Netflix has the first season but not the second one . Not fair . 🙂
If there's demand, Netflix, and the production companies behind Season 2, will probably try to strike a deal.
You can wait, or just get it from other sources.
There was a similar discussion in a Western show platform how it's ridiculous to subscribe to every OTT service just to watch 1 or 2 shows, and which usually spans more than a month. Many agreed it's better to keep 1 or 2 OTT where you regularly watch a lot of shows and movies, and if they don't offer a new show you want, watch it from illegal sites. :p
So, yeah, if you're feeling guilty about it, don't be. To borrow from the Mandalorian: This Is The Way! Hahahaha
1. The Disclaimer.LOL. There were, there are, and there will be again, religions and organisations like the ones…
> TV series has disclaimer to avoid potential lawsuit/legal action from any person/company/organization who believes they've been defamed by the portrayal in the said show/drama.
LOL. I know. I am simply commenting about it so people will be aware of the reality. We have seen it numerous times, people dismissing things as “it only happens in fiction” because people today are too afraid to say, “based on a true story” or “based on a true to life story”. Like Season 1, many of the cases were based on real SoKor cases. Back in the 20th century, no one's afraid of “based on a true to life story”, because it is what it is. Today, people don't even believe something when it's right in front of them, or when their family or friend is in distress, usually seen in films and TV series.
> By the way, who are u referring to as "she" in #2? Kim So Yeon? Is she in Dr. Romantic 1? Because I didn't remember her being a cast. I checked her MDL profile, but Dr. Romantic 1 isn't in her lists of tv projects.
That was a mistake. Thank you for pointing out. I was thinking of Penthouse and Iris and typed Dr. Romantic instead, LOLs.
Ah! I loved the finale! But is this introducing 3rd season in December or simply saying, they will continue fighting…
It's just a possibility. It's like, “hey, if ever Season 3 is green lit, the story will begin in 2023 or 2024, and will air sometime next year”.
At least that's the vision.
S3 might even air in 2025 and the story would be set either in 2024 or 2025.
It's just there to keep the story open, thus has potential to be picked up later. If no new seasons are ordered, then it is a good open-ended series finale.
LOL. There were, there are, and there will be again, religions and organisations like the ones depicted in this season.
Nice play to put that disclaimer to calm the public… which only would make them dismiss more the reality that is around them. So, when the time comes it is happening to them, or their relatives, they will think “it only happens in drama”, denying the fact in front of them.
2. There is a spin-off potential
Corrected: IRIS!
3. Taxi Driver is a story about the courtship game of Go Eun and Do Gi.
* Season 1: When Go Eun met Do Gi, the walls fell. * Season 2: When Go Eun hinted to Do Gi, the floodgates opened.
Yoo In Na's acting is sooo cheesy. I have no doubt she's enjoying her role. I don't know what age her character is, but as she is the same age as I do, it is easy to pull from our high school / young adult experiences and act like one.
Not only that, we do miss those days when the world was all about romance, dating, and feeling you live in heaven. It shows in her acting here, she clearly remembers her youth and young adult life. Thus, her acting is perfect for her role.
Oh, and the lines she was given also comes from someone with experiences, and have observed others. You see, I too is sometimes asked about relationship and dating advice.
But you know what's ironic? Like her character, Bo Ra, I also fail miserably to take my own advice. Why is it we can help others avoid misfortune, or find the love of their life, but we fail with our own romantic life?
He should've still knelt and gave her the ring, and let her make her final decision. He was too selfish to let her leave like that. Did he not realise she was waiting for a miracle? Did he not understand anything about the radio show advice?
The last thing he could do at that moment is to show her he's serious with her, that he just doesn't know what it meant to be in a relationship; and he bought the books because he wants to genuinely change and be the right man for her.
Instead, he has just proven that he doesn't see her as his partner for life. That she was just friend-with-benefits. And that freaking hurts for a person who wants to settle down.
it was a grave mistake to train the students. Soldiers are dying because of them.
Of course, that's what they want us to think. I'm suspecting the reason they're training the students is everyone they can deploy were already deployed, and they're losing men fast. The students are their last option. It was a double-edge sword.
I love this! It captured that moment when we were in High School (Grades 10, 11, 12 in South Korea; Grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 in the Philippines).
It was a very good throwback to the best day of our lives. When we were so young, innocent, brave, that part of our life where we were trying to carve a name for ourselves, trying to be independent, yet reality is pushing us back. That point in our lives when we start to hate our parents/guardians because of this and that.
But, today, as adults, we are saying the exact same thing to the kids of today. Go study. GO STUDY! It is not the time to be in a relationship. Or, us adults find it hard to trust kids because WE KNOW EXACTLY what is going on in their minds and what they are and will do. Why? Because we've been there ourselves.
To some, relationship became the reason their grades fell. While for some, it became the reason they became the top of the class. Some got distracted because of it, some it was a source of inspiration.
That is what this show is about, High School life, and how we were poking into the world of adulthood, yet too afraid to face make a stand. Where we thought we knew better, only to realise, often the hard way, what we know about ourselves and about life is nothing.
EVEN SO, it is that point in our lives that many of us wants to go back to. The fun. The feeling of being sooooo muuuuch in love. Laughing with our friends. With absolutely no care about the world.
To kids out there, enjoy your school life. Play hard. Live it. Laugh all you want, cry all you want. Be in love. Feel all the pain of break-ups. Because, trust us, once you are an adult, you will never have time to play, you will never experience that kind of life ever again. You will never have time to laugh, NOT EVEN to cry. And all the pain you will experience as an adult, you will lock it away. And all the love in the world, you will learn to ignore it.
It sucks to be an adult. So, enjoy your High School life. Make the best of it. Make a lot of good memories, and learn from all the bad memories. It will shape you. It will be the source of your strength and success one day.
You may hate your teachers, those subjects, but they will become useful in your adult life.
At that age, you think you know what you want to become and what job you will apply to, but no, more than half the time, things doesn't go according to your plan.
You hate math? Who doesn't? You are thinking you don't need to learn history, or English because it has nothing to do with the job you want? We all assumed that, too.
But, you know what, kids? We were wrong. Even in the type of jobs where it's 99% not needed, there is always that 1%, and you will wish to paid attention to your teachers.
Enjoy your life at eighteen, or you will regret it later.
Now, everyone knows the story about the real assassin and Pyo.
However, they revealed new information: 1. Do Jin's father did try to stop the assassination because his best friend (Hae Soo's father and President) agreed to turn a blind eye.
2. Pyo knew Tae Ra when they were teenagers becauses Pyo was tracking down who ordered to kill his mother (the scientist mentioned in earlier episodes).
When Tae Ra and his brother were escaping (remember the motorbike accident scene?) Pyo was there. He was able to bring No. 50 to France and get her medical treatment. And when she woke up with no memories, he turned planned to turned her into Tae Ra.
3. Pyo's primary objective was to take revenge. But somewhere along the way, his ideals got twisted. He now thinks that he is the only one who can keep things that happened to him and Tae Ra, from happening to other people.
---
Another new thing: everyone's targeting Pyo now. They are not friends, Hae Soo still hates them all, but she's working together with Tae Ra and her brother to bring down Pyo.
Oh, bonus #4. Mr. No-Longer-Comatosed's mother seems suspicious. She suddenly stole all the shares of her husband. Maybe she was just acting as a mother. But, it was sudden, as if she planned it for a long time and waited in behind-the-scenes.
Questions left to be answered (some are new): a. What actually happened during the assassination? Who actually gave the order?
b. Who orchestrated Mr. No-Longer-Comatosed's accident?
c. What exactly is the technology of Hatch, that they are all willing to kill their own friends and family?
d. Is Pyo really the ultimate villain? Or, is he just another character, misunderstood because the information is not complete?
e. Who actually killed Hae Soo's father?
The letter E question is there because:
Hae Soo was sitting a little farther left (facing them), and yet when her father was shot, his blood got to her.
If the scenes of No.50 and her brother were correct, they were positioned directly in front of the President.
I am no forensic analyst, but if the bullet came in front of the President, the blood would splay backwards, not sideways towards Hae Soo.
It appears to me that there is another assassin, far to the right of No.50. Hence, when the President was shot, the blood splayed to the left and hit Hae Soo (left when facing the stage).
I think No. 50 and her brother were framed up from the beginning. If so, it was a good way to keep them under their control. Unfortunately, they miscalculated No.50's reaction, so they tried to escape.
Unfortunately for No.50, she miscalculated one of the goons, he bumped into their motorcycle and ran down on her brother. And the rest is history.
Possibly, the gun No.50's brother was holding was empty. He was probably not yet that good with sniper guns. AFAIK, the recoil is not a joke, and kid doing the assassination is risky.
So, they made it appear he did it, when in reality, someone else was there with them.

