Amazing show. Comparing with Manhwa, and with Season 1, here are my full thoughts
They tried to fit the whole manhwa in 8 episodes. They missed out on tons of fun and important arcs and characters. It would have been great if this was a second season and then they had a 3rd season, so we had a fully fleshed out story and characters. In that sense Season 1 was better. Better paced and just had more emotions in a sense?
I would also say in terms of the fighting scenes, S1 was better. S2 had many fantastic action scenes, but none as chilling as the ones in S1, like the first one with the curtain. I wish they had more monologue in the S2 action scenes, like the did S1 with Sieun.
In terms of acting, both seasons were amazing. Everyone really embodied their characters. If I had to pick one, I would I wish Baek-jin was more like his character. I wish he has his tattoos like the manhwa. In the manhwa, he comes across really cold, chilling, clean, and almost psychopathic. I think they actor did great, but he could have done better.
Again amazing show. IMO, would have been better if they had more episodes and had time to really flesh out the manhwa, but nonetheless great.
S1 - 10/10
S2 - 9/10
