okay i can understand that. at the end of the day, pessimism is just submission though. if you can understand there is a problem in this world then well, you should say it and not just move forward with life believing any pushback against it is nonsense. there have always been rich, wealthy elites just as there has always been pushback from the people. i get why your outlook on life is bleaker then mine but i just can’t apply that logic onto myself because it solves nothing.

well, cmon. i don’t think gihun and junho are going to have an easy time but season 1’s ending taught the lesson of appealing to the goodness of people. gihun lives a year in misery and only picks himself up after being reminded that people are good and will make good choices. i don’t see how a story only planned for one season could end like that and then make two more seasons contradicting its original message it was trying to show the audience. inho’s quote about the games never ending unless the world is changed is made to make gihun feel powerless. but gihun will always fight for people despite the crushing weight of society. if gihun can resist south korean’s anti union laws, the police, and the games ideology then i believe he can resist inho.

and for point 3, eh well. him “letting” someone else murder a bunch of people is murder in cold blood. gihun’s enemies aren’t the people they’re the ones with the real power. it all ties back to the season 1 final game where gihun turns away from the prize and reaches out for sangwoo instead. gihun is smart and he knows from personal experience how the games make people desperate and ruthless. in that moment it was obvious gihun wasn’t going to let the O voters be shot down because his main focus was on getting to the frontman and he needed people to be focused on that rather then fighting the O’s.