I will correct it after this.

It's just there to keep the story open, thus has potential to be picked up later. If no new seasons are ordered, then it is a good open-ended series finale.
Season 1 also ended with a potential S2, but they did not announce anything until after they got a schedule.

4. Let's go SEASON 4 - 2024. 444! :p

ROFL.
#RELATE
Also, in the preview of Ep3, looks like 2FL is going to have a divorce later… but I wonder if she's going to be with the 2ML, or not.
Had more laughs with this episode. And can't they release all the episodes already, I am enjoying it.
…
The last thing he could do at that moment is to show her he's serious with her, that he just doesn't know what it meant to be in a relationship; and he bought the books because he wants to genuinely change and be the right man for her.
Instead, he has just proven that he doesn't see her as his partner for life. That she was just friend-with-benefits. And that freaking hurts for a person who wants to settle down.
He practically dumped her.
LOL. #RelateSoMuch.
Of course, that's what they want us to think. I'm suspecting the reason they're training the students is everyone they can deploy were already deployed, and they're losing men fast. The students are their last option. It was a double-edge sword.
I haven't considered the possibility Tae Ra's memories were intentionally erased. That definitely changes everything.
If he can do that, yeah, Tae Ra's brother's memories could be fake, too. Or, both of their memories are fake.
And yeah, accuracy of little details is often ignored.
