The kinship with Light Shop is obvious.
There's a recurring theme of human sacrifice : working yourself to death. I think it’s pretty clear… female workers, like Go Min-Si, who rebel and are simply "erased" from history. Then the boss of the recruitment agency shoots the woman who identifies herself as a member of a labor union…
The film also takes us back to the 1980s, the end of the South Korean dictatorship. Finally, we see the protagonist taking over from his employer after having laboriously tried to fight that system; from now on, he’ll uphold it in a different way... Does that make sense ?
To the people who complain about not getting any explanations at the end: there's nothing we can do for you. Or maybe you're still too young to have had a crappy, low-paying job that's way below your academic qualifications. That moment when you realize this system really is a deadly joke.
The 5-star cast complements a well-crafted production. The CGI scenes aren’t too bad for a short series. Kim Min-ha delivers an excellent performance in every role. Seriously, she’s an actress who never disappoints. And she was in Light Shop, as well.
I'll add that it's always funny to see amusement park mascots beating the crap out of each other. Episode 7, while frankly violent and even cruel, still manages to be a lot of fun.
I'm ready for the second season.
