"You are not that kind of person..."
Wow, that's quite the penultimate episode. Yes, we can see the pieces moving together for the finale, as Jun-ho, No-eul's erstwhile companion and, most dramatically, No-eul herself all get closer to their goal. Meanwhile, the VIPs continue to act as an evil chorus, hopefully leading to their much-deserved comeuppance.
But the game... oh boy! Last episode the remaining six players formed a pact against Ji-hun, the baby and its father... but it's not so simple. The game consists of having to push at least one person off each of three pillars, which sounds simple... but the six can't afford to push more than one other person off per pillar, or one of them must die. And that means problems. How to separate Ji-hun and the baby? How to push someone off without being taken with them? It's truly gripping drama.
Interestingly, Ji-hun's rather successful divide-and-conquer tactics all derive from his morality- shown here as a strength, not a weakness. He won't kill during the night, when he can. He recoils with disgust at the violence shown by the amoral players to the "lunchbox". And he'll do anything for the baby... perhaps somewhat counterbalancing the fact that, let us not forget, he's a terrible father.
And so the six perish. And then there were two men and a baby...
Ji-hun morals. Won't kill at start, protect baby good father,
