How much of the novel does the drama cover now that Season 1 has ended? (No spoilers please)
I was wondering if anyone who's familiar with the novel can give me a rough idea of how much of the story has been covered so far - as in what percentage of the full novel has been adapted? or up to around which chapter count (without saying what happens, obviously)?
Please no spoilers — just a general sense if there will be more seasons or not.
Appreciate any feedback from novel readers who can give a spoiler-free comparison.
To avoid confusion by looking at the number of episodes, this season is about: Top 3 teams from Season 1 face Top 3 teams from Season 2 (preliminaries) to become the Season 2 Champions.
Was expecting it to lose its charm starting from 75% of the show's episodes count (as is customary in kdramas), but it seems now the decline has started from the 4th episode itself. But, still looking forward to the rest of the episodes.
Also, not complaining but, the whole introduction of the main character is ripped scene by scene from Hot Fuzz movie.
Awesome show, especially at the beginning. But, cheap rage bait started by epiaode 6 or 7, continued with that son's imprisonment episode. Turned into soap opera.
I am convinced now that korean writers do run out of ideas at around 70% of the show's episodes/total-runtime, because almost all of the kdramas that I have watched so far just derails as the ending episodes approach. The kdrama writers lack consistency and do not know how to write a good ending and wrap up good dramas.
ME TOOI hope Netflix doesn't mess it upSomehow majority of the J-dramas made by these streaming services are subpar…
Sorry for spoiling Gannibal for you. Atleast enjoy it till its good or just make up your own mind after watching the whole season, no need to base anything on my opinion alone.

I liked Gannibal, until last 2 episodes; where the writers/director just kind of lost the vibe and plot of the show and for what..? Just to extend the storyline for Season 2.
Sometimes, some good (great?) shows deserves to have a good story telling limited to one season, instead of milking it to multiple seasons.
Oo so many comments in this guy's favour. Maybe drug charges (self-use) should not be this harsh.
Weird thing to ask, but, does anyone know what punishment/sentencing/prison-time would have been given to a normal citizen, if the crime(s) were to be the same? Does his being a celeb or his ability to hire top lawyers had the charges reduced? Just wondering..
I don't get why that bully girl burned down that building towards the end....? That scene was repeated so many…
Yep, the whole ending for the main antagonist was built/hyped up with that arson scene.
I have noticed one thing in almost all the korean dramas that I have watched, is that the writers always either completely mess up the ending or it just fizzles out (not living up to the hype generated in the story so far). This brilliant storytelling did not deserve such a sloppy ending.
That seemed to be the only thing wrong with this show for me.
Don't watch this. Suspect is already in front of them. Very annoying.
Agreed.
First and probably the second case were interesting enough, and also the ending episode one. But, the main plot was just too stupid and predictable, and just plain boring.

And, it seems like from the reviews (not the absurd 9 or 10 rated ones) and comments, I would probably skip it altogether.
