If their duty is to serve, whose duty is it to protect the soldiers?
I am writing this after crying cause I am very much broken (in a good way).
If you've watched season 1, we continue forward with Junho holding the same resolve as he tracks down deserters, but with renewed vigor. He still very much carries the anger and guilt from his very 1st mission as D.P. It's an emotional journey, with many fists, blood, and tears involved as Junho (quite literally) single-handedly fights violence while standing his ground. But finally, the little cracks in the system have grown large enough to break its outer shell. This season is just as violent as before, and realistically, not much has changed at first.
Season 2 ties a lot of loose ends and cliffhangers from S1. We follow the trial of Kim Ruri (the mass shooting cliffhanger), which rightfully takes a majority of the storyline with its connection to Cho Seokbong's case. We also witnessed the major character development of Im Jiseop, the captain who became our sliver of hope for change from Season 1. And finally, the delivery of truth to the hurt families of the victims who try to change the system from the outside. It was done beautifully, with necessary flashbacks to remind us what still needs to be accomplished. Hoyeol also reunites with Junho after the traumatizing incident with Cho Seokbong. There is good news for that too.
I said this before, but Junho really is an imperfect hero that makes me love him so much. He wants an answer that no one seems to know. He wonders why they're here to serve and protect, YET no one ever protects them back. He is still pained and traumatized by his own mistakes.
"Who" will be there for the soldiers when they're injured? "Who" will be brave enough to tell the truth to the world? Junho vowed to never make the same mistake again. He saves another life this time--Kim Ruri--making up for past regrets. He has grown a lot since S1, becoming more calculated and sharp after building all that experience. Although we can't really say the system has changed much yet, enough damage was done to provoke it. As Ahn Junho said, he's ONLY getting started with this.
I think the cinematography outdid S1, because a lot of shots were improved beautifully and brings us an immersive watching experience. The pacing was better this season too. Nonstop praise to the cast....Jung Haein, why do you have to make me cry all the time...
As Beomgu said, "We'll win it next time." Prepare better, fight harder, stand taller. We have 364 days left in Junho's service, so buckle up everyone. See y'all in Season 3!
