Enjoyable, found a new fav actress!

there are some fundamental things wrong with the story or execution in my opinion. but overall enjoyed it. loved go youn jung i see the hype and I'll definitely watch for dramas with her.

didn't see much of a sizzling chemistry or anything but uk & yeon were both cute together. overall I guess i enjoyed this season better.

but i wanted more women and naksu in action, and not hiding behind or protected behind men. i thought i was promised that but apparently not

less fillers than the first part, hence more enjoyable for me. the villains and their actions were very convenient and contrived. there were really no actual stakes, given janguk's unbeatable strength. so it was all just watching for the fun visuals and chatacters lol.

jinmu was a very convenient villain, all words and no real power or action. liked maidservant kim lady a lot! her dynamics with park jin were fun.

but overall the whole journey that took 30 eps was rather underwhelming, especially given the hype. it was like a beautiful package with hardly any substance inside.
