The show creator actually said that originally they were trying to find a trans actress to play the role, but because being trans is still not very accepted in South Korea there are close to no actors that are openly trans. It could also be quite dangerous for a trans person to be playing a role like that and putting themselves in the spotlight, because it could result in them facing a lot of discrimination. It's an unfortunate reality, but I think they still handled this storyline well and it's still a huge step forward in terms of trans representation in South Korea.
I'm sad that the cop story line this season is just kinda there. Last season, his perspective gave us a lot of insight into what was happening behind the scenes, but now, he's just going in circles trying to find the island that he wasn't able to find for 2 years. I wish they gave him more to do, especially with the bad ass ex Special Forces crew on his side. But we'll see, maybe there will be a point to them in future episodes.
tbf i think it’s setting up for season 3. They couldn’t just have them find the games so easily, They also needed to explain why he could never find the island. I think they get more scenes than they should but in general it served a story purpose for why these games remained hidden. I think S3 is going to be stressful on both fronts

So shoehorn someone with an identity that isn't even realistic in that environment? lol Pathetic.
Hyun Ju (the trans woman) is literally the best new character this season, love her so much and what she added to the story
