After completing the drama, this is what going through my mind: “This drama definitely needs a sequel.”
Terrorist attack
The staged terrorist attack masked as a plane system failure and took away more than 200 lives which majority consist of primary school students. On board, Cha Hoon is one of the school of kids heading to Morocco for a competition.

Every HI-5 they have increase the closeness.

The bad and worst
Just when you thought every thing ended, it is just the beginning of an even bigger power and authority behind. John & Mark is ruthless, but they are not the worst. They are powerful enough to pull the president down from his chair and the entire nation cheer for it.
NIS was forced to shut down which left the few righteous agent no power and rights to further investigate. Dal Geon believe to be killed in the plot bomb which left Hae Ri devastated yet more motivated to find out who is “Samuel”.
Hae Ri went on to investigate as an individual and went on with Jessica. While Dal Geon managed to make his way into the mysterious company, Black Sun, to seek truth.
The open ending left everyone hanging. Good news is, the production team announce that there is a possibility of Season 2.
