Plot holes upon plot holes upon plot holes

mysterious disappearance of Won bin, near unlimited supply of depleted uranium bullets, prisoners alive without food and water for a month, aliens who decimated entire battalions of soldiers getting massacred by barely trained students & finally a dude who went manic not cause of war but rather due to CSAT and decides to massacre all of his friends. I don't know what to say... The first season had plot holes but was enjoyable. But this second part is a mess in every sense. Only thing i can praise are the graphics and the acting of the actor. Actors really did an amazing job. Music in this drama was a bad match for the theme of the story.

Good Enough

Korean Drama "Duty After School Part Two" is the continuation and conclusion of the story.

The drama takes up from where the first part left off, even though it feels like the characters had gone through a major character development, as they are left alone to fend for themselves, while having to choose between staying at their protected spot or venturing out to find their families.

The story, moreover, presents a new twist, with the main villain, in the end, and the main danger being the students themselves rather than the aliens that have now taken over.

As for the characters, they really grew up and distinguished themselves, with their relationship offering plenty of emotional scenes, especially considering that they are just young people robed from their chance of living their teenage years.

Finally, the performances were pretty enjoyable.

However, the ending was rushed and didn't offer any information for what happened next.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

Not bad but not good

While waiting for this to be released, I was expecting it to have a good and happy ending but it ended up being so sad that I could never watch properly. My anger could never go any higher than it is when Yoong Su did all that. During the first three eps of this, I thought that he already changed his views but still, he values CSAT more than anything else. I know that he feels like that because he wants to be able to succeed but, if he did not do that, maybe he'll be able to do it. It's a very frustrating ending and the very last part of the last ep made me tear up. It must be nice if that was the real ending and not just a memory of the past. Still, the overall rating is 7.5 because the show is still good despite of what they did. I'm just glad that Kim Chi was alive..

Part 2 was awkward and rushed

Loved part 1, hated part 2. Me and my husband watched it together and we had to push ourselves to finish it. We couldn't focus anymore cuz of the bad storyline and the ending is just a f*u to all the viewers.

The time skip between pt1 (ep6) and pt2 (ep7) is odd but i guess a normal thing to do in drama's to begin a new part. What's really odd to me is that the army guy kim won bin (lee soon won) just dissappeared with no explanation. None of the other military people seemed to take part of this war anymore. The storyline of just having the kids fight was awkward and pushed way to much to make sense. Also they never explained what happened to literally everyone else in south korea, to not even speak abt the rest of the world. Why did nobody ever come to help them?

The ending is also just really dumb and rushed, literally all the character development and everything was for nothing. They tried to throw all the plot twists possible in there and during that lost their effect. And then also everything ending with them not even receiving any honor or credit for all their work and sacrifice? People even protesting so they won't get honor and credit for their work? I feel like they were trying with this ending to show how f* up the SK mindset is toward education/college but to me it just was way to forced. SK people are also about honor and pride for military but that just got shoved aside to force this storyline. It's just so far from reality it didn't make sense.

It shows that the writer/producers just wanted to have a twist at the end but didn't exactly know what and went with this. This drama had so much potential and it all went to waste in part 2.

Why?

I was a huge fan of the first part of Duty After School and had high hopes for Part 2. The characters and story had me hooked from the beginning. However, as I got into Part 2, my excitement turned into disbelief and frustration, especially when it came to the ending. The conclusion left me bewildered, it felt rushed and lacked clarity. I couldn't help but wonder why the creators made such decisions.

The first part of the series had gathered a substantial fanbase, and there was so much potential for Part 2 to build upon that success. Instead, it left many fans, including myself, feeling unsatisfied and longing for more. It's weird to think that the creators might have believed that this ending would make the series a hit. It seemed as if they wanted to wrap up the story hastily, leaving us with numerous unresolved questions.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the ending was the lack of a proper explanation. We were abruptly told, 'All the monsters are gone now. Everything is fine again,' without any context or closure. It left us hanging, wondering about the fate of the (left alive) characters.. It's as if a critical part of the story was missing, and we were left to fill in the gaps ourselves.

(Let’s also not forget how they just forgot about one of the Sargent characters. Where was he?)

!Spoiler!

And the most frustrating aspect of the ending was the abrupt and seemingly unnecessary loss of nearly all the characters. It happened so fast that it left me in shock and disbelief. These characters, whom I had grown attached to throughout the series, deserved better. It felt like their deaths were rushed and lacked the emotional depth and significance they deserved.

The sudden and widespread character deaths further contributed to the sense that the creators were trying to tie up loose ends quickly, without giving proper consideration to the impact it would have on the story and the viewers. It was a disheartening turn of events that left a bitter taste in my mouth.

!Spoiler end!

In the end, I can't help but feel disappointed, and it seems I'm not alone in this Statement. The series had so much potential, and it's disheartening to see it end this way. I've even found myself speculating that perhaps it was all a dream of that one character, desperately trying to make sense of the unresolved plot threads.

Ultimately, I wish the creators had taken more time and care to create a more satisfying and meaningful ending, one that would have done justice to the fantastic characters and story they had built over the course of the series. A part 3 could solve it but so far it doesn’t seem like we’ll get one.

The rest of the episode takes a huge turn and serves a lot of frightening moments. It really wants to give us a dark moment, precision of doubt, and question ourselves why we watched part 1 and watching this other side, part 2.

And the ending, I wish they made both happy and sad endings. I like how it gives a different ending twist to hurt the viewer and destroy their hope for them and as a typical viewer, I hate it.

Overall, if you're satisfied with one sad ending of part 1, don't hurt and force yourself to watch this. But I still recommend it as it's really different from other author/dramas/movies that wanted to please their viewer with scenes and endings. ~2

For me worth watch !

Drama was good the 1st part blown my mind. I also think that there were some parts missing or kinda incomplete story or their were some loop holes to it . Like they havent show anything about the kids they rescued and woo bin. Also how they found there operation base themselves so that was a big gap there but bro acting, awesome I never left like watching a acted show. Good drama but the ending , uh killing em all was so sad bro ? that was totally unexpected like I was like uhh how they will end this a happy or sad or suspense with another season / part but it was totally unexpected broo ☠️ still I m happy I watched it the friendship they had, the bond was so ?

Every thing has an ending and we after sweet home (webtoon) I expected this one

I am not a huge fan of shit hits the fan in the last episode ending. and I also think part 2 shouldn't have been separated from part one and that it could have been better.

That being said. This drama was from episode one a direct attack on the school system and college entrance exam. It had a message and was committed to it. The happening was not "spheres falling" but "exam points being offered". They never made an effort to study, analyze, or inspect the monsters beyond what was needed on site. So beating and solving the issue was never the solution.

I do agree with the idiocy of the adults and was baffled to see parents still caring about the exams; however, I wasn't surprised. The show didn't give us an ounce of hope that the kids will make it (no survivors scenes or experiments and labs like all of us are dead). Is this a good ending? Not really. Is it a bad one? Not necessarily. Would I still recommend it? Yes! If I go back in time would I not watch part 2? Part 2 wasn't bad it was a continuation of part 1 plot, the plot wouldn't change and the ending make sense in that case.
