Another MDL rant ?

I do agree that I like season 1 more because it’s more emotionally relatable. However, Season 2 has something else to offer which I thoroughly enjoyed a lot. So basically Season 1 focuses on giving justice towards people who are not able to rely on lawful ways, which we can all agree often happens that criminals don’t get the punishments they deserve. We are able to relate well because the stories of our main characters portray such stories. In Season 2 though, I’m not sure if some of you noticed but, they referred on actual crimes that took place in Korea — big ones I might add — and tweaked them a bit to follow the storyline.

For examples (and this is just based on my own observations cuz I won’t be googling these stuff just for a review)
- the story about the cult whom they call 아버님(Father) if you go to Netflix there’s a full documentary of a cult that sounds just like it. The most notable similarity for me is when they said “if he touch you, you will be healed” (in the documentary it’s literally sexually touching women while saying it’ll heal them (disgusting person). In the series tho, they changed things a bit
- the black sun (honestly do we not remember the whole ‘Burning Sun’ from 2021). The most notable similarity is with the drugs, drugging women, the idol Victor and the CHATS. At first I was just guessing but when Victory was chatting with his friends, that solidified it for me. The series of course, changed things a bit.

Season 2, gave me a sense of satisfaction. I don’t mean that I, outside of dramaland, would allow unlawful justice because law is there for a reason. However, if it were not up to the law, at least once in our lives we hoped that these criminals have experienced the same kind of pain as their victims. Or is that just me?

Anyways, enjoyed it a lot! Waiting for Season 3 !
