I haven't caught up with the latest eps yet, but this show made me realize something about myself. At first I really liked Jinyoung, you know the cool guy, the thrill of this mixed red and green signals haha, and just knowing he's someone that many others are pining as well. He's just like those tv show MLs, slightly toxic but addicting haha
But when I saw SeJun, I felt like in reality he really is my cup of tea. I like everything he showed in the show. He seems like he stayed true to himself, obviously I feel like he's also there to promote Ascottage, but I do get the vibes that he isn't pretentious as the others. I like his calm energy, and he is also unexpectedly funny. I like his silent effort, the little things he does to help Soe without making a show for it. I like also how he's steadfast with his feeling and choices and is able to express them. Now, there's no way they are in love after a few days, but I appreciate him picking Soe and just going with how he really felt rather than aiming to join the Seulki-train for screentime. I don't know how much is scripted, but I did think he was one of the least who tried too hard for the show, he was asleep half the time lol
So, my conclusion is that while JinYoung feels exciting and fun, SeJun feels comfortable and like home. Personally, in real life, I would really go for someone like SeJun.
What doesn't make sense to me is that they were so extreme during highschool yet ironically when they got older and have more power they suddenly couldn't do anything to her. Of course I'm rooting for ML, but given the bullies morals and sadistic tendencies, killing her would have been an easy solution for them.
Glad they didn't explicity showed it, but it looks like she was also raped. This makes me wish LeJeHoon's 'Taxi Driver' company shows up and bring justice for her.
And the teacher slapping her in front of everyone. How is that even possible? So many bullying/torture K-shows these days. Kdramas better chill a bit otherwise this will wipe out the rainbows&flowers country image they built from their fluffy shows from before.
The revenge better be satisfying because 20mins in and my blood is boiling. What's up with these bullying in SoKor highschools, I hope this is not a normal thing there. I know bullying exist, but this level is heinous and sadistic. These kids needs to be psychiatrically checked if this is the amount of evil they're capable of.
I don't understand the mixed reviews. I think this is very well done and also the ending was satisfying. To those who says the acting is cringey, perhaps you are not used to Japanese style acting? In comparison to other Jdramas this is already a lot less cringe. And to those who keeps comparing it to season1, perhaps you only watched for the gore? Or hyperfocused on the manga version? In my opinion, season2 gave emotion and purpose to the show. I was rooting for them the whole time, unlike in season1 where I was just watching and waiting for the next one to die.
This is one of those franchise wherein if you see one clip without knowing any context, you will cringe real hard. But once you watch the whole thing and warmed up to the plot, it will suck you right in. This franchise is top tier entertainment, you will feel cool and badass the whole time haha
guys is this worth watching? and how good it is compared to 1st season?
Better than season1 in my opinion. Season1 stood out for me because of the gore and shock factor. In Season2, because we know the characters better, I rooted for them. There's more emotional aspect in S2 for me.
So what about those dead controllers from S1 final episode? Why did they got killed? Can someone explain it to…
I just posted the same question and waiting answers from manga readers. I'm thinking there are only 12 facecards, if more than 12 players become citizens, do the rest become these 'controllers'? But it still doesn't make sense.
Yes. And how Akane with multiple gunshots managed to crawl to Aguni.haha
True. But for me I made up my own explanation lol I'll just believe that since it all happened in supernatural realm, the rules about their 'physical' state is more forgiving. I think their will to live is what kept their 'Borderland bodies' defy natural logic.

it's entertaining but highly illogical. You gotta switch off your brain from time to time.
After the shock value in ep1, it's becoming a bit ridiculous now. And the pacing is weird

I only saw some clips without subs
He's now basically the Levi of AiB.

I found this.. apparently they are called Dealers.
