Dorama

So Ji Sub is back in action noir after 13 years. Action really suited him well.

This is a gritty and bloody watch. The story is simple. His younger brother died, so he's out for blood. No one will be spared, so there's mercy for none.

Yes, in the last episode, when he visited his brother at the cinerarium, he said, "I'll see you soon." He also said the same thing to Choi Song Cheol, when he killed him.

yes, he succumb to his injuries after.

ah yes. I agree with no filler and no makjang.

sad ending? no.
but almost all the characters have traumas, so it's kind of a healing drama, self discovery. It's a really good one by the way.

What's not to like?
Good plot ✅
Clear theme ✅
Chemistry between the leads✅
Chemistry between the 2nd couple ✅
Good actors✅
Nice cinematography ✅

It's a happy ending for all the characters. All their traumas were addressed and healed.

Because it's all about money. Season 1 was a huge success because of the various source materials it was inspired by.

s1 is the best of all and we know why.

oh, okay.

I'll say it again. SG have both capitalism and nepotism. Detective Hwang is a nepo baby😆
like dude, without breaking a sweat..

yeah. SG have both capitalism and nepotism. Detective Hwang is a nepo baby😅 just because he's the lil bro of frontman.

In one interview with THR (The Hollywood Reporter), Hwang Dong Hyuk (screenwriter & director) said that the cameo scene in the ending was not a hint of another season/spinoff. The games in Korea have ended thru Gi Hun and the frontman. He said he wanted to highlight the fact that even if one system comes down, it's not easy to dismantle the whole system, and that it will always repeat itself. The cycle continues. That's why he wanted to end it with an American recruiter.

About the American spinoff (David Fincher US spinoff), he also said that nothing was confirmed to him by Netflix, and he also only read it in articles.
Well see if the rumours are true and if we'll get a US spinoff.

I didn't say that you said none. You mentioned 'rare' to which I replied "not rare".

The director is also the writer, and he's the one who wrote the story from the first season.

I also watched that because I'm a Freddie Highmore fan, but undoubtedly that ABC's The Good Doctor will surpass the OG one because it has multi-seasons, whereas the OG has just 16 episodes. There's also a Turkish version of TGD.

Gi Hun is already dead. It was the frontman who took the money in Gi Hun's place and gave it to his daughter.
The cameo in the end is not a hint for an American spin-off (the director said there's no such talk, but we don't know in the future), but an indication that the game is not only happening in SK but also in other places, it is happening globally.

they didn't even know it was or who Kate Blanchet is, they just attacked her, saying she was ugly and they could do better.
Feel sorry for those peeps who didn't get to see her works.

that's why I said in my prev.comment that prize money in s1. Him giving the money to Gi Hun's daughter is his consideration for Gi Hun, he respected Gi Hun. I agree with your comment that the Frontman became like 456 instead of the other way around. I just refuted your term donating.
