Since the SP already implied that the corrupt politician who had been the bane for our pair of detective and profiler finally had their crimes revealed, it makes you wonder what else for our heroes to do. But it turned out that we still have the the underlings of the corrupt politicians and a whole new kind of villain. So I guess that's enough to set the stage for Oyama and Saegusa to work together again, as the SP left us with yet another cliffhanger.
So this time it was murders via poisonous gas and terrorism. A whole new story unconnected to the original kdrama plot. I guess they decided to base the movie plot to something that's familiar to the Japanese audience, cos the moment I see the mention of a poison gas and terrorism, I immediately thought about a Sarin gas attack that I once read in the news. And Jdramas really do love to reuse the plotwist about Public Safety being full of dark secrets.
Overall, it's a fine movie. It kinda took me a while to get used to seeing a much more excitable Oyama in the special and movie compared to the drama, but I guess with Oyama already getting fond of the adult Saegusa and his younger self I can't really blame Oyama to be super happy about being able to work together again with him.
There are some parts that I likes and some I didn't like, but the movie was quite decent. It's cool that BTS still contribute a song for the movie's ending cos I thought they just gonna reuse Don't Leave Me or something. We still got yet another cliffhanger--our faves can't seem to be able to meet properly--but that set a possibility of another sequel. Wishful thoughts, haha. Like I think I used to hear that there's a possibility for the kdrama to get a sequel after so long, so I guess they wanted to keep the open end to allow for such possibilities.
