Ideas for AoUAD season two, some good, some bad, some absolutely terrifying. Not to say that I want everything on this to happen, obviously, some of these keep up at night shaking in fear (Ha-ri, get behind me). But all things I can see the show maybe doing.
Director & Writer: Kim Joo Hwan (based on the webtoon by Jeong Chan)
Mini-review:
I'm gonna be honest: I'm not usually a big fan of these type of movies/shows and I only started this one because of the wonderful Woo Do Hwan. However, color me surprised, cause I ended up loving Bloodhounds. Sure, this story has been told a million times before, but the bromance, the incredibly lovable characters (and incredibly hateful villains!) and the showstopping action scenes take this show to the next level. I'm telling you, it's a really enjoyable experience.
On top of that, the cast absolutely delivers. The show is filled with knockout (pun intended) performances, there's not a single weak link. You can tell just how hard these actors worked to prepare for all the fights and action sequences. Oh, and I can't leave out Kim Joo Hwan's propulsive directing, which left me breathless in several episodes. I do think the final scene cut off way too suddenly, and the sort-of-time-jump in episode 7 is also rather awkward, but I guess it's understandable, considering all the trouble the show went through during post-production. Anyway, Bloodhounds took me by surprise, and I think most people who like action movies/shows focused on hand-to-hand combat will love this.
posting about sweet home s2 on here (and not on my main blog) just because what's under the cut is military related.
ignore this post if you didn't watch s2 or the whole series yet and don't want spoilers/if you're not interested in it!
bad english ahead
you don't understand. yeong-hu has got feelings for seo-jin, not for seok-chan - he does have feelings for seok-chan, sure, but they're not love feelings (not yet, at least). sergeant kim said yong-seok would've returned to the stadium on his own, he didn't want to search for him at first 'cause he didn't think yong-seok was lost, but... listen to me: yeong-hu started wanting to find sergeant major choi when he saw seo-jin was desperate about his "disappearance". he cares about yong-seok and he would've searched for him anyway at some point, but he insisted to go and search for him because of sergeant min. kim is scared that seo-jin's anger and worry are gonna turn him into a monster, he's scared to lose him and that's the main reason he wants to find yong-seok. no matter what it takes.
the fact is seok-chan's always there with him, for him, and yeong-hu starts to notice a certain behaviour and to hear some words that come out the private's mouth that make the sergeant think. he realizes seok-chan has got feelings for him and that's the beginning of it all, imho.
in the s02ep04 we can see how yeong-hu looks at seok-chan when the latter is babbling about him not having a girlfriend, a person to love. the sergeant is thinking so hard, he's like "why does he care so much, though? is it because... ? no, it's not", but then we see the "higher power" scene in the s02ep08 and when yeong-hu tells seok-chan to shut up (fondly) it's as clear as water that he got it. how his eyes softens; how he cannot bring himself to look at seok-chan for a second more, so he lowers his gaze; how he finally understands his private is in love with him, but he can't help being in love with someone else (who doesn't love him back, who doesn't even know).
don't despair, though, 'cause my brain's telling me yeong-hu will snap out of his feelings for seo-jin, realize he's always got feelings for seok-chan and, eventually, they'll live happily ever after
Do you know what it feels like to constantly be checking for an All of us Are Dead season two release date, so that I know when I can write the sequel to my goddamn reaction fic, when I also technically don’t know if the season is gonna deserve a reaction?
