dang it started off with a bang bro (that NAIL?)

alsooooo the military police trash they need a better protocol

it shocks me how often they resort to using their fists lol a glaringly obvious excuse to have fight action choreo (like a multitude of situations could have simply been resolved if they had used their words rather than their fists. the dude (ajh) crashed into the police and let the victim escape, like couldnt he communnicate

mb i didnt understand some shit since im sleep deprived, but i feel like some themes could have been explored better, developed better. For example, an joon hos relationship with his mom randomly got resolved for some reason, which is hella confusing. I don't get why he suddenly forgave his mom for not escaping his dad....

i have no qualms with the unhappy ending, reflective of reality where justice is rarely achieved (i think I'm cynical lol)

the ending of him literally breaking away and defying authority was a bit on the nose, if they wanted to show him literally breaking away from the military ideals/environment, which led to him to be a bystander.

some arcs felt so abrupt (that girl and her abusive bf? hello)
- I'm trying to think of the significance of that arc (her last parting words, don't pity too much. Perhaps it's a commentary on how people who are soft hearted in this world/military get screwed over)
- sometimes, it felt like suffering for the sake of suffering...or mb that was the purpose: just trying to shock its viewers into the idea that damn, the military be dark
- i think the issue is I felt like it was heavy handed. Lacked nuance? because this thing is basically exclaiming, MILITARY ACTUALLY BAD, in large caps, which is valid i guess (if it's a new concept...).
- it sort of got ridiculous at the end, i never really got a feel for the main characters i think. They were a little bit underdeveloped.

interesting:
- suffering begets suffering, bullying begets bullying ( basically everyone bullies each other)
