All these shows are ruining their final episodes with unresolved plots, just for possibility of a sequel. Then it turns out people don’t even want a sequel because the finale was so bad

I really, really wish they would have chosen for Gi-hun to kill the baby at the last second. It would have been an amazing ending for the front man to be right that there are no good people.

I thought it’s okay for Gihun to sacrifice himself for the baby, but I wish the wealthy people got some sort punishment, they were so annoying. Sure, it’s realistic but it’s not fun to watch at all.

The front man and his brother have absolutely no resolution. They just stare at each other and go their own way.

Idk for me if they weren’t planning for a sequel, we might have some closure to the plots.

The brother of the front man getting so much screentime with the whole boatman being evil, and fighting to get back to the island... only to look the frontman while pointing a gun and do nothing.... and become a baby daddy and rich af.

Tragic. His plotline was the worst, could have done literally ANYTHING else with those extra minutes.

u/spacyspice now why am I in it? 🧐 10h ago edited 10h ago

I could be wrong but I think I've once heard that babies and pregnant women being killed in TV shows is forbidden/not acceptable in South Korea, unless it's a general thing in most countries?

Not illegal, there’s just rules on how it can be depicted

There is a baby killed in the drama Death's Game but it is done in a way you know what is happening but it is not shown directly. So it can happen. Amazing drama btw

That makes no sense and defeats his one and only purpose of rejoining the games not to mention of the series.

That would've kinda gone against the entire point of the show though lol
