Title Duty after School: Part 2
I was surprised by the well done CGI effects and the realistic script. The underlining tone is a clear critic on the perverted education system and the treatment of the Sewol generation. They implemented these issues very naturally. I really liked the different perspectives: pupils behavior under adult guidance and their emancipation. The PTSD and mental breakdown issue is strongly ignored but so obvious - like in the Korean society who just started to look into this matter. If you don’t focus on the literal Sphere fight but have knowledge about the Korean society and customs you will have a blast with the show. If you’re only in for the action I can’t say much because this part was also well done. I really enjoyed the whole series and can recommend it. Tbh I’m glad I watched both seasons and I highly disagree on the ‘S2 is completely different’ or ‘I should’ve listened to the others and now I hate the season for the same reasons’ takes. Nah! The drama is consistent and shows growth. I don’t know why many people want to keep the characters on the first level of understanding the issue. It’s rather frustrating to see that many people doesn’t seem to have grasped the essence of the show. It’s a pity!
