3. Great Escape Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2 Story Review

Episode 1, "The Grave," began with the members who were locked in the lab solving the password to escape, and then taking a time machine to the 1900s. The occult elements, such as a shaman's ritual, a scene of someone bleeding and collapsing, and an underground tomb and a mural clue, were further strengthened. In particular, Baekhyun's wit and Yoo Byung-jae's deductive skills stood out in the first episode of the season, but some viewers left disappointing comments, saying, "The editing was a bit loose."

 

In episode 2, the room of King Hyosu appears, and the warning, “Those who covet will be beheaded,” maximizes the tension. In a trap where one must choose between an iron cage and a door, Yoo Byung-jae escapes the crisis by accurately interpreting the meaning of the Chinese characters. The message that appears at the end, “Those who gain power will surely pay the price,” seems to be a key foreshadowing of the entire season’s narrative.

 

 

4. Final Decryption and Season Development

The final message of Episode 2, “Those who gain power will surely pay the price,” has become a hot topic among viewers. There is much speculation that this phrase will be connected to the ending of the entire Season 5 story. In particular, this season is foreshadowing a complex mystery structure with keywords such as “time machine,” “grave digging,” and “occult mission.”

 

 

5. Viewing Points and Expectations

This season features an 11-episode series of immersive plots based on occult horror themes. The performances of Baekhyun, Yeo Jin-goo, and Go Kyung-pyo, as well as the cinematic directing, are some of the highlights.
