What did you think of his transformation? Did you forgive him by the end? Seok-woo in Train to Busan – The best

After the villainous Yon-suk causes Sang-hwa’s death and later infects himself, Seok-woo gets bitten protecting Soo-an and the pregnant Mi-jeong. And then comes the final 5 minutes – no dialogue, just Seok-woo smiling through tears as he remembers holding his newborn daughter, before jumping off the train. 🖤 What did you think of his transformation

He’s cold, distant with his daughter Soo-an, and even tells her not to give up her seat for an elderly lady (survival of the fittest mentality). When the outbreak starts, he pulls strings to get them separated from the main crowd at Daejeon – caring only about their survival, not others.

Let’s talk about Seok-woo (Gong Yoo), the hedge fund manager who starts Train to Busan as a selfish, work-obsessed father and ends as one of the most heartbreaking heroes in horror history.
