Totally! I mean, that was some special guest. A 3rd season to tie everything up would be perfect, yes. They had to be sure, they'd get to make another season. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for them to throw so many things up in the air in the finale. It was literally one sudden turn after the other. I was expecting them to tie up some stories, so cast members could have a smooth exit, but instead they added reasons for them to be in another season. Not complaining - would love to see them all again.

I'm still reeling from that special guest. I hope it's some kind of Thomas-deal like in this season.

I liked S1, but I loved S2!

Whoa! The last 10 minutes was literally just me gasping out loud, juggling questions & theories, looking at the time, watching it running out and stressing, because they just kept adding things and building up for WHAT MUST BE US GETTING A 3RD SEASON!!! I swear, if it doesn't happen!!

I almost screamed in the last seconds, when I saw who the guy bidding welcome was! Oh. my. god!

I have SO many questions to everything that went down in this final episode. I'm not ready to say goodbye to this show/these people.

Whoa, there's a lot to process and everything is escalating so fast.

Kim Hye Joo and Choi Ki Young are too pure to be in this game. They're caught in a storm created by a bunch of self-serving, broken, scheming people. Both of them looked so lost in episode 11+12.

Jin Seung Hee's mom. I can't remember the last time I've hated a character this intensely.

Oh, I didn't catch that. It was Il Young's hand she was shaking? How nice. Well then, more tears + tissues needed for episode 14. :)

Totally. I don't question the whole decay/preservation part. It's more - why there? It's morbid, but you'd think, they had moved her around. They have her sitting propped up for 30 years instead of hiding her better/burying her? I also thought her having an ache in her leg/knee would be connected to how her body was, when they found her. Maybe the sitting position.

She did look way more warm & vibrant, when she popped up at the supermarket, after they found her. Which would make sense seeing as she wasn't stuck in the cold any longer. Now we just have to see, why she's still in the village.

I want a season 3 so bad!

I was so pleased, they spent some time in episode 13 on having characters ask/discuss the same questions, I had after episode 12. Shows rarely do this. Everything was going pretty OK up until the last 5 minutes and that epsiode 14 preview. I mean, what is going on? How? Why? Who? How?!! This one episode left deal is stressing me out right now.

The good part was Il Yong & seeing how much and deeply Wookie cares for him. I love these two, but I have so many questions and things, I don't feel add up.

Btw. uhm, they kept our Captain propped up in that storage room/freezer for 30 years?

First 2 episodes are available here >> https://www.youtube.com/@studio_zzz
Episode 3 is coming next week.

I didn't even catch that. when I watched the episode. So THAT was why they had to put him in the pink pyjamas. I thought, he'd thrown up on himself or something. I mean, he DID down six whole drops of 56% alcohol. 😂😂

LOL! + him asking, if they took photos, while he was passed out. Everyone (including him) thinking to themselves, they totally did. I didn't really "get" this couple before, but it hit me hard this episode, how perfect they are. Love them!

Seeing Jae Woo cuffed in a holding cell tore me up. I know ignorant jerks and running into them is part of life, but seriously - you don't need his medical history tattooed on your eyeballs to read him/understand the situation. Plus they fully escalated the entire non-conflict on their own. My man is holding a waffle covered in whipped cream for crying out loud. He was nothing but polite. Watching Haeng Seon pleading with these two clowns to drop the charges was awful. They should have been on their knees. Don't hurt this guy anymore, show.

He's one of my fave parts of this show. I adore him!

Ah, I thought he wasn't flatlining yet, when Wookie found him. But if he was, then that part makes sense.

"Wook’s recurring dream is what Il Young sees when he is close to consciousness in his artificially induced coma." Oh, this is awesome! I didn't think of that, but it makes perfect sense!

Agree, I'd take a season 3 with our main trio being Wookie, Il Yong and Lee Jong A.

IL YONG! I have NEVER been so grateful for a spoiler preview. The end of episode 12 completely destroyed me. Poor Captain Kang! 😭 😭 😭 😭!!

But does him appearing from the tree, then dissolving into sparkling nothing, then ending up in the hospital even work with the logic of the show? I thought the sparkling into nothing was end game? Or did he disappear because he woke up from his induced coma? And him being in the village/able to cross into the real world due to him being in that coma? Not dead, but not concious either.

That would mean these villages could be filled with more "hovering between life or death" people. And before the trio started finding the remains of village people, some of them could actually have left/dissolved because they came back to life like Il Yong. I hope they explain it, because I'm not sure the logic of that works for me yet.

Show better not give me hope for Il Yong surviving this and then killing him off in episode 13 or 14.

Me three.

I Told Sunset About You. 😊

I’m so glad I finally got to rewatch this via an official source and in high quality. I’m still sobbing like a child for basically 20+ minutes straight, because it’s so heartbreaking. I’m very impressed by how much this movie manages to accomplish in such a short runtime.

My interpretation is that Min Ha commits suicide, and that the trip is his goodbye to Sang Beom. You could also read it as one last happy time together before a breakup. Min Ha is open and honest about who he is, while Sang Beom isn’t ready for that level of honesty in his own life. Add to that Sang Beom knowing about, and even witnessing, Min Ha being bullied, without being able to do anything beyond tending to his wounds afterward, and it creates so much unnecessary strain on their relationship.

In the flashbacks, we see them talking about becoming adults. Sang Beom mentions the things he’s looking forward to, while Min Ha only responds with a sad smile, knowing he either won’t live to experience those things, or won’t get to experience them with Sang Beom, depending on how you interpret the story. Maybe he’s simply lost all hope of seeing that far ahead. When he casually says he hates being alive, almost like a throwaway remark, it broke me. Min Ha is so transparent about who he is, which makes it even more unbearable to watch him be punished for it by the bullies. The Peter Pan reference, to me, underline that Min Ha was never going to grow up. If you go with the interpretation that Min Ha doesn’t die but instead leaves, the night scene on the beach becomes even more bittersweet. Just as Sang Beom happily says he’s finally ready to love Min Ha openly, Min Ha tells him he wants to end things.

By the end, Sang Beom gets his identity card, something he’s deliberately put off. He’s not only accepting the loss of Min Ha by letting him go, but, with the Peter Pan reference in mind, choosing to officially become an adult without him. You could also see it as Sang Beom finally being ready to accept and live openly as who he is.

It’s not all heartbreak and sadness. The fluffy and funny moments feel like coming up for much needed air. Both leads deliver great performances, but this was what made me start paying attention to Kim Dong Hwi and checking out his future projects.

This movie moved me deeply, and it’s one of only two productions in this genre that I didn’t hesitate to give a 10-star rating to. I wish I could support it financially by buying or renting it, because it deserves a much, much bigger audience.

Oh, this is fantastic news! To be able to watch/support it the right way. Thank you for the tip. I hope it can stay there.

I agree. Maybe it's the point to leave things unresolved for so long, seeing as most-to everything is connected, but it's still so frustrating. Especially with a limited number of episodes left. When they introduced the pimp bf, I began to consider taking notes to keep track of these people, their schemes & problems. I gave up and decided to just roll with it and hope, show can stick the landing.
