Season 2 did NOT disappoint.
Season 2 did not disappoint me at all. I didn’t plan to binge all 7 episodes in one sitting, but it just happened before I even realized it.
There were so many fights and so much blood — honestly, it was a bit too intense for one watch. But I won’t lie, I really enjoyed it.
I think the writing was excellent, and the pacing of the story was handled in a very engaging and effective way.
The characters were written beautifully. Geon U has had my heart since season 1. As strong and intimidating as he is during fights, deep down he’s such a soft, loving “mama’s boy” who truly cares about his family and the people he loves. He’s full of warmth, and it’s so refreshing to see a character like that on screen. And let’s not even start on how incredibly good-looking he is. Woo Do-hwan did an amazing job once again as Geon U — his acting never disappoints me. He’s truly one of the best.
Of course, U Jin is also a very well-written character, both in season 1 and season 2. The friendship between Geon U and U Jin is honestly one of my all-time favorites. They are literally brothers, and no one can convince me otherwise. Every scene with them melted my heart — especially when U Jin calls Geon U’s mother his own. Their bond was so heartwarming. And as always, Lee Sang-yi delivered a great performance.
Moving on to the new characters this season — Rain completely surprised me. He did an incredible job making me hate his character with every fiber of my being. The only other drama I’ve seen him in was Full House (2004), and the difference between the characters is insane. I was really impressed with him here. He played a truly great villain for this story.
Yun Tae Geom completely stole my heart the moment he switched to the right side… and then the worst happened with his tragic death. That moment made me hate Baek Jeong even more. My heart broke for him, and especially for his little daughter left behind.
There isn’t much negative I can say about this drama. However, it’s definitely not for everyone, and I do think season 1 was better overall in terms of storyline and execution. But that doesn’t take away from the quality and the great work done in this season.
I’m usually a romance girl, so it’s actually surprising how much I loved this drama.
A truly great drama.
