NO NEED FOR S3

PLOT

I still don't understand the decision over a s3. Was it to show a university environment? If so it wasn't needed at all. The plot is the same. Again with a love triangle where clearly the main female character isn't interested romantically to someone else except her bf/ex bf.

I feel sad over Hyun Ho that was constantly choosing her and his only motive for his life was her. He was let down from every adult around him and criticized when he literally tried his best to change academically. So he based his willingness on one person. About Yeon Doo I'm glad she matured enough to deal on her own with unfair ppl. Although she needs to work on expressing what's bothering her on the relationship.

SIDE COUPLES

Everything was predictable. Sorry to say that but I couldn't feel the chemistry between the side couples. I think that they could invest more to the side stories by showing more intimacy between them characters. Being friends with others their affection was way better. They were a good group of friends.

I need a S3!

PLOT

It may not be as strong as the first season, but still pretty amazing. The length of each season is ideal based on the ep duration. The plot is interesting. The progress and maturing between co workers relationships it's so obvious. The pushing aside their ego to support a reason and give justice to the unfair system is such a strong connection. All the bullying environment is so emotional and sad, that I was questioning myself "what would've I done if I had witnessed anything disturbing with my eyes".

ACTING

The whole crew is so good. But I have to point out Jung Hae In's performance. His serious face and the ability to play an action drama except of romance proves how he can adapt completely to each occasion. Also his bro chemistry with Koo Kyo Hwan was outstanding. Wish I see more of them together in the future.

S3?

Based on our main character, he has one more year till his dismissal from the army. As he said, the story just started, so I hope that they will continue it and show more internal fights of contrasting army's ignorance and avoidance of taking responsibility.

Aspects for S2

ACTING

I've no complains over the acting of the whole crew. They succeeded to pass the feelings correctly and hold the emotionless mask during the action. I was surprised by the acting of Nam Joo Hyuk, cause I just had completed watching him on Weightlifting Lifting Fairy which was a romcom. So the change of a romance to an action drama was in an insanely correct order. The fighting scenes were good. No guns were used, just raw hands or small equipment which made the fight even more intense. The music was so so good. Especially the ending themes.

PLOT

It was interesting to watch a drama based on this big philosophical question that bothers the human society. The feelings are so loud that you can't choose objectively which side to take as a viewer. The scenes were well adapted by the camera. The quality was pretty good. Ofc many things are unrealistic. The whole story telling would've stopped way sooner irl. Its so sad that the innocent are always the victim in any case. Tbh, it got a little tiring while approaching the end. Although, bc of the ep legth, its still manageable and worth watching.


PERSONAL THOUGHTS

I have to admit that even though I don't agree with that kind of life concept, taking the law in our hands, this show was so worth it. The feeling of the constant rage over the unfair laws that rule our countries/world is so real. The dirt that covers our society is invisible when its right in front of us. But taking this decision, committing crimes to deal with a small amount of criminals, will it change something or just promote that taking the law in our hands to solve the unfairness is correct when it's the opposite?

Repeated mindset of plot, not that unique

After watching Squid game, Alice in borderland and the movies Parasite and The platform (and other disturbing things) this show didn't excite me at all. It just depicted the brutality of the human kind under extreme conditions ruled by the power of money and "your death my life mindset" again with a similar concept. As tbh though if I haven't watched previous similar shows/movies I would've been more shocked with everything I saw and perhaps rate it more. The more you watch stuff like that the less you get truly shocked to the point of never completing them.

PLOT:

Most of the time I could predict the next move. I'm not minimizing the actors skills at all. They all made me feel mostly the anger of all scenes. The physical strength matters a lot as well and for a good amount of times is more powerful than the cleverness. What I got in the end is that we all were the audience and we all somehow were adding them more time on that "cage" bc of our curiosity of what's gonna happen next. So, if we all stopped watching the show from the first time a cruel thing happened then their time was over and they were free. Concluding, we as the watchers of the show somehow supported all their actions till the dramatic end. We wanted to help, we knew the answer of helping them and didn't choose it.

ABNORMALITIES:

How is it possible for them to be beaten that hardly and not have a concussion, an internal bleeding, a severely broken part i wont understand it. Its out of reality and dont tell me that the lady that was a nurse treated them correctly bc shes just A NURSE that the only do BASIC TREATMENT. This whole thing is unrealistic and cant accept it.

Too confusing with almost zero infos

All I can say is that I'm too confused with everything. I tried to understand what happened in the past. Cha Soo Hyuk's father was abusive to his mother and on the first chance he took her away to hide her? Then his mother found another man and that man had a son, Lee Yoon Dae, and they lived all together for some time but then they ended things between them? And why did the son not follow his father? We get no detail over Lee Yoon Dae past life. As it seems he felt Cha Soo Hyuk as his new family, his home, his safe space. That's why he was coming back. And Cha Soo Hyuk was always worried and tried to support him in each way. While he himself trapped in a mindset of "i have to take care of my broken family" when none of these should've been his concerns. And in the end what was that? What I got is that Lee Yoon Dae finally stood on his own feet to prove that he's worthy of Cha Soo Hyuk's time and feelings. That he found his way of living and faced real life without standing still anymore.

The plot was quite interesting. It was adorable. It had the chance to be longer. I feel like it came to a closure a little quick in the last eps. I didnt like the time skips to random scenes so much. I could've preferred to see more of their relationship progress. How they came to the conclusion of being together. And how the other character unlocked eventually emotionally his self and felt at ease and comfortable to show his affection. At least to watch some more steps of the character development and the establishment of the love part. I didn't mind of getting no kiss scene. I won't lie though, ofc i wouldn't complain if there was one. Overall i enjoyed it a lot.
