Better than expected
Byeon Woo-seok is definitely the most eye catching thing about this show but overall I don't think it deserves all these low ratings. Story wise, it isn't as good as it's predecessor, but enjoyable enough. BW does a great job as the villain Ryu Shi-o. He manages to not fall into the pit of a 2D bad guy and his character was better written than that of Gang Nam-soon whose overly bright personality just got on my nerves after awhile.
BW really shows his range here as the character is a million mile away from his role in Lovely Runner. Wearing tailored suits and a menacing glare, there is no doubt he's a dangerous killer, but you are also given insights as to why he is like he is. He deserved a better ending to his story, but what got me about it was Ryu Shi-o was an intelligent character, but really it was so obvious Gang Nam-soon was a spy. She barely tried to hide it, which was something he surely would have noticed day 1.
