If you loved the 1st season, you're gonna love this one too!
Don't expect too much! The 2nd season doesn't really offer more than the 1st, the casting is still good, the action is even better now, but the story is still average at best!What I loved about the 1st season is missing from here, and that's the time period. Even tho, I loved the first season more, I think the second one deserve the same score, because it's not worst, it's just nothing new.
Honestly, when I first heard the new season will take place in the present, I already knew how it's gonna end and what's gonna happen, and I was right. From start to finish, it was predictable. This is like a typical Marvel movie, average, BUT enjoyable and fun, but you won't think about it too much after you finished it.
I think the big problem with the series is that they have a fascinating story with a meaningful message, but just like in every blockbuster movie, they don't really care about that, it's more about the action than the meaning behind the story. They talk about the importance of life and stuff, but don't really show it to us.
Sohee and Seojoon are still amazing, what you can see is an acting masterclass, but I'm not sure if this show can offer more.
Also, I didn't like the ending. I mean, if we will get a 3rd season, I don't get why they had to finish Chae Ok and Tae Sang's story like that, because it's obvious what's gonna happen to them in the next season.
Not to mention the cliffhanger. Honestly, I'm intrigued how they would handle a story like that, but after watching 2 seasons, I'm not sure if I want to see it with the same writer.
Anyway, like I said, if you liked the 1st season, the 2nd won't disappoint you, probably, but if you want more from a show than average with good action scenes, then you have to watch something else!

Same poor creature design, just more of them
There is some good cinematography and some decent neo noir shots, but there's really nothing spectacular in its storytelling, and yet they still have the nerves to continue this mediocrity for another season. It's basically the same fashion reuse again in a different setting, which has really poor context leading to those fight scenes, it's totally a waste of effort from all those talented actors, like we just had the amazing Parasyte: The Grey this year and then they showed us this, seriously.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointment
I was completely disappointed after seeing the season-2. Story depth, build-up, details, explanation, motive more or less everything was lacking. Over predictable story. It seemed that they could have made it somehow and released it. After a while, I didn't understand where the black masked ninja was coming from. I don't know if they are monsters or people.The only positive aspect is the fighting scenario .
The finish looked like another season might be on the way.
Personal rating: 5/10

SAME STORY, DIFF YEAR
As a geong seong creature Kdrama lover I'd highly admit that this season was a filler. A pure filler. There's nothing that made sense everything felt left out, stretched & extended. Was eagerly waiting for S2 but the disappointed is genuine. I absolutely love the main leads & their love story & was hoping to see more of it.I feel like even the most side character in S1 for eg. the japanese artist, the tailor, the 3 people of the HOUSE OF GOLDEN TREASURE, Han so hee's father, lady Mayda's husband- had their own story. All characters were likeable & presentable. In S2 i still don't know who the oldest grandmaa was (which i thought was lady Mayda)?? Who's the police girl??? who's the new friend of tae sang rn??? who's this new disabled polio guy??? who's his Grandma??? who's the lil girl beside Lady Mayda's son? idk if she has a daughter??
i was so so disappointed by the plot. Heavily unnecessary!!
I feel like the best Kdrama are the once which leave you wanting for more but never release S2
eg. 25 21 (despite the ending viewer would still want S2 but it will just end up the essence 25 21 had) that's the reason why we shouldn't over exploit the story!!
The Fuck bro I could have written a much better story 😭😭😭
For all the people wondering whether to watch it or not- pls don't. Watch a summary on youtube. don't waste 4 hrs watching this.

Entertaining!
I really enjoyed both seasons and thought it was written well and wrapped up everything nicely. Interesting plot overall that I hadn't seen before in other shows. The actors were great! I don't have any complaints and it was worth watching in my opinion. If you like scifi/mystery, then you will enjoy this.Was this review helpful to you?

Need a third season
A worthy second season. Park Seo-Joon shined again. I love him in this role of Jang Tae-Sang. You can never have enough seasons of a series that you are excited about. But when the story is finished, you should accept this too. But here I think that this story isn't quite complete yet and needs a third and final season. We also wish the main characters a happy ending. Of course, there isn't always a happy ending. But these two Jang Tae-Sang and Yoon Chae- Ok are really wishful after going through all that. The end credits also give hope for a season 3. I can't imagine Jang Tae-Sang just accepting what Seung-Jo is up to. Or I just have to accept this endingWas this review helpful to you?

