so what do they mean by "help him reclaim the innocence of their shared past" so by that they mean something happened…
He is the offspring of a crime boss, so let's just say he's racked up more frequent flyer miles to jail than most people have to their local grocery store.
I understand that this show adheres to the standard format of airing two episodes per week, which is common for network television dramas. However, releasing all episodes at once would significantly benefit dramas like this. This approach contributed to the popularity of Netflix series. For example, the romantic comedy drama "Love to Hate You" wasn't particularly unique, but it received higher ratings and was well-received because all episodes were released simultaneously.
Don't judge a whole drama series based on just the first episode! It's like tasting one weird appetizer and deciding to skip the entire buffet. If the first episode isn't your cup of tea and you're planning to ditch it, don't bother rating it! But if you're the kind of person who sticks with a show to the bitter end, no matter how good or bad it is, save your rating until the final credits roll!
I did an rewatch and let me tell you all why season 2 is better than season 1. In this season, the main character (ML) has been to prison. While the first season also featured a character who went to prison, this time the entire town dislikes the ML and doesn't believe anything he says, especially about the new elder. Additionally, since this organization is newly established, it can be easily taken down. In the first season, dismantling the cult seemed to rely heavily on luck. The cult had the backing of the local government, making it seem impossible for teenagers to take them down.
It's important to note that the cults in the first and second seasons are entirely different. In the first season, the cult wasn't the type to change their identity and location after conning the town; instead, they formed a settlement, which made them very difficult to take down. They were planning on expanding even further with a doomsday theme.
However, in the second season, all the townspeople had to do was listen to Min Chul. They didn't, because they saw him as a crook and ex-convict. Despite the town's hatred for Min Chul and his awareness of their disdain, he realizes the townspeople are naive and ignorant but fundamentally good people being deceived by the elder. Because of this, he tries his best to help them.
Additionally, the ending was, in my opinion, quite satisfying because none of the villains were spared, and the townspeople faced the consequences for not listening to and ridiculing Min Chul. This season is definitely better and deserves higher ratings.
his suicide caught me off guard fr.It was so unexpected from him to do. and the reason behind his depression was…
I see... His suicide surprised me as well—I had the same reaction as the father: "A body? Whose body?" His scenes were always so mysterious that sometimes I felt like I was watching a fantasy drama.
The thought of meeting her mother must have been so overwhelming for him that his brain just, said "Nope, not dealing with that," and decided a brain aneurysm was the only way out. Poor guy. That’s one way to get out of dinner with the in-law.
I have watched the Chinese drama and I liked it, except for the ending...(the ending made the whole drama pointless ...imo) so i hope they change it here.
The live-action adaptation remained true to the source material, and all the actors delivered stellar performances. However, my sole critique of the film lies in the wardrobe choices; they appeared overly pristine and brand new. Given the wartime setting and the characters' exposure to harsh conditions, their clothing seemed too immaculate. For instance, when Sugimoto was attacked by a bear, his attire miraculously remained unscathed, lacking any signs of wear and tear.

I am glad he didn't die.
