An old man begins to lose his short term memory, and is completely unable to remember things that have just been said. When playing a game against another character, he asks for things to be repeated. This other character lies about how the game is going in order to win.
There are several times where a character is tricked/betrayed by someone they trust.

A dead fish is cut at a market for food, nothing bad really and there's fish that have died in a bowl when he visits an apartment to look for his brother but nothing terrible. The series is brillant and coming from someone who's overly sensitive to animals dying most of you should be ok! I recommend

About halfway through the episode, Number 28 (a solider) confronts Number 29 (Jun-Ho in disguise) before their dive to deliver the harvested organs to the buyers about suspicions he is not who he says he is. After Jun-Ho demands answers about the previous night’s victim’s identity, Number 28 says that it was a girl. When Jun-Ho is not convinced, Number 28 says that all the soldiers “took turns having sex with her” beforehand. (It’s unclear if she would have been conscious or not since she was significantly injured in the day’s game.)

The comments about player 299 are about a scene from the reality show and NOT about season 2.

Episode 7 is not safe.
At minute 4:59, someone on the boat v*.
It announces itself. The man gags in his sleep (starts at 4:39) and then runs to the railing outside. It is only a few seconds until 5:05.

In episode 2, an older lady makes fun of a trans character asking “are they a woman or a man?” and “men are men and women are women”. This is, however, treated as bad as her son corrects her behavior. It is worth pointing out, however.

None that are shown, but a character implies that she was sexually assaulted by her father when she was a child

S1E4: Sex scene in a restroom.
S1E7: Lot's of naked people, but with full body painting, so there's not much to see. In the same episode there's also a naked man to see from behind.

It is revealed that a character’s wife was pregnant and that they tried to convince her to abort it because she has an illness and needs a transplant but she refuses and says she will give birth even if it kills her. It is not shown in a bad nor a good light, but it is mentioned.

No one drowns, but several people are dumped into the ocean after being killed, and there's a scene where they pull a corpse out of the ocean
