Speaking of Hyunho, when he died, I couldn't help but laugh a bit. He totally deserved it for being such a simp and acting all stupid. I get that a lot of people found it sad, but I just didn't feel that way because his death was so avoidable. Like, come on, if he hadn't been so focused on Nahee and instead focused on finding his phone, maybe he'd still be alive.
Kyungjun is a straight-up baddie and honestly, he doesn't deserve any hate for throwing Hyunho's phone. What did Hyunho expect after humiliating Kyungjun just seconds earlier? People get randomly punished for not voting, and they have to find their phones ASAP, Kyungjun wasn't about to let that humiliation slide without seeking revenge.
Dabeom was supposed to be this nerdy guy, right? But man, he acts like he's got zero brain cells! Like in those last episode, he had such a clear shot at winning, but instead of quietly taking care of business, he starts blabbering and blah blah-ing. It's frustrating to watch because there's no Kyungjun or Hyunho type around to stop him with their crazy strength. Even if he sneaks up quietly, he's still in danger. I mean, Dabeom could totally take down Junhee if he approached him stealthily. Junhee might be physically stronger, but that doesn't mean he's had crazy strength like Hyunho or Kyungjun.
Kyungjun and Somi are definitely more interesting than the rest, but they're also way too predictable. They're iconic baddies, though, so they at least bring some spice.
As for the rest of the characters, they just seem to be there to fill up the class. That's probably why they ended up killing a lot of people in the second voting—they're just irrelevant.
Let's talk about Junhee and Yeonsoo hypocrisy because it's just too much to handle. They were all like, "Oh, look…
People like Junhee are the worst. At least with Kyungjun and Somi, you knew what they are. But Junhee? Who knows what he really thinks. If he didn't like Yoonseo, I bet he would've doubted her too. And then he had the nerve to say Dabeom was the worst, when he never even lifted a finger to actually stop the bullying before as a class president.
Thank God Dabeom called Junhee out in Episode 11. When Dabeom was getting bullied by Kyungjun's gang, he didn't show actual concern. Dabeom straight-up asked him what he'd ever done for him, pointing out how Junhee only acts all nice in front of the class. It's like, what have you actually fixed? Calling him more disgusting than Kyungjun and his crew was spot on—hypocrite main characters need a to be called out like that. And in last episodes they always judging Dabeom, saying he's like Kyungjun just because he's trying to survive like the rest of them. Like, seriously? If She and Junhee were in Dabeom's shoes, facing the reality of being the mafia and having to kill others to survive, they'd probably be the first ones to do it. There's no way they'd sacrifice themselves for the citizens. They need to drop the holier-than-thou act and sit down.
Let's talk about Junhee and Yeonsoo hypocrisy because it's just too much to handle. They were all like, "Oh, look at me, I'm so innocent," but they couldn't prove it for squat. Junhee especially—seriously, he was so biased against Yoonseo, and quick to blame others when everyone was just trying to survive, same as him. Remember when he said he wouldn't vote for her even if she was mafia? That moment was a low blow for me. And then both Junhee and Yoonseo trying to save Wooram without any proof of his innocence, while voted Kyungjun the one who actually had pointed out Wooram motives. Yoonseo acted like she was the better person, preaching about not voting for someone you dislike and without evidence, but without any real evidence, she voted Kyungjun just because she wanted to survive. She voted because of Woo Ram's claim that Kyungjun only cared about himself and would throw them under the bus, even though Woo Ram had a big motive to kill Jooyoung. Where's the consistency? Junhee wanted to help Woo Ram and talk to others simply because he was his friend.
Let me tell you, one of the most annoying parts of that show was how their constantly blaming others for simply trying to survive. Of course, everyone is going to defend themselves when their life is on the line. It’s frustrating when shows paint such black-and-white pictures. How citizens were painted innocent and the mafia as the bad guys. Both sides were put in a position where they had to make tough choices – kill or be killed. It's not like anyone chooses to be a mafia member or a citizen; If you want to be a "morally superior," vote for yourself or abstain instead of pointing fingers at others. Both sides were choosing to end someone’s life; the only difference was the method. Citizens didn’t need have blood on their hands directly, but morally, they were no better than the mafia.
Junhee's treatment of Somi—way too harsh. I actually felt bad for her when she got exposed as mafia, especially knowing how biased Junhee was towards Yoonseo. I mean, if it were Yoonseo instead of Somi, would he have acted the same way? And don’t even get me started on how he treated Jinha. Poor guy didn't deserve that. If the roles were reversed and it was Yoonjoon in that situation, Junhee might have been more understanding. Yoonjoon was practically shouting that they were mafia and trying to get others to vote for them. Who wouldn’t kill if if you are in Jinha position?
