There are lobsters towards the end. The show doesn't go into detail with their deaths, it is not like a sadistic lobster horror show, but they arrive alive and soon after the best way of cutting them is discussed and performed.

i’m only on the first episode, you do not see an animal being killed or the like but you do see a whole dead piglet in the kitchen which is quite awful to see. there’s also a lot of focusing on other whole dead animals like fish or chicken.

At one point in a fight someone breaks a bowl on his own head, which does frighten his opponents but also gives him a headache.

Sadly, just as the show was doing ... okay ... the last episode has all the "Fat people in love is ridiculous", "Fat people are cute at best". It's not a long scene, but disappointing.

But right in the middle of ep. 7, we have direct eye contact with the gangster, Chil-Sung. And then with Pung.
This eye contact thing happens a few times, actually.