The First Rule of Fight Club is You Don't Talk About Fight Club
Not really my favorite type of Kdrama. But if you want to see Park Seo Joon get the s#@t beat out of him every other scene, then this is the drama for you. Same for Han So Hee. It was an action-packed fantasy thriller where the main star were the highly choreographed and graphic fight scenes. I rated this fairly high because I can appreciate the production value and the enormous amount of stunt work that had to go in to all the fight scenes. The acting was superb, The story line, both part 1 and 2 were well written, and the ending (the extra ending past the credits) was sublime. I was not expecting that at all! I also enjoyed seeing Kim Kang Min, a contestant on Physical 100, playing a guest role in it.The only thing for me that I didn't like was all the fighting which came with lots of blood, and all the crunching and breaking sounds (kudos to the sound engineer). It was just too much. However, I realize it would not be the same without. it. It was a good Kdrama, just not my cup of tea. Out of the two parts, I enjoyed part one better. I enjoyed the historical sets and costumes. There also seemed to be more story than fighting. But, again, this is an action fantasy thriller, and it definitely lived up to that.

Another Disappointment
I thought I'd give this series another try, hoping that the team would do a better job this time. Episode 1 & 2 got me quite excited. I dropped this series after Episode 3. What's wrong with writers these days... Please don't insult your viewer intelligence time and times again. Would any sane person willing to make an appointment with an unknown sadistic serial killer in a desolate place without bringing any kind of weapon or camera to take footage for evidence? Also the said police that tailing them, where were they? Or does the writer thinks that South Korea have such an incompetent police department? Really writer? Really?Was this review helpful to you?
A História não dorme. Ela volta. E cobra.
Se a primeira parte me conquistou pela costura entre o horror e a História, a segunda... me prendeu pelo fio emocional que ainda estava por costurar.A continuação entrega mais do que monstros. Ela nos leva direto ao porão do que ficou mal resolvido: a dor do passado, a ferida da ocupação, e o que sobra quando a sobrevivência vira modo de existência. O ritmo acelera, os dilemas se aprofundam, e os personagens que já eram fortes crescem ainda mais — não em força física, mas em peso humano.
O que me tocou foi como a série usa a ficção pra lembrar que certas cicatrizes não são visíveis, mas moldam gerações. Tem ação, tem suspense, mas tem também uma pergunta que ficou na minha cabeça:
O que é mais monstruoso — a criatura criada ou quem a criou?
Pra quem, como eu, não é fã de criaturas, mas é amante de histórias bem contadas... essa segunda parte é um lembrete de que vale a pena ir até o fim.
“Nem todo fim é alívio. Alguns são só recomeço de outra luta.”

Não entendi o proposito de mais uma temporada
Acho que gyeongseong creature poderia ter terminado na primeira temporada talvez com mais alguma episódios e essa passagem de tempo, mas de qualquer forma sou contra, achei extremamente triste que ele sofreram tanto mesmo com o final feliz, senti falta ainda de uma introdução ao amigo dele, o avô dele era o carinha lá mas sim? Porque ele ajudou Maeda? O quanto ele sabia? Qual o envolvimento dele nisso tudo?E o final aberto? Acho que não vai ter uma terceira temporada e nem queria vou supor que todo mundo vai morrer e vai ter os que vão conseguir sobreviver, mas e os outros personagens? O amigo dele não voltou a aparecer, o menino com o najin que iria ser preso o que aconteceu? E o capitão sabendo de tudo, tendo visto os monstros? E até o subordinado dele? Enfim, ficou tudo muito rápido e com a conclusão que já esperava.

