Good for a Part 2 but cannot reach the supremacy of Season 1
Bloodhounds 2 was in my opinion a solid continuation of of the original, with familiar faces from season 1 as well as new characters, good or bad, and high-rated cameos (All I gotta say is Park Seo-joon!!!)
Here are my thoughts on Season 2 and why it was good:
- new villains were more brutal and interesting than in Season 1. Especially the hacker and Tae-geom were very interesting characters…
- less death cases of characters, as well as less defeats. I felt like in season 1 they constantly lost! It almost drove me crazy. In season 2 there was a bit more of an even chance of winning for either sides.
- The cameo of Park Seo-joon was HILARIOUS!!!
- The ending of this season was definitely more thought through. Season 1’s last epiosdes and ending were so weird. They probably had to change the plot last minute because of what happened with Kim Saeron…
And here are some reasons why I don’t think that Season 2 was as good as Season 1:
- No cliffhangers… For me the crazy cliffhangers of Season 1 were the reason why I got so hooked on that drama! Season 2 didn’t really have that. Which was better for my sleep cycle but in the end it didn’t really leave auch a lasting impact on me as the original.
- Despite the great choreographed fighting scenes (especially Gunwoo’s scenes with Rain), there was a tad too much unnecessary violence… the ripping off the ear, biting the bath tub and shaving off the skin etc were all unnecessary imo… I had to close my eyes more often in this part than in the first one…
- I didn’t understand the need of bringing back In-beom… like what was the reason??? they wanted to use him to lure gunwoo but they never did that… Part of me thinks they just wanted to lure him out to have more reason for more brutal violence… I didn’t like that… In-beom should have stayed in season 1… I wanted to see more background info of the green-haired hacker…
- Overall plot seemed messy and uncreative at times… especially using the mother and/or his friend(s) again to lure Gunwoo… And then the fact he stayed so calm in the end when his mother ended up getting kidnapped was a bit strange… Woo-jin was sadder than Gunwoo… I was actually quite confused…
- I wanted to see a revenge scene of Min-beom (Choi Siwon) on the villain (Rain)… but all we got is a hint on Season 3 and Park Seojoon’s real motive…
- Just the feeling of a found family was not as big in this drama as it was in Season 1 with Me. Choi and Kim Saeron’s character 🥺🥺🥺
All in all it was a good drama with old and new characters, extreme violence and hot men displaying their muscles 😅😅😅
