SEE! you're following Go Youn Jung's dramas just to rant! You already hated the actress, why watch her LOL.

If it's really that bad, move on. You've been coming back over and over just to say its bad. Not everything is about you or your taste. Everyone is different. WE ENJOYED IT, you didn't! We like Black, you like red! So?? Move ON and have a peaceful life ahead 😉😉

You seem to have been ranting about your opinion on the drama for over a month now LOL! I think its you who cannot get over that fact that Go Youn Jung was in S2 and not Jung Soomin. I wonder if the actresses exchanged roles, will you be ranting the same? I've seen you all over Go Youn Jung dramas ranting nonsense, and even in unreleased ones, you were there already commenting sh!t. So it's you who's actually against the actress and not the drama itself. Quit fooling and justifying yourself. LOL

Yeah same here. I cannot get past of Jo Bo Ah's acting in the past I just dropped the drama. I mean, as you said, it's maybe not my type of acting so its nothing personal against her. But I'm still going to try it because of LJW and see if she does fine here.

Ah yes my bad. I think you are right too. I was thinking that she didn't tell him because she didn't know that the worm would settle on him and that it would be almost impossible to remove. She only knew that the pain would kill her without the medicine. Forgot which episode but when she ask him to give the worm back, he said it already settled on his energy core and its eating it away. She was surprised to learn that.

She has no idea that that blood parasite would feed on a mage's energy. So-i isn't a mage and has no energy core, so it won't affect her much as long as she takes the medicine. It's different with a mage.

Some are just not enjoying it because the change of their preferred actress. But for me, if its good then I really don't care. I'm glad you liked it too and yes, I can't count already how many times I rewatched this

Rating here in MDL for S2 is lower than S1 so that's what the OP said (based on the posted reviews above), and I just stated that it has higher ratings when it was airing. Anyway, If I have to choose, I prefer S2 more than S1 as it has only 10episodes and has less filler. It also has a much darker element which I like. Overall, I enjoyed both seasons so I don't know why people need to compare the two. Why not just enjoy it as a whole?

Plotwise, pacing and character development was actually good. But the romance, they dragged it too long and keep on the dousing the spark that had started at the beginning, and when they finally put more effort onto it (Ep15-16), I already lost interest and no longer feel the connection between the ML and FL. Li Ge Yang always had a good chemistry with his partners on screen but not with the FL here. To me, it felt forced that even when they kissed, it felt so bland. And since they went on that ending, ML could really have just stayed just an ally with her.

How smart and stupid Hou Zeng be at the same time. He just ruined everything that he worked so hard to uncover at a very critical moment and put everything and the emperor at stake.

"The FL is too weak, too soft, and spineless." She's a puppet emperor to begin with, so yeah.

Some are just so critical I think and will fuss at anything. JSM did carry S1 because of her popularity and because of that her fans are so disappointed not seeing her in S2.I know SooMin before Younjung but I think GYJ nailed the role of being the fierce shadow Assassin and being bubbly Jin BuYeon. I wish S2 was atleast 15eps long though

Don't always believe the reviews and see if for yourself. The fact that this one has a much higher ratings of viewership in Korea compared to S1 says otherwise.

LoL same! I only watched S1 because of S2 (and even so, I honestly won't deny I still enjoyed S1). I don't get why people don't like season 2 because of change of FL when infact she's the original Naksu face.

No, only English subs

While I agree on the point you mentioned about recognizing that deep connection and longing, I also like how the writer/s went the other way.
S1 - He recognized her first. She saved him. He was a light to her shadow.
S2 - She recognized him first. He saved him. She was a shadow to his light.

This is so good and unexpectedly HE. I could rewatch S2 over and over 😅

I wonder why some are saying she lost her personality when she has not. She's sweet and more bubbly on the first part because of the memory loss and was sort of "raised" in a different environment (which of course can affect on how she acted and perceived things). But when she regained her memories in the latter part, she was just as feisty as before and even her mannerism or the way she walked and talked were the same in S1.

I almost skipped S1 and only watched it so I can fully grasp the whole story and I must admit I enjoyed that though the 20 episodes was too long for me . However, S2 is on a different level and I feel more connected to the ML and FL characters than S1. Chemistry is 🔥🔥🔥

The King insisted to JangGang to switch soul as his last dying wish. As a subject to the King, JangGang cannot refuse so he agreed to switch. After that, the King (in JangGang's body) slept with JangGang's wife, thus making her pregnant and give birth to a child (Jang Uk).

Are you sure you want spoiler? 😅
