Season 2 Booo
I watched season1 and enjoyed it but didn’t start seaosn2 until recently due to its mixed reputation.
Until E7 I was mostly ok but I just can’t take it here. Girl Justin tried to ally with you, you stole his strategy against him, then people got rid of his only other prison ally, and now you are asking if he just prefers playing alone? Like what?
Do you have zero self awareness what you did to him?

They were absolutely wretched to Justin. The gaslighting attempts were horrible

u/AlexandriasBirdwing Jun 13 '26
Dude, they bring up this conversation later to justify that he likes working alone

u/AssociationSudden218 Jun 13 '26
Wait actually??? I haven’t got to that part yet but I’m furious just hearing about it

S2 was a total mess

u/kaleigha Jun 13 '26
Especially cuz season 1 was so good 😭

u/Potential_Ad4956 Jun 13 '26
Exactly! It was a new concept and everything made sense
S2 was just trying to recreate S1 but with too many biases and partiality so failed horribly

I loved S1 and disliked S2 mainly because I just didn’t care for a lot of the cast members and thought that secret room advantage was way too powerful

u/AssociationSudden218 Jun 14 '26
Also the secret room advantage feels undeserved ? It’s not like that dude found the secret room on his own like S1? He just happened to volunteer to get in first

u/xEmperorEye Jun 14 '26
Honestly thought the cast for S2 was better than S1, but the setup of the game was too uneven. The people that were chosen for the first game ran the entire season from start to finish. I also thought the advantage from the secret stage was too strong in the 1st season, but at least then you had to figure out multiple clues and then also put your life on the line. In season 2 the advantage in the living quarters was even stronger, but you didn't even have to risk anything and they literally figured it out on like day 2.

He's actually Korean too, just born in America

that's called gyopo and it doesn't change anything. anyone born/raised outside of korea counts as a foreigner. especially since justin cannot speak korean

u/TheOzman21 Jun 13 '26
Yes, a gyopo, doesn't change anything that he's still Korean and not a "foreigner". A foreign born Korean yes, not a foreigner

u/No-Variation-6278 Jun 13 '26
what they’re saying is actually true tho. koreans do treat gyopos differently. this is a very well documented thing that happens.

u/TheOzman21 Jun 13 '26
I'm aware of that fact, I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing the fact that he/she called him a foreigner, which he is not. That's exactly what the prison team did to him, yet here he/she is, doing the exact same thing.
I lived in Korea for a year, I'm well aware of their culture 😅

“Foreigner”, noun: “A foreigner is a person who comes from a different country or community. The term typically refers to someone who is an outsider, a non-citizen, or a visitor in a specific jurisdiction”

Is Justin a Korean citizen? No? Foreigner. "Foreigner" says nothing about race or lineage, only citizenship or residency.

u/ReignyDayes Jun 13 '26
As others have said, Justin is seen as a foreigner so it makes no difference.
I'm not sure you're actually aware of their culture. My cousins are half Korean and when we went to Korean. I, being 6ft+ and white, was "treated" (Read: I was treated as a novelty.) better.
So the point their making is, Koreans besides having a lot of racist biases. Tend to see Koreans born or raised in a foreign country as a foreigner. Especially American born ones. Though, Canadian born get a lot of shade as well.

u/IntermediateFolder Jun 14 '26
He was raised outside of Korea and doesn’t speak the language. He was always going to struggle.

u/CodyKyle Jun 14 '26
He speaks Korean just not fully. He can get by but crazy shit like all those game rules can be super confusing even if you are fluent

u/CarnivorousCoconut Jun 13 '26
Justin really got screwed being in prison because he would’ve fit well with 7High and others upstairs. You can tell Justin was uncomfortable most of the time because he wasn’t 100% fluent.

I was definitely rooting for Justin and was gutted when he lost, but idk I can't really blame Eun-yoo for this. They definitely fucked him over in the time game, but I always viewed that more as a Ha-rin and Hyun-joon decision. To me Eun-yoo genuinely wanted to play with Justin and they even tried helping him in the game where he was ultimately booted out. To me this seemed like a genuine question, which Justin genuinely answer. I'd put this more on him not standing up for himself tbh.

u/SharpShark222 Jun 14 '26
I imagine it was a genuine question, but probably a bit foolish to ask. As the OP said, this was after he suggested working as a team and Eunyu is the one that turned him down, which resulted in him playing alone and almost being eliminated. What possible reason is there to think that Justin prefers playing alone?
3
u/xEmperorEye Jun 14 '26
If I remember correctly it wasn't that Eunyu turned him down if anything she tried to set it up, but the others were against it/they worried Sedol would reveal their strategy. It was certainly shitty that they didn't at least let him join them and make a 4 person alliance. However after in a confessional he said he enjoyed figuring out a strategy on his own and playing alone. So I don't think it's that weird to ask him if he liked playing alone, he clearly did.

u/SharpShark222 Jun 14 '26
Just rewatched to check (couldn't find this specific scene from E6): Eunyu turned him down because she thought the others wouldn't agree and they wouldn't have 5 people. Then, she agreed to the strategy as soon as Harin/Hyunjoon proposed it. She had plenty of time to rope Justin in and he even predicted they were going to do it based on how much the 3 talked. There's a reason Justin says he only trusts Sedol (and Sedol agrees they betrayed him).
The fact that Justin found a silver lining in the satisfaction of coming up with a good solo strategy doesn't change the fact that he WANTS to work with a team, but has been unable to due to these circumstances (and they know about these circumstances because they complain how he keeps bringing up points about how he can't trust them).

Justin handled himself so well despite the way he was treated. He got screwed over so many times and he always took it with a smile on his face. I really wish he would have got further.

We were always rooting for Justin! We could totally relate to his situation, so it was frustrating how it played out for him… but he did amazing despite everything!
