SPOILER ALERT: who read the book?

I haven't read the book myself, but I've come across some discussions online about it. From what I gather, the book's storyline seems to be quite detailed and closely followed. Just yesterday, I realized that Mozasu was the one seen opening the slot room. This revelation made me start wondering about Noa's whereabouts, and I began to speculate that he might have passed away. After searching online, it appears that Noa might have committed suicide after his mother went looking for him. He was reportedly almost denying his Korean identity because those around him thought he was Japanese.

So, I guess we might see his death in the drama—do you think four episodes will be enough to cover that? Also, I was curious about Hansu, and it seems he will die as well. In the first season, there was talk of his interference in Sunja and Mozaasu's lives even after the war.

Can anyone who has read the book provide some insight into what might happen next? I’m having trouble understanding the direction the drama is taking. With all these developments and revelations, I’m curious about how closely the show will follow the book’s storyline and what to expect in terms of plot twists and character fates

Hi, I read the book a while back but the details are a little fuzzy now. I haven't started this season yet so I can't really provide any insight to what may happen next because I don't know what they've covered. It's also important to note that the book is in chronological while the drama is obviously not, which I think makes it a bit confusing at times.

I want to provide a little insight into Noa because he's a character that can easily be misunderstood. Noa was deeply affected about finding out his real father was Koh Hansu as he had always looked up to Isak (his adoptive father). Isak was a find upstanding citizen, unlike Hansu who is involved with the yakuza. He later disappears and pretends to be Japanese, but his issues aren't with his Korean identity (that Solomon's issues). When Sunja locates him after several years, he kills himself.

As for Hansu, he stays involved in Sunja's life I think because he has feelings for her. Whether it's guilt or love, I don't know. I don't remember if he dies or not, but if he does it's towards the end of the book.

Anyway, I'm gonna have to binge watch season 2 soon so I can see what they changed.
