Having true friends can make the weakest be the strongest of all!
I was really excited for this new season and to me it was worthy the wait! It’s not better than season 1 tho but still great! Jihoon once again gave us an amazing performance, his eyes can tell a whole story and when he’s angry he’s so expressive! He’s really natural in this character, it was made for him. We didn’t have the same impactful scene as the ending of EP8 in season 1, when Si Eun cried after everything that happened, but his acting was still good!
Lee Jun Young as a villain was also really good too, which I expected already because I love his acting and he’s a master in this type of character. I really hope he gets more popular later, he deserves. Baek Jin’s actor also did a very good job as a villain! It’s difficult to shine in a psychopath character when Jun Young is in the same drama but he did great. I’m not gonna lie tho, I wanted to see Jun Young more because he’s just TOO GOOD!
About Si Eun’s new friends, altough Baku have a much more focus in the story, I liked Hyeon Tak and Jun Tae more as characters. It was a great duo and Jun Tae is sooo cute! Baku is interesting but he was a little annoying for me in the beginning. He captivated me more later tho, especially in his scenes with Baek Jin. They had great chemistry. In general I liked the dinamic between the characters and their friendship. It was really important for Si Eun to have new friends and to not be alone.
The fighting scenes were good for me too, although no one was impactful as the one with the book in the season 1. But if I had to pick a favorite would be the one with Jihoon and Jun Young (I might be biased haha). We also had some memorable and emotional moments too and we can see how everything that happened in the last season had a strong impact in Si Eun’s life and how important is Su Ho for him. I liked the hospital scene between Si Eun and BeomSeok too, it had a great symbolism with Beom Seok basically representing Si Eun’s trauma who was holding him back.
Some negative points is that I think some parts were a bit rushed, especially in the last two episodes. Nevertheless, I liked this season and I will definitely be watching if they do another one (the ending gave me the feeling that we might have a 3rd season… don’t know if we have enough material for that tho, it might be something completely new).
PS: If we get another season later, it would be great to see Si Eun, Baku, Jun Tae, Hyeon Tak AND Su Ho being a squad. Also, I think I have to point out: I never read the webtoon so all opinions here is based only in what I saw in the drama!
