It’s sad that your review is very superficial. It’s very light in actual depth of character and capturing…
I believe a show should stand on its own legs outside of that. I can acknowledge that there is a lot of good in the show, hence why I mentioned that Patk Sung Hoon had probably the best performance of the season, but that doesn't make up for the deficiencies it lacks compared to season 1. It can be ground breaking and still lack luster, especially when it is coming off the back of an already ground breaking first season.
seriously tho what is WITH the music its driving me insane
never said it wasn't, but I'm allowed to be critical of what I watch. it's not gonna make or break the show for me but a comment section is a place for comments I fear <3
one ep in and I will say - the music design is super lackluster compared to s1, the intentional use of music was really a hitting point. Now there's a lot of canned music and I really hope its not an indicator of the rest of the season aka netflix got its grubby little hands and tried to make it more commercialized (yes, I did write an entire essay on squid game s1 and I WILL do it again if I have to)
what a beautiful story it shows how grief is both terrifying yet heartfelt. we are who we are because of our loved ones, and even the kindness of strangers. heartbreaking in the best possible way
