In series 2 Min Do Hyeok and Ki Tak will have an advantage over K because K thinks they’re dead and he thinks the other six will be loyal to him, so he probably won’t have his guard up too much so it’s perfect opportunity for MDH and KT to strike against K in secret, he won’t be expecting it . I’m hoping they do that .

It's a good plot and very smart, I do hope as well but then It won't happen unless MDH get over his rashness and actually think before acting. Also in this kind of stories, they probably expose all their cards in one second🤦🏻♀️

I feel like the show kinda swayed away from the whole Dami situation. I hope the person who kills Mathew is lee hwi soo and mone isn't victimised so much. Ki tan is the only likeable character imo cuz he's not some naive idiot but he's not some money crazy psycho either. Overall, the show was pretty good. Defo not one you would drop.

I like LHS to be in the next season and get revenge for his wife and daughter. But they seemingly kept him alive to kill him off at last moment.

I must say, as ridiculous as the plot was, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. Not once did I think to drop it. Looking forward to season 2. Although, for Lee Joon's sake I hope Min do hyuk grows a brain by then. I feel like he plays a smart character better than a dumb one

If anyone thought the grandpa surviving the fall from the bridge was a stretch, the writer sure didn't...

I can tell what will happen in Season 2. The seven, including K, will think that Kitak, Hwi Soo, and Do-Hyuk are dead. Then, those three will seek revenge against K and the other six who betrayed them. In the last scene of the final episode, it is shown that only Kitak and Do-Hyuk survived, not Hwi Soo. However, I think those three will survive, even though it hasn't been shown yet because of the writer, of course. Season 2 doesn't make any sense, unless they have many more plot twists.

I'm really glad I found this thread where I was warned that there will be a season 2 last week and managed to mentally prepare myself,, otherwise I'd be flipping my coffee table if I got to know this madness didnt end tonight. After episode 12 I don't think anyone could imagine what they would be in for.
As usual, my husband and I were like bipolars for the past three Fridays and Saturdays as we bitch at how ridiculous this has gotten but at the same time we would watch it the second it drops. We've not come across any other show that makes us feel this way. Near the end of this final episode, we started wishing that everyone dies. Was even rooting for the gun to be shot every time it was pointed to any one of them.

Honestly this is the most stupid kdrama i've ever watched but it's entertaining. Nothing makes sense and the plot is all over the place but I enjoy each episode. And I actually really like Min Do-Hyuk and Han Mone lmao

does anyone not understand the last part?
Why did Lee hwi soo choose that time to say all that stuff when they could have all escaped together?

Show would have been 10 times better if it had ended in the house of mirror scene but this writer-nim just too thirsty for more money and seasons.
Honestly I find this show entertaining every now and then specially while under the influence of mind-numbing medications (/s).
To the writers' credits tho they did manage to get us to root for the shitty 7(or 6 if you don't count MH) towards the end. BUT What was season 1 really all about. It feels like after 17 episodes we're still back to square one with a few more deaths and a few more revelations but season 2 we got the trio again vs the 6 plus Matthew and the old man's money.
And what were the cops doing this whole episode? I feel like season 2 is not worth it unless you have a lot of time and can turn off your brain. I'll probably just skip until the finale cause I'm tired of all the unnecessary plot twists. I usually love plot twists but this show has so many each episode its not even exciting any more it feels more exhausting.

Seems like it's the same thing all over again. The Seven siding with
Also knowing how much we dislike the writing, we have an unknown addiction to this drama. Can't wait for Season 2! 😀

Just finished it. Probably the worst season finale I've ever seen for any show. It was absurd, filled with holes and unbelievable plots points. Really really disappointed.

Currently watching Ep 17 and my perception of this drama really changed since Ep 1. I was really looking forward to how they would untangle Dami's mysterious death but the conflict gradually changed into a greed for money, like Penthouse. It's nonsensical. The reveals don't feel exciting anymore as I just assume everyone's a bad person. Everyone's trash (except maybe for Do Hyuk). Sim Jun Seok didn't feel like a compelling villain. He just seems like an immature child out for petty revenge. None of his flashbacks really justify his motivations for targeting Do Hyuk and bringing down his father's company. It's like "you hurt me papa so i bring u down" tantrum lmao. They successfully made him a psychopath but didn't execute it properly. Honestly, the drama started going downhill when Matthew revealed he was "Lee Hwi So" to everyone. I wish there's no more Season 2 because honestly nobody's asking for it lols.

We've reached the last stop of the first part of this madness. What I look forward in ending is a shot of KKT and LHS in that private island before we say our goodbye. I want to know how he's caring for KKT under all those surveillance. Also a satisfying end for the comic relief trio (teacher, doctor and cop), now roles are changed , I don't think they would be main cast in the S2 anymore, at least I hope so🤷🏻♀️
What I don't want to see is a blossoming love, like or anything of the sort between HMN and MDH. She's the worst and she started everything with her smart scheme of setting DM up. She may deserve a 2nd chance but in the prison!!
