Ah, Season 2 of that rollercoaster hit, huh? We just can’t help but get sucked into the drama, can we? So, Picture this: Detective Jun-ho, our intrepid hero, is out there chasing down the elusive mystery island where all those intense games unfold. He’s got a crew with him, led by the oh-so-questionable Captain Park—who, as we find out in Episode 7, is about as innocent as a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I mean, come on, can we ever trust a guy toting around a drone? And let’s not even get started on the gut-wrenching moments when Gi-hun’s best buddy, Jung-bae, meets a tragic end at the hands of The Front Man. Talk about a downer! Where’s the closure, people? We’re left hanging, knowing Gi-hun is still clueless about Player 001 and the fate of that doomed boat crew. It’s enough to make you throw your remote across the room! So, grab your popcorn and settle in, because things are about to get pretty wild! For a deeper dive into this intriguing season, LEARN MORE.
The subplot sees Detective Jun-ho attempting to find the mystery island where the games take place by traveling by boat with a crew of men led by Captain Park.
In Episode 7 — aka the final episode of Season 2 — we learn that the captain is actually not as innocent as he seems after he kills one of the crew members who catches him toying with the drone they’ve used to capture footage of their discoveries.
Season 2 ends with the heartbreaking murder of Gi-hun’s best friend, Jung-bae, who is shot by The Front Man in order to punish Gi-hun for leading the rebellion.
However, Season 2 concludes with no actual resolution to any of the big story arcs. For example, Gi-hun does not find out that Player 001 is actually the Front Man, and we do not see what happens on the boat after the aforementioned crew member is killed.