Action !
Franchement, cette saison 2 de Gyeongseong Creature, c’est un virage qu’on n’avait pas forcément vu venir. Là où la première saison misait sur une ambiance sombre, historique et oppressante dans le contexte de l’occupation japonaise, cette nouvelle saison change complètement de décor et de ton. On passe dans un cadre plus moderne, avec une intrigue qui part dans des directions assez surprenantes.
Visuellement, c’est toujours aussi soigné. Les scènes d’action sont bien foutues, l’ambiance reste prenante et on retrouve avec plaisir les personnages principaux qui restent charismatiques et attachants. Park Seo-joon et Han So-hee sont toujours impeccables et donnent du relief à leurs rôles, même si leurs personnages évoluent dans un univers assez différent de ce qu’on avait connu.
Côté rythme, c’est plus soutenu. On a moins de moments calmes et introspectifs que dans la première saison, et ça enchaîne beaucoup plus vite. Ça peut être à double tranchant : certains vont adorer ce côté plus nerveux et plus spectaculaire, d’autres risquent de trouver que ça part un peu dans tous les sens et que l’émotion est parfois mise de côté au profit de l’action.
Ce qui est sûr, c’est que la série ose tenter quelque chose de nouveau. Elle mélange plusieurs genres — un peu de fantastique, un peu de science-fiction et toujours une bonne dose de mystère — ce qui donne un côté inattendu à l’histoire. Ça déroute un peu au début, mais ça donne aussi envie de voir jusqu’où ça va aller.
En résumé, Gyeongseong Creature saison 2, c’est une suite audacieuse qui change de ton et de rythme. Si vous aviez aimé l’ambiance lourde et historique de la première saison, vous pourriez être surpris. Mais si vous aimez les séries qui osent prendre des risques et offrir de nouvelles directions à leurs personnages, ça reste divertissant et bien réalisé. Pas parfait, mais ça se laisse regarder avec plaisir, surtout si on accepte de lâcher prise sur ce qu’on attendait au départ.

Le passé avait des tripes, le présent manque de souffle...
Alors déjà, le changement d’époque… c’étais audacieux, mais j'ai trouvé ça un poil déroutant. On quitte le Gyeongseong des années 40 pour atterrir en 2024, c’est la grosse bascule. On sent que le but est clair... Il veulent étendre l’univers, relier les vies passées à celles du présent… sauf que sur le moment, jai eu la sensation que c'était plus un “saut dans le vide” qu'un “twist de génie” 😅Retrouver les visages familiers dans un autre temps (Park Seo Joon et Han So Hee en mode réincarnation ✨), c’était intriguant, mais il manquait quelque chose... 🤷🏼♀️ Peut-être l’émotion de la saison 1, ce truc viscéral, s’est un peu diluée ici je trouve... Surtout que leurs souvenirs mettent mille ans à ressurgir 🧠🌀 Et quand c’est enfin le cas… on touche déjà à la fin 🙃
Et parlons-en de la fin 😮💨
Ho Jae, le scientifique du présent, est en réalité… Seishin, la créature du passé... encore en vie, planqué dans un corps humain depuis 80 ans 🤔... Ok, l'idée est originale mais le développement m'a laissé un peu perplexe. J'ai senti la volonté de faire le pont entre les 2 saisons, de poser une nouvelle menace… mais j'ai trouvé que ça manquait de clarté, de tension, et parfois de logique... 😵💫
Le fil rouge, est la connexion entre Tae Sang et Chae Ok 🥹 Quand leurs souvenirs refont surface, y’a une vraie émotion 🫶🏻. C’est poétique, doux-amer, mais là encore, c’étais trop peu... J'aurais voulu plus de scènes fortes, plus de tension, plus de “nous contre le reste du monde” 🔥
Concernant la fin, c’est une fin semi-ouverte, elle est pas frustrante mais je l'ai pas trouvé non plus ultra marquante... 🫣
On sent clairement qu’ils se laissent une porte entrebâillée pour une éventuelle saison 3, avec une nouvelle menace ou une évolution du virus 🦠
Visuellement par contre, rien à dire 👌🏻. La réal est propre, la tension est là, et l’esthétique toujours aussi marquante 👍🏻. Mais niveau cœur, j'ai trouvé que c’était plus froid, plus cérébral... Qu'il y avait loins de tripes 🤷🏼♀️
Je trouve que la vibe SF prend beaucoup plus de place que l’horreur historique du début 😑. Entre implants et manipulations scientifiques, j'ai perdu l’essence de ce qui faisait le charme glaçant de la première saison 😔
Bref, "Gyeongseong Creature 2" à un univers qui tient encore debout, mais dans l’ensemble, jai trouvé que c’étais moins intense, moins viscéral... 🤷🏼♀️✌🏻
