I can't help comparing it to Season 1, and honestly, Season 2 felt like a downgrade.

At first, I was disappointed about the female lead being changed, but the new FL won me over almost instantly, so that didn't bother me for long.

My biggest issue was how the cases were handled. Season 1 had a good balance of comedy and crime-solving, and even with its fun tone, the cases were handled professionally.
Season 2 tried to tackle more serious cases, but the way they were handled often felt nonsensical.

The first half was especially frustrating. A lot of things just didn't make sense, but I'd grown attached to the characters in Season 1, so I kept watching. Thankfully, the latter half got better or maybe I just got used to the writing.lol.
The Seongwon artist case did feel dragged out, though.

I was also looking forward to seeing more romance between the second leads, the detective and the forensic doctor, but they barely got enough screen time either. I really wish the show had explored their relationship more in season 2.

Overall, S2 is noticeably lower in quality than Season 1, especially when it comes to the writing and case handling. Still, because I'd already grown attached to the characters, I found myself enjoying it despite all my complaints.
