I don't necessarily agree with that assessment. There was some significance to the scene where we are shown both boys holding their respective daggers. One, the fact that van tamed his dagger faster than gungtan showed that he was more in touch with his humanity and two, the fact that the daggers became an extension of their beings. They are physically linked to the daggers and they repsond to their commands. The dagger shaking meant that van was calling for it. The dagger doesn't merely respond to evil. It alerts van to evil. Its an extension of the lust demon that exists within them which is why no one else can control it but them

Exactly. We've only just touched the tip of the ice berg here. It reminds me of hellbound, where so much was left unanswered and then unexpectedly it was renewed for another season. I just hope that happens here too.

You could be right, i wasnt sure if the dagger was van's dagger (given how they showed van's dagger right before the picture) or someone else. I think the greater darkness mi ho mentioned was probably the white robed guys, not any other bad guy. Because that young monk told yeom ji when she was young that the people she cares about will have to be brought back. That's van and gungtan, not some other bad guy

I said i respect your opinion. Lets agree to disagree and leave it that shall we?

Nah i beg to differ. Yes bullying is a very serious issue. Never said it wasn't so i don't understand why you felt the need to remind of that. But I stick by my opinion, lee do hyun's character could have been done without and still would not have made much of a difference to the plot. In sweet home he played a vital role. Here not so much.
But i respect your opinion.

Fingers crossed. My imagination is running wild with possible theories. Van being a darker version of himself, mi ho helping him overcome the lust demon. It could be epic, if they go for it

But my point is that a couple that loves each other and thinks taking revenge for one another is a form of love, that couple can't be healthy. They are jumping from one revenge to another. What else is there in their relationship? It also didn't help that there was zero chemistry between them

Agreed. There's already a heavy plot with the FL's bullying and revenge. Why add an unnecessary extra character with his own revenge arc which isn't directly linked to the main story?

His character brought nothing of significance to the show. Any one could have filled his shoes. Lee do hyun is one of my favourite actors among the new ones. But i honestly think he could have passed on this show. It didn't do justice to him. The rest of the cast had its place. He was very much out of place (his character i mean).

I may be the first to say this, but yeo jung and dong eun are a toxic couple. He helped her with revenge and now she will return the favour. That cant be healthy.
What a waste of a perfectly good actor (lee do hyun)

I always said yeom ji would be key but I thought they would clarify her importance in this season, not leave it for another

Ep 10 was just a candy before all the anguish...

There's never been a drama where ive screamed at the leads to NOT hug before this one 😔

I can't get over this drama 😭 tell me where to sign a petition or something so that we can get another season because you cant just end a show like that and not promise another season.

Because the marble was keeping his lust demon at bay. When wongjeong died, a fragment entered his eye and changed him back. Which is why he wasn't sealed the first time but this time he was in lust demon mode, so he ended up sealed.
In my perspective, the end showed him awakening. Especially because his dagger moved. That dagger belongs to him, he tamed it as part of his initiation. Why would the dagger detect evil if van wasnt awakened? That's hint 1. Then there's mi ho's internal monologue asking if he'll come back. Hint 2. Johan looking at a picture and seeing a dagger appear in a man's hand right after van's dagger is shown to be moving. Hint 3.
We have a definite opening for another part . Why would they do that if they weren't planning to further tell the story?

We'll have to make enough noise to get another part.
Hellbound, squid game, all of us are dead and the tale of nine tailed all got another season despite there not being any initial plans for one. It's because the fans demanded one. From what ive heard, island did very well on amazon prime so i hope they consider another season.
Plus nam gil and his company bought the rights to the webtoon so they can go ahead and make more seasons.

I hope so

Not saying it's amazon's fault, im asking them to renew it because it's where the show aired

King of pigs and glory are both centrally about bullying and how the main character becomes obsessed with exacting revenge.

Did you miss the parts where we were repeatedly told that the butler taught mi ho how to shoot and fight? I mean shooting is shooting, whether it's at lust demons or at people. Its not like she was suddenly doing a van level battle with the demons lol :P
