Beyond

Yes. He is the one

After watching episode 7, I was a bit curious. I know KDJ was one of the officials before but no she is a mere citizen. Can military officials allow a civilian to be part of their mission?

So true. Introverts know how to express themselves. A good actor can definitely portray the character well even if its an introverted/silent one.
The scene from Episode 5 where Gui was supposed to be angry at Solo for forcing him to join the trip, I know Gui was just acting to tease Solo but at least act like you are angry, it just like he was saying his dialogues, no emotions at all.

I just don't understand why Solo and Gui have no expressions. Gui literally doesn't move his face and Solo has extreme expressions (too many or nothing).
I was excited for this drama after reading the novel but seems the story is at a standstill.
Kao Phu parts need to be developed well. As of now Kao's behaviour is more or less like a stalker. I hope their story progresses well in future episodes.
Khim and the doc guy are least interesting characters right now. Their story doesn't make sense.

In the novel, Gui is someone who always smiles and makes Solo happy. He is satisfied just by looking at Gui's smiley face. But in the series, I don't see Gui smiling or even reacting to anything. He just seems passive.
I was so excited for the series after reading the novel but it just feels flat.
KaoPhu feels forced sometimes. But they do have little chemistry and I'm looking forward to their development.
Khim is hands down annoying. Her actions are made to look cute but its not the case. They really need to tame her character.
I hope in upcoming episodes there is some progress in the plot and characters.

I know right. It reminded me of season 1 when they used to talk freely. SM always expresses himself in front of YJ and noone else. I wish we have more such scenes.

Wow!! the episode was so intense. Didn't even release how 1 hour passed away. SM and YJ are really good with investigation scenes. Woo Tae and Choi Bit are not as simple as they seem. They definitely are hiding something. I feel YJ will be disappointed after the truth comes out as she has always seen Choi Bit as her role model.

This show is getting more and more twisted. All the dots are getting connected. The time writer invested in explaining cases in initial episodes really has paid-off now.
I thing everyone should just enjoy this season rather than comparing it with season 1. Writer is trying her best to show real world cases and entertaining us at the same time.

This is way too detailed than I thought. Really appreciate your take on both the seasons.

After watching episode 6, I feel first 5 episodes were base to setup something big. They made audience familiar with the new characters for beginning the real action.

To all the one's saying this season doesn't feel like before, just watch episode 6. It was mind blowing. Writer-nim knows how to intrigue audience every single time. Every character has their own story, problems and are trying to solve them. The cliffhanger was real. Super excited for next episode.

The best part of the season is , even after having so many sub-plots, everything is connected and well structured. Usually the sequels focus on the leads which are already familiar to audience but here they are shaping each and every character. One moment it feels like the character is good/bad but the very next moment opinions change.
This season is not focusing only on crime like season 1 but on the real world scenarios. The portrayal of Boss-Subordinate is on point. SM and YJ being honest and hardworking doesn't mean he'll/she'll be treated well by their superiors. If we watch this season with the mindset of season 1, it is not going to attract us. With fresh mind it feels like a complete entertainer. I'm enjoying every moment of this drama and am hoping for it to only get better.

OMG the dialogues during Police-Prosecution meeting were amazing. The back-n-forth between both the sides raising points for the benefit was the best scene today. I felt a little sad to see less SM onscreen but also liked the fact that every single character is getting the much deserved screentime. It will be interesting to see YJ and SM working against each other.

This show just keeps getting better. The dialogues are so well written that even a second cannot be missed. I'm excited to see how YJ and SM will team up together amidst corruption and greed for power on both the sides.

One thing's good that he is devoid of any emotions. If it was someone else, that person would be frustrated. Last season he had few people on his side, hopefully this season he'll have more.

It's been only 2 episodes and they already started twisting the plot. HSM, HYJ promoted to be part of Special force is going to be interesting. In season 1, both were firm with their decisions and acted as per law. This season it will be fun to watch them work together amidst tension bewteen prosecutor and police. Hopefully the story will progress well.

This drama is pretty decent. I don't think it deserves 4.5 ratings. There are few scenes which are not necessary so hopefully they'll cut them in future. The acting and dialogues need some efforts otherwise it's a good start. Philippines is slowly entering the world of BL.

Seriously speaking this one is a lot better than the 1st season. Their chemistry improved a lot, they are no more awkward while being close to each other. The story doesn't feel something special, it's pretty lame. But I can understand that part as BrightWin are more popular with younger crowd and it's to attract them. The whole we are together for 1 year doesn't seem to be true. They behave as if all the 1st season events happened just a month ago or so and also Tine is shy about seeing Wat naked is a bit hard to believe. Sarawat getting jealous after listening to his friends and peeping in the practice hall to see who Tine is with was weird knowing they are together for so long. But one thing is to say that both BrightWin have worked hard on their acting skills. I won't say it's perfect but they are improving and I like it.
ManType were adorable like in 1st season and I would love to see them more. MilPhukong really need to be together. Frankly speaking out of all the couples I really love FrankDrake chemistry.
I love the director's previous works and he definitely can make his actor act well. That's what I wanted to see in 1st season. It was a good start and hopefully it remains that way.

It was one of the best scenes till date. We were desperate to see DO confess about he being the father and irrespective of all the flaws in this drama, this particular scene was executed well. Son Ho Jun was on point with his expression and dialogue delivery. Now the only thing left is family reunion and their character development. Hopefully they'll do it in the remaining episodes.

Absolutely true. I was frustrated seeing how everyone was feeling sad for AJ but not OD. Imagine the boy had so much in his hands and suddenly AJ broke up with him which almost took his life. OD should have told AJ about everything. AJ should have confronted him face to face.
Now AJ needs to act as an adult and let OD take care of Hanee atleast if she doesn't want to be with him. She has no right to tell him to forget about everything.
