Shark 2: The Storm

Chaos, Messy and Bloody but Weirdly Entertaining

So, this season picks up right after the first one ,our guy U Sol and some of his crew are out of jail, trying to live that better, reformed life despite the giant “ex-convict” label hanging over their heads. But of course, life doesn’t play fair.

Here comes Hyun U Yeong, the shady boss of an underground boxing ring for the rich and morally bankrupt. He tries to lure U Sol into fighting there, but U Sol wants no part of it. But things don’t stay peaceful for long. Rich dudes start causing chaos just because they can. Kidnapping, killing, throwing around power like it's confetti. Seriously, it’s like crime is their hobby.

The pacing is wildly fast. Sometimes it feels like one fight just bleeds into another (with plenty of actual blood). Plot-wise, it’s a bit all over the place, but you know what? It’s entertaining. Only 6 episodes, around 25 minutes each – a quick binge that doesn’t ask too much from your brain.

Shoutout to my faves:
Lee Won Jun and Han Seong Yong absolutely carried this for me. And Won Jun’s sister? Loved her too.

▫️Spoiler bit:


.
The part that hit the hardest was when Won Jun went around with that little notebook, apologizing to everyone he hurt. The heartbreak? Real. Some people didn’t accept his apology – and they’re totally valid for that, I wouldn't either– but it still felt so sad from his side. His death hurt more than I expected, especially since it was used mainly to push the revenge arc forward. And then that beautiful moment – U Sol finishing the apology tour, the last name being his own, and saying he’s already forgiven Won Jun.

The ending was actually satisfying – U Sol choosing to keep fighting, but this time in the ring, on his terms. And hey, that little tease at the end with Hyun U Yeong going to jail and meeting Do Hyeon? You know they’re setting up a possible Season 3.

Would I watch Season 3?
Absolutely. Even if I’ve rated both seasons kind of mid, there’s something addictive about the chaos and heart of this series. I’m in it till the end.

Shark 2 is an amazing, don't let the bad reviews fool you

Shark 2 is an amazing, fast-paced follow-up to Shark: The Beginning and a solid adaptation of the original webtoon. The action scenes are intense and well-choreographed, and the story is easy to follow while still being emotionally impactful—some moments may even bring you to tears.

A lot of the negative reviews seem to be due to poor subtitles on certain drama streaming sites. If you're experiencing this, I highly recommend downloading better subtitles from trusted sources online and adding them to the video manually. Once that's fixed, you're in for a great watch.
