tbh i think you should watch s1 because without it s2 wouldn't be as impactful. but if you dont want to rewatch ;-; there's a lot of emotion and impact from s1 which is why i appreciate it so much. at least watch last ep of s1!

let us know!!! hopefully you got to catch up. if you wait until this weekend tho it'll be a worthwhile wait tbh

how did u feel abt the ending of s1? my biggest complaint, something i will NEVER forget or forgive, is the way he solves the mystery at the end of s1 (and i rewatched s1 a couple days before the premier.) to me, that showed how they kind of backed themselves into a corner. lazy writing.

comparatively this is less angering but i didnt even think of it that way so thanks for pointing it out lol i think the point of this was to show influence of social media. idk what the point of the Discovery of s1 was tho. no amtter how many times i watch it, i will never like the way they figured it out -___-

it's gr8. if u know u know ;)

another: this is just the abstract https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1756061618301782?via%3Dihub i think i can get access to it so if i can i will update

also this season is based off of a case of a minister of justice being pushed out in 54 days by right wing prosecution after being appointed by pres. moon to reform prosecutory rule. fascinating stuff

ty for the link! will try and read. id on't trust either or believe in either but given that it is in the constitution from may 16 that prosecutors are supreme basically was an insane revelation. ironically it differs so much from the US even though the US are a huge influence. i never knew how different it could be from here (US) but my main issue with the politics of it all seems to boil down to all of them being pretty shitty, so it doesn't matter who is in control of what. but that type of power is...it's pretty nuts. thank you for the ranking thing. i am having a hard time understanding the police's roles as well if any1 can give insight (i do NOT understand the national police agency or the police school. i know it has to do with classism just like prosecution but im soo confused. also they mention the autonomous police and it's so so sos so confusing to meeee)

talking w/ a friend and hsm really does look lost and sad. but he left after an insanely traumatic event and deaths of two people; one who influenced and changed his life forever. he also had that breakdown and his emotions came more to the forefront. then was moved away from any familiarity, hda the PM case (which i hope we will get more insight on), and then comes back to a place after being jerked around. he is a knife that's used to pierce a skin and be put away. it's only natural. on the other hand, when he's with people he's familiar with he can be more emotive—asking about her drawings is a huge step.

rewatching the differences between s1 and s2 become more and more clear in a good way. there's a maturity in every sense of the word. the physically aging, passage of time, societal issues in SK and globally. the world isn't stagnant nor should it be. they weren't frozen in time, they were living whole lives without us. emotionally i think the kang won chul convo is hard-hitting and what happens after, what kwc does for him is a turning point (just rewatched)

"I’ve been reading about the current President in South Korea. When he was elected, he promised to reform the prosecution and to make a fairer and more equitable Korea so that everyone had a chance. He appointed Cho kuk, a progressive with a history of defending human rights, to the Ministry of Justice. The prosecution brought the new Minister down in something like 54 days, accusing him of corruption and his wife and family of academic fraud. They destroyed his reputation. Books are being written about it. It does seem as if the Minister was guilty of using his power and influence for his own benefit, but nowhere near as much as the right wing elements in Korea maintained, but I think the jury is still out. It depends who you read. The good intentions of the President were totally sabotaged by the prosecution and those in power who had something to lose. People demonstrated for weeks in the streets both for and against him. The new Minister of Justice is busy getting rid of those who defended the prosecution, but the key person is said to be in the running to be the next President of Korea. This is what FOS2 is based on. It’s a story that must be told and it’s a bit depressing. Your question, “is there a side besides the one of people?” is the one that should be asked again and again, even if it feels you are shouting into the abyss." https://www.dramabeans.com/members/boughtabride/activity/1124123/#acomment-1124142

thank you so much! helps me feel less silly, truly. i will try my best to be more concise. and i am glad u liked the paper! another thing i learned from the person who linked the paper, gonna c/p what she said:

wow that's a really difficult time for people! sorry it's so late over there. that's def like...well companies know the times thatll really mess w/ ratings. sucks cos yall like it a lot

;---; i thought so after the end of ep 6, when i wasnt feelin it as much as others but i was surprised she said what she did. ty for your answer, i think when i have more mental space i'll try again! hope it's been an interesting ride

rewatching e5-6 cos i have to cos im dumb and i really desperately want them back together again lmao so please next week onward we see them w/ each other all the time i love everything else and think it's necessary but i am DYING

i stopped for a while though i finished ep 6. i didnt plan to come back and if i did not until it is over but how have the char. developments been since ep6? i was one of those who cares the most about cha ji won and nothing abt their marriage so i'm curious about her. but it's going to be delayed bc of covid? i would rather them be safe anyway but i hope the script is finalized so they can go back and wrap it up in consistence. really sucks that this is happening

at 11 ???? what??? in the US news starts then. that's os late lol

i would love to discuss this more but tbh i think the editing is one of the weakest things in the show. this season it got much better in the moments it needed it the most. there's some things i honestly would never keep. the bathroom scenes at the station in Segok shocked me bc they were so well done. i usually skip the knife parts in s1. there's also this particular sound they use when the passage of time is denoted, and it's very good, but i would really hate those scenes as i thought they would go on too long. i think this just shows a huge part of preference. as an editor, my preference for these decisions are much preferred. i feel like it's just way more refined but idk, im going to go back to the scenes u mentioned. i think it seems more refined to me bc the show is a lot broader than theway others may view it and that's why i prefer it. idk. anyway not many ppl comment on editing here and it's the most important thing

this is the onyl ep i havent rewatched. i forgot about this part. holy shit theyre so wonderful. remember when he asked her to stop :( AUGH

there's some things i've noticed about discussions on here which can make it very un-user friendly (but i am glad that it isn't censored, sincerely, bc that would make it worse)
- people cannot handle disagreements or discord and if it comes up you're overreacting for replying like a normal adult OR a fascist
- long comment on discussion board = bad. i guess MDL locks the scrolling ability. and so long comment not working bc my brain?
- if you do not agree on a well-loved show and say one thing off people freak out, but if a well loved show has a second season out and you want to talk about the merits (and downfalls!) of comparison when people bring it up then that is gatekeeping (source: google.com)
- discussion = constant agreement, no differentiating feelings, no new ideas to introduce (did i mention long comment = bad or a script which. therefore to moderate commenting on how long a comment is bc it's too long with nothing to say about the comment adds to conversation! too long also = stupid automatically—so don't read it or skim)
- discussion only good if you jump through the hoops of all of these (which one can't manage so at one point or another you are bound to piss someone off)
- people who think they are nice and flexible are really not at all

maybe i should treat this like youtube comments now lmao but ty for the ppl that interact and talk and share good ideas ^__^

you do not know what gatekeeping is. also you're wrong the mistake is this convo have a great day sweetie and god bless you!

bc i have some learning problems and adhd it takes me a while to absorb which gives me anxiety as an artist. i have to rewatch a lot and sometimes get transcriptts bc the information doesn't go to my brain well all the time. so i end up seeing it a lot and having more info on hand (which people seem to really be rude about on here) i've seen s1 a lot bc i couldn't understand so much of it and i now rewatch s2 eps a lot and i take notes (lmao) it's so fresh in my mind that the connections seem obvious the third time around. i personally think a lot of why some of us like it is cos we enjoy the dialogue too ! the intricacy is really great so i'm glad you can say what we are thinking in a short manner lol. everyone has their own thing goin' on in fos2

go watch s1!! also she is very talented, charming, and hot lmao

have you seen ep 5-6? what did u think~
