“Because the plot lacks appeal, the only thing left in viewers' minds are the brutal scenes. The introductory episodes (episodes 1, 2) of season 3 are especially violent, which can make the series tiring to watch," wrote the Korean newspaper.
However, the media said that from episode 5 onwards, the film will bring a new and more interesting perspective when the trio Eun Hyuk, Eun Yoo and Hyun Soo reunite. In addition, the improved visual effects (VFX) compared to the previous season are also worth noting.
