I loved the first season...

I must make it absolutely clear that I have no intention of dropping this series. I'm being honest, though, when I say that I loved the original, but I found this first episode of the second season completely lacking. There was no character. I wasn't expecting intrigue or a deep plot at this point (it's the first episode), but when the central conflict of the episode is who cut, burned, or otherwise unfastened a rope than any living human could easily step over, I find myself not giving a hoot. I will pursue it because the first season is some of the best television I've ever had the privilege of watching, but seriously, this first episode was just...banal.

Dazzling

Dazzling, as usual, it was worth the over three-year wait. Having Lee Chang Joon’s voiceover to start the episode was just brilliant. A reminder that the road to justice is long and rife with political tension. And, of course, where there is a crime to be solved, there is Hwang Shi Mok. I love it. I enjoy how he meticulously observes, sizes up a situation before questioning or jumping to conclusions. It’s good to see Bae Doo Na back as Han Yeo Jin, love her with long hair and Detective Jang. I love seeing them all at work; they click intuitively. It’s always great to see a woman in roles typically given to men and Jeon Hye Jin at that. I cannot wait to see what she brings to this show as the police and ever-powerful prosecution office fight over independent investigative authority. I’ve always thought it quite weird how the prosecution has sole jurisdiction. So, I am interested to see how this fight will go down and how it will affect Shi Mok and Yeo Jin’s fight against injustice. I am already all the way in on this one!
