This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The episode begins with exactly the same scene as the last episode ended. Choo-Sang-Woo shouts his plan so loudly, the enemy team shouldn't be suprised at all. Of course the last two rounds of the tug-of-war game are skipped, beacause no protagonist is involved into it.
This episode also concludes the organ-dealer subplot, wich is so stupid. Making the masked henchmen corrupted and emotionally expressive really takes away from the fear they should cause. They should have been handled like horror film villains, no emotion, nothing human to them.… Expand
