sometimes, this site has some issues.

yikes why shadow ban? :|

cinematography is really great

Jay is attractive, yea. But he is also playing a typical trope character.

For me, the main character has his own charm. The start of the series was intriguing and it actually put a layer of complexity and back story to his character, which I was invested to it. But then mid point of the story, it just got lost. I don't get what is the motivation or even the story. It also lost on me that he is being groomed to be an actor, but then again, I don't see any depth or range on his acting (until the last 2 episodes, I guess?)

The chemistry between the two was generally hampered for me because of repetitive uncomfortable forced romance. I don't really like or even see the main character to be submissive. He was on a vengeful route, went through a series of life challenges, know how to box and fight, he was also a hardened debt collector, and yet he fold to this guy so easily? The revenge plot was lost in essence and the romance felt like forced into it and the storyline changes midway.

The forced intimacy, i dont get it. The main character feels so uncomfortable with it. The whole revenge was going on well.... until midway, it felt like it was dropped? You don't even see this Sunny dude for like awhile? Did the main character forget why he is in this industry? Or did the writers forgot it?

i dont get the high ratings. Maybe, it's just me? Can't relate to this character, I don't feel emotional connection, the acting feels... flat? It looks to me the main character show only one facial expression for everything?

I dont see the point?

Felt like they have exhausted the story in S1.

im so confused with this series that i just dont get it. I felt dumb. i dont know what story should I be actually be invested on and the title was the trunk, but why am I not seeing/hearing the trunk more often? Am I just not paying attention well? The problem is, I cant even pay attention well because it felt so flat and boring?

Avatar date is so stupid. Instead of helping, they are like sabotaging the date. I get it's funny and all, but at least do it so it can be helpful for the cast. Also, the whole lesson/ppt presentation of the previous cast member was not really useful, it's just so odd.

Ridiculous. Dude went back to his apartment to clean up, the investigator/police didn't try to find him after they were attacked in apartment?

I want to like it, but it felt overtly long.

Dude was hard in first episode. it's already a give away.

Ryu Sung Joon is such a horrible detective/police. And so does his "team". At some point, he figured out that there's 5 kids, and even wrote it down in the board - but he later didnt question the identity of number 13? All along I assume that they already knew number 13 is the culprit and going after, then they try to throw a twist at the end, but the logic falls down because Ryu didnt question why the heck there's two number 13?

much better than s1

Wow, that was great. I'm just 3 episodes in.

Concept is great, execution is not so much, they wasted potentials of great actors, especially JCW

Im guessing the North Korean plot is not going away, the SD card is still a question.
The "payment" of Kim to the guy in the pool too.
Kim's name is still a mystery.
I'm guessing there could be more North Korean spy/operatives that they can have.
Villain dad in S1 should just go away.

Can someone explain to me the significance of the SD card?

We assume it's with the brother of the Kim's friend? I have the impression that he lied to South Koreans or at least he didnt divulge all information.

5 episodes in, and I don't feel connected to any of the characters. -_-

I cant help but to compare with Gyeongseong Creature, which I feel that I care enough for some characters and root for. Even the horror aspect, feels better.

My tolerance is too high hahaha. I thought it will be scarier.
