for sure sameeeedit : i'm kinda disappointed cause in the next ep preview ........... they debunked this .. can't…
In a way, yes, he's a victim of the circumstances he found himself in. He never had a desire to lead, and had to make a call because he knew someone poisoned his brother, and letting a kid rule means someone will rule in his stead.
But from the perspective of the FL, he does deserve it. He turned his back on them when they needed him most. She also grew up with a very positive view of him, through her father.
And after what they had to go through, she finally understood what her father meant by his words, and why her father did not take sides. Although, of course, as viewers, we know she is missing the king's side of the story.
Basically, the king has showed his ugly side on Day 1. He cut off everyone instead of creating his own power base. Lack of experience? Sure. But three years passed, and he still has no power base of his own. He even failed to see his baduk player is a woman; or not even wonder about it, especially in a culture where moustache is a thing. He should at least have doubts.
It goes to show that his character indeed turned into something else after he took the throne. Not because being king went way over his head, rather, again the circumstances he found himself in.
Another weird thing about him, he was taking the same medicine his brother had? He suspects someone poisoned him, and yet he isn't being careful about it. He placed too much trust on the court lady of his brother.
So, this sudden about face of his character was what the FL's father worried about; and unfortunately for him, his daughter experienced it first-hand, so she's out to take her revenge and bring him down.
Why I think there won't be a Season 3: the way S02E14 ended is the hint.
1. The 3 primary characters each found their own villages. 2. The monologue hinted that it is all about their desire. 3. FL started to see dead people because of her desire to help. 4. The father ML discovered a new village. 5. The step-father ML also discovered a new village. 6. Steve simply disappeared, and it was at his scene when the monologue started about wish, desires, and miracles. It hints that Steve's desire to hide enabled him to cross into an invisible image.
Which, unfortunately for the detective, he still cannot see, so they failed to find him. The detective just shouted in frustration.
7. Taken together, the ending of S02E14 is a set-up for an open ending. They leave the rest of the stories to the imagination of their fans.
It is the crew telling the audience that, “hey, there are a lot of missing persons in the real world, share the burden and help in whatever way you can”. Admit it or not, the majority of us ignore the missing persons, as this series have shown us.
They set out to write stories about missing persons, so the public will be aware of them. They have completed their mission in two Seasons. They strongly believe they no longer need to create a Season 3.
In fact, I agree. Creating a third season will dilute the message of the series. The third season won't have the same impact as Seasons 1 and 2. If they do it, Season 3 will just be “for entertainment purposes” and turn the entire series into “nothing but fiction to entertain people and make some money”.
This is it. As much as I want to see a Season 3, even a Season 4, it is not advisable.
The series is about the missing persons and the people left behind wondering what happened to their loved ones. It is about waking up the audience to the reality of missing persons, instead of pretending that they don't exist just because it hasn't happened to them.
It ended beautifully. It was very touching. And it is alarming.
I'm a blogger, and after watching Seasons 1 and 2, especially the series finale (S02E14), they convinced me to help. I've already started making plans on how I can incorporate missing persons in my line of work.
I hope you will too because that was the objective of the creators of this series.

True.But as long as they're funny, I'm with it. Hehe. I mean, Philippine variety show is similar, so I'm used…
Yep, and sometimes they seem to be bringing in social issues and making a joke out of it. At least that's how it appeared to me. That's something no one does here in my country, that's crossing the line.
There were also jokes that appeared the other member was offended, but was just trying to hide it. Times when they're abusing the “it was a joke” / “I'm a comedian” explanation, which makes the other party try to hide that they were offended. Again, that's just how it appears to me. They blurred their role-playing and real-life stuff too much,
they have completely different plot, how can you even compare them together 😭
I can also compare “Train to Busan” and “Hellbound” if I want to. There are a lot of common denominators between “Train to Busan” and “Hellbound” other than those being created by the same creator.

And the director didn't overdo the focus on the lips. There is a story behind the kiss, instead of it just a kissing scene for the sake of kissing.
"Just think of me as your girlfriend."
"You do have a girlfriend, or an ex?"
"Of course!"
"Haha. There, just relax. I'm your girlfriend today."
(I'm no actor, but I think that's the best way to film a kissing scene without being shy or awkwardness.)
There were also jokes that appeared the other member was offended, but was just trying to hide it. Times when they're abusing the “it was a joke” / “I'm a comedian” explanation, which makes the other party try to hide that they were offended. Again, that's just how it appears to me.

Thank you for sharing!
The only reason why I want an S24! LOL.
I do wish the scene was longer! It's so rare to see Korean actors acting genuine kiss.
