Poor Communication Kills
 The Soldiers / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Downplayed but the Bravo, Charlie and Delta leaders do not speak Korean, limiting communication between them and their teammates, which sometimes can delay the overall missions. Delta team has Lee Kang-woo at least who is able to speak fluently in both Korean and English and helps to communicate between Wil and the others quickly during the missions.

Fire-Forged Friends: The members of each team, particularly Alpha and Bravo, become close to each other and to their team leader despite coming from different military branches. There is even a photo showing Alpha team meeting up and having a meal together after the first season was done.

Shirtless Scene: Depending on the mission, the agents have removed their tops due to mud or water to prevent their clothes from hindering their performances.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Kim Chang-wan is the only one who notices that the teams were sleeping in a bunker that could be sealed and filled with water. The second mission has them escape from the bunker as water is quickly pouring in. Later on, despite only been given 1/4 of the map for a mission, Chang-wan is able to deduce a rough outline of the floors based off the map and photos of the building they were given. Hong Beom-seok also realizes in the CQC mission that they were told to deactivate the bomb on the hostage on 12F but he notes there is actually 20 floors in the building, leading him to suspect there would be extra missions. He is right.

Badass in a Nice Suit: KDIC agents Go In-ho and Kim Yeong-cheol arrive on the first day wearing suits, surprising the other agents who initially thought they were idols. Go In-ho shows his mettle as he runs with a 30kg bag in his suit and manages to make it to sixth place in the first mission.

Determinator: Many of the soldiers go through many physical hardships and struggles during the missions but refuse to give up and continue with completing the mission, even if they don't reach first place like they originally hoped for. Kim Yeong-hwan failed the rope climbing event a few times but refused to stop trying and managed to succeed in ringing the bell eventually. In the last mission, he was the last one standing in Team Bravo but he continued to push forward with his best efforts until the very end. During the uphill trek mission, Go In-ho carries two 30kg bags, almost his own weight, on two occasions so Team Charlie could have a chance to catch up.
