" with the protesters outside and students still taking exams with barely an explanation. That is the most real thing because as much as the adults say they care how the system is, they won't do anything about it. This entire show portrays the failure the adults are to kids, putting them in a war and convincing them that it was normal and proceeding to allow them to continue whilst holding the biggest exam in their lives like a reward in front of them as if they couldn't just die any moment.

I dont just get that ending

I dont even know what to say. If im mean please i am sorry but the ending was shit. How will that guy just kill everybody. At least if they wanted to end the film quickly they could have made the spheres kill tyem not that guy. And whats this na, after all the whole drama on spheres and everything, tye endjng was suppose to be action and good, but i was shocked to see everyone killed by the guy, at first i thought maybe they will survive but what was that na, they died. And what was the thing they should in the ending abiut, when they should all of them in the class.
Aaah
The ending was a total trash
That was the worst ending i have ever seen
The film was aaaahhhh

A perfect continuation of the first part .

I really enjoyed this second part, despite what many say, I don't think it was bad or pointless. The "bad" ending that many people talk about was actually a somewhat realistic one, considering they had never been through anything like it before, so the probability of them dying was high, even though it wasn't exactly solely the creatures "fault," that situation would have driven anyone crazy. Yeoungsoo is one of the worst characters in school dramas I've ever seen. Everyone there was at their limit with that situation, but he decided to kill his classmate and hide his body and to commit harassment against his classmate and destroy the entire class
For me, the point that was quite positive was seeing them stronger at the beginning of the second part

Why?!

I really don't know what happend but this was extremely bad. Adding "cool" factor and infantile behavior of characters ruined whole atmosphere that part 1 builded.
As i don't want to spoil too much so let this make short.:
-whole prison arc was stupid and just killed lot of time as nobody would done this in such stupid way

-all things about radio was also so stupid and infantile as you don't really need to have military radio as civilian will do the work in emergency and just don't say you can't find single working radio in whole city

-everything from park scene was re**rded - i know they needed/wanted to end it in unexpected way but it was extremely infantile and somehow expected

I will not say to not watch it but be aware - its bad, really bad...
