A very good setup for what's to come
Just finished S2 and wanted to write my thoughts on it:
While not as good as S1, it had its brilliant moments too;
like the frontman actively manipulating everyone and coming out on top
Gi Hun failing to do anything even with all of that money and previous knowledge of the games
frontman's brother always being a step behind
new games that were entertaining to watch
representing an LGBT character in a way that feels natural and not forced at all, I really wanna give them props for that cuz in western media currently there is a wave of LGBT representation in movies, games and dramas which is great, the issue is that they almost always feels forced, and the characters are always defined just by their sexuality and never by who they are as a person and in S2 they did a fantastic job of creating a character that felt believable and in no way forced.
they also made Gi Hun's growth believable, usually in sequels they make the main character too much OOC, and it always feels unnatural and messes with the continuity of the story but in S2 Gi Hun and what he did with the money matches the level of intelligence he had in S1, they didn’t suddenly make him a genius, he was still a too trusting idiot that is now a little more prepared by everything he's seen in S1 and the money of course.
Criticisms: I don't have much to criticize cuz the story has yet to be finished, so I reserve judgment after I see what ending they wanna do for the whole series, as far as I'm concerned S2 did an admirable job of setting up several story lines with a major confrontation to come, so I have a lot to look forward to.
I've seen a lot of people complain and criticize S2 and compare it to S1 unfairly, and I find that to be quite premature cuz S1 had a complete and finished story to tell with a big confrontation and a major twist, it also had the 1 on 1 game that gave us the most character developments while in S2 we haven't reached that far and only have half of the story and that half is mostly setting up the climax for S3 so of course it's not gonna be as good as S1.
I'll give it a solid 8/10.
