This is a mesmerizing watch. So quiet, yet intense. I sometimes can't exactly follow, but as I hang in there, I get it.

One thing I'm noting is that I don't really care which side wins in the end. Its just fascinating to watch the game play.

Ok. Maybe "raised" was the wrong word. But she watched him grow up. He was a human child and she was the oldest and most powerful fox spirit.

Anyway, I guess it doesn't bother anyone else.

Are we supposed to ship Yue Chu with Hong Hong?

Its not weird to anyone that she basically raised him as a child and that there is a massive age and power difference? I know its fantasy. Still.

Do we know if Wu Zhu survived his fight with master behind the water fall?

^ this. they are all more mature and they've had 5 years for their characters to simmer within them. To me, they're all far more nuanced in this season and the chemistry amongst them all is much more superb.

its more palace intrigue than action adventure, so it may feel "slower", but the story writing is excellent and the acting is top-notch. I'm far more captivated this season. Not that I didn't enjoy season 1, obviously, but this is sublime.

she's not. the real one is out there. i cant remember details, now.

it just keeps getting worse. not sure I can finish this. why would she willing meet alone, much less get into a car, with someone involved in a murder; someone she knows spiked someone else's drink; someone she knows is dangerous? what in the world could she have accomplished? why is this very smart woman so dumb? who wrote this character?

omg, even the White Truck of Doom?!

Yoon Park is a scene stealer here. He's so good at the comedy.

that scene bothered me a lot, for all the reasons you mention. way beyond what is acceptable for willing suspension of disbelief.

They're taking a serious look at depression, particularly that which comes from being driven too hard, toxic competition and the toxic social behavior that comes from that.

So, what's with the absolutely juvenile cliched bits once they become romantic? I'm skipping the entire scenario of "let's not tell anyone." I'm assuming it won't matter to the storyline. But, why would she set him up to be unjustly misunderstood? Its so out of character. And her mother beating him up is not funny. Can we stop using violence as humor, please?

they are both adult actors. It doesn't matter if adult actors are just playing characters.

The age difference of the characters is more meaningful to me.

They're both adult actors. They can choose to be in a drama together. The bigger question is about the age difference of the characters. Storytelling is powerful and can normalize things that we don't want normalized. But, if the characters are only, say, 5 years apart and they're both adults, then it shouldn't be an issue.

Its a dead give away when you put such a well-known face, an actor who has such vibrant presence in every role he plays, into an almost non-existent character, who barely has one line. By the second time I saw him and realized he had such an insignificant role, I knew he was the culprit. Kept hoping he would turn out to have some other meaningful reveal. Still, I'm glad he wasn't just in there as a silent cameo.

I don't if its just the way the music is employed in this production or what, but sometimes, it feels very much like a J-Drama.

Finally getting to this and really enjoying it. But, why are people always hitting each other? Baekdo is constantly being slapped. I feel hit myself every time it happens. He's a gentle personality who just wants everyone around him to be happy and still, they're always hitting him.

Logic isn't a part of this drama, I get that. Still, I thought it was supposed to be a revenge/avenge story. But, there isn't anyone who stays on mission.

The GRH redemption arc is entertaining (but, when did she become a computer expert able to manage the whole Medusa thing? oh, wait. forget logic, just go with it.)

Back to my main point, if KKT and MDH are supposed to be the "good guys" exacting avenge/revenge, then why are they maintaining sympathies for any of the villains they should be punishing? They know what these people have done. Backstories don't matter. They are monsters and you can't trust them. Untrustworthy and cruel should erase your sympathies for someone.

Please don't let these dudes end up in romances. If it seriously goes there, I'm done and will feel that I truly wasted my time watching up to this point. The story is patently absurd, but fun for that very reason; until its not. Even an absurd story has to have something for the viewer to hold onto; an anchor in this derailed roller coaster being tossed around by a tornado.

I mean, you could just make every single character be a shitty person and have all the villains prevail, in the end. That's too close to real life though and this was supposed to be absurd. We're here for escapism, not a mirror.

Absolutely! A most brutal series of murders.

I thought we were past the Stockholm Syndrome plots.

They're all sooooo good in their roles! I'm appreciating the high-quality, high-intensity makjang. Its just that the actors are doing so well at being despicable people that I can't take much at a time. My stomach gets all tensed up. lol

Definitely gonna see it through.
