Yes, very much so. I had to watch a recap video of the first one, because I forgot what happened in the first film and was so confused about 20 minutes into the second one. There is no explanation who is everyone and why they are behaving like this. It is basically one movie divided into two parts.

My favorite scene in the first film was the poison scene because the two sorcerers were super funny. In this one, I loved how the main leads acknowledged their relationship as a husband and wife. That was so heartwarming and very sad, I cried when she thanked him at the end and referred to him as her groom, and the scene where he was sitting silently being heartbroken that he had to leave her was so heartbreaking.

I think it would've been better if they just made the first part into a 3 hour movie. This had a lot of fillers and they had to repeat some of the events that happened in the previous part to make sense of the continuation.

I mean when they tried to kick her out of the show along with Kim Jong Kook. She became more involved and active throughout the episodes in my opinion, she used to only participate at the end to only take the win without working hard for it.

He is a vigilante who murders criminals. This is what you see in the first 5 minutes.

The part about him being a police office is revealed about 15 minutes in, and it is kind of a surprise twist if you didn't see pictures of the filming before watching it.

Kim Ayoung and Joo Hyunyoung are pretty annoying. The cringey agyeo and the unnatural open eyes creeped me out. They were acting the whole time, I can't imagine them being like that for more than one episode. I also like the renting idea and I don't wish for anyone to be a permanent member other than the current fixed members.

I don’t mind her, honestly. Coming from someone who was really irritated by SoMin and only started to appreciate JiHyo in the last few years. I don't like it when a female character’s only role is to step on guys to get ahead. Ji Ye Eun, however, has managed to develop a strong character without resorting to that. JiHyo only stopped doing that after the incident, and that is when she grew on me. SoMin never stopped till the day she left, she often stole jokes to be funny, and was unnecessarily a troublemaker even when it caused her and her team to fail (This is just my opinion though, some people like that and find it funny but I don't). I don't mind the flirting also, I don't encourage it or enjoy it, but she is at the age when one is still young but quite desperate, and I like that she is very okay with all the teasing about her looks, even though I don't like the teasing itself. It shows that she has a great mindset. That said, I love change, so I’d be excited to see some new faces as rentals very soon!

This is kind of a spoiler. That he was a villain is not, because you find out the first 5 minutes that he is a villain.

Only one joke refers to the first movie, and it can easily be missed even if you did watch the first one.

It felt more like an episode of a drama. Not bad, but a little disappointing as a movie.

I don't mean English, English is a second language to Koreans. Bringing a supposedly English speaker whose English is unintelligible in a Korean drama would be equivalent to bringing actors who supposedly speak a language other than English but they actually speak gibberish in a Hollywood movie. Of course they would speak English well, it's their first language. You will see that in big budgeted movies like Marvel's, Mission Impossible, and those international big sellers. They would bring a Chinese person and let them speak Korean for example, or an Indian as an Arab, just because "they look like each other".

Her father's name on her phone is "Murderer", so I'm pretty sure she knows. Also, I don't think he can be captured and trialed this discretely. She also wasn't surprised when Ahn Wu Jae was telling his wife about the father being killed.

I think she would've used feminine names for those if she named them.

I like the relationship between Son Hae Yeong and Nam Ja Yeon. In spite of JaYeon's father killing HaeYeong's father, HaeYeong thought of JaYeon first when JaYeon's father came out of prison and was worried about her safety instead of being angry that he came out after killing her father. On the other hand, JaYeon seems to put HaeYeong first, even when she doesn't need to, choosing her over her love for the CEO. It's clear that she still feels responsible for HaeYeong losing her father.

The Departed was made as a remake of Infernal Affairs. It is openly acknowledged. Scorsese only realized that it was a remake after he'd already agreed to direct it, then he decided to not watch this movie so that his version would be somewhat original. It's not true that he refused to acknowledge that it is a remake.

This is not true at all. Warner Brothers bought the remake rights.

WOW, this makes sense, but this layered thinking in a ten second stressful situation is superhumanly. XD

I haven't seen this, but this is not something that only happens in Kdramas. You can even see it in big budgeted Hollywood movies. I got used to it and I just look at the subtitles. I never understood what someone says in my own language, they always speak gibberish that is not even close to the real language. So, I'm not sure it's fair to expect this from a Korean drama with a budget that is not nearly close to Hollywood movies.
Another thing is, accents don't easily go away just because you lived for a long period of time in a place that doesn't have it. It usually gets stuck with you from the moment you've learned the language. Seeing that they spent their childhood elsewhere, I get that they would keep their original accent.
