Part 2 was awkward and rushed

Loved part 1, hated part 2. Me and my husband watched it together and we had to push ourselves to finish it. We couldn't focus anymore cuz of the bad storyline and the ending is just a f*u to all the viewers.

The time skip between pt1 (ep6) and pt2 (ep7) is odd but i guess a normal thing to do in drama's to begin a new part. What's really odd to me is that the army guy kim won bin (lee soon won) just dissappeared with no explanation. None of the other military people seemed to take part of this war anymore. The storyline of just having the kids fight was awkward and pushed way to much to make sense. Also they never explained what happened to literally everyone else in south korea, to not even speak abt the rest of the world. Why did nobody ever come to help them?

The ending is also just really dumb and rushed, literally all the character development and everything was for nothing. They tried to throw all the plot twists possible in there and during that lost their effect. And then also everything ending with them not even receiving any honor or credit for all their work and sacrifice? People even protesting so they won't get honor and credit for their work? I feel like they were trying with this ending to show how f* up the SK mindset is toward education/college but to me it just was way to forced. SK people are also about honor and pride for military but that just got shoved aside to force this storyline. It's just so far from reality it didn't make sense.

It shows that the writer/producers just wanted to have a twist at the end but didn't exactly know what and went with this. This drama had so much potential and it all went to waste in part 2.
