Zero

This is gonna be really short because I don’t have a lot of thoughts about Zero.

OG:

He was a significant part of the family, and of the story in general. He didn’t talk much, but he was around.

HoD:

They seemed to just completely forget that he existed. He was gone the majority of the time past S2-E4 without a single mention of him.

Z

OG:

Very loyal to Semo, nice, cheerful, a valued member of the family.

HoD:

Hansu.

Limo

OG:

He loves his son. It’s very obvious. Overall, he’s just generally very affectionate and caring towards his son.

At one point in the movie (that’s not officially posted by Retrobot, but I couldn’t find any official uploads, I’m so sorry guys), he tried to swim across a bay(?) to get to Semo.

At around the end of the time he was held captive by Angela in s14, all he could think of while trying to escape with the spoon (at least in the English dub) was getting home to Semo.

HoD:

If I’m not mistaken (I saw someone online talk about this scene and translate the Korean version, but idk if it’s accurate), in S1-E3, Limo said to Semo something about “It was hard for you too when I was gone” (while trying to argue that bringing Hansu to their house was a good idea).

And here, if you need a reminder on how different OG-s14 Semo and S1-P1 Hansu’s situations are

The main similarities include:

Both having a broken leg

Both their dads being absent

The main differences include:

Hansu’s dad was gone because he was being treated in the hospital. Meanwhile, s14 Limo was KIDNAPPED AND FRAMED and Semo immediately had to fight to find him and prove his innocence when he got his cast off.

Hansu was mostly alone because his friends were on a trip he couldn’t go on due to his injury, and his mom was always busy. Semo was alone because almost nobody believed him (other than Z, but he doesn’t count) and it’s only around the end that Dingyo finally joins him.

And I know Hansu suffered too, but his situation cannot be compared to Semo’s. That’s genuinely just not fair to Semo at all.

So, summary: HoD!Limo, at least in this scene (which, I’m not even sure the translation is accurate), seems very ungrateful towards his son’s efforts and doesn’t care that he’s oversimplifying/undermining Semo’s traumatic experience in s14.

And generally, Limo just... isn’t as caring and affectionate with Semo.

And also in S1-E3, at the start, Limo gets weirdly aggressive at Semo when Semo’s prosthetic was going haywire (Idk if I’m just sensitive, but I feel like Limo was really harsh when he told Semo to focus and control the hand. I feel like OG!Limo would be kinder and tell Semo to focus gently and assure him that it’s not his fault.)

In general, I feel like HoD Limo chose others over Semo one too many times.

Semo

Can I be honest? I absolutely love the route they took with Semo’s personality in HoD. He was kind of a pushover and really passive unless he’s playing responsible big bro for Hansu, and I like that. I like softie Semo.

What I don’t like was the way they completely took away his bond with his dad.

Semo’s whole character, at least in the OG, can be roughly summed up in two concepts:

His love for his dad

His love for helping people, even at the cost of his own safety

So to take away his admiration towards Limo, is to erase what is essentially half of his character.

Not only that, but he also lost a lot of the genuine bonds he had with most of his friends. They treated Semo horribly IMO, especially in S1-P1. Nobody gave him the kindness and patience they expected him to give Hansu.
