My hopes for season 2 were answered in some ways. We do see how good Jin Man is good at setting up or at least assembling the people to create intricate black market shopping mall for professional killers or hide outs at different locations and help him run it. The drama shows Ji Ahn getting straight forward mercenary/special forces training without it being couched as something else, but not much coaching from Jin Man to be the successor to the bloody family business, she already hits the ground making plans. She's always shown to be very smart and quick to pick up on what she needs to do in a situation to survive, but it would have been more satisfying if her mastermind leadership side was built up through the earlier episodes than appearing fully formed already. There needed to be more a lot more scenes of their Mutherhelp family bonding together in their new shop before half of them died. There were too much time given to the Babylon side, way too much Bale who needed to have died in the first episode. Kusanagi starts off with the perfect balance of believable villain and chewing scenery, but tips all the way into the latter category by the end. There was too much of her scenes as well. Q is a cute petite, deadly killer team leader who has a cute relationship with her team and harbors a crush for Jin Man which does not stop her from full on wanting to kill him when she was mislead to think he killed her brother, which good for her. I also get why she didn't stick around to have the promised meal with him from when they met that one time years ago. Jin Man is just all about dedicating his life to his niece daughter who had no choice but to be in this life whether she wants to or not. As Q notes, Ji Ahn also has that same look in the eyes as they all do including the both of them in this kind of life. At least Ji Ahn will flourish after giving up the normal life when giving it a good college try got her sweet fishing village orphan boyfriend killed. It was so moving when the one of the village grandmas comforts her all of the women their had husbands that died at sea for one reason or another just as Ji Ahn's boyfriend did, but she needs to continue to live. And so she does as the new CEO of a killer shopping network. If there's a season 3, I would like to see more of Jin Man and Jin Ahn working together to run things and maybe expand more of how he came to form the shop in the first place.
