Worse than Season 1? if youre here for sweet revenge plots this aint the show.
Watched both seasons this week coming in with not that big of an expectation for the show. Season 1 wasn't all that bad, I enjoyed the casting, the acting was great, story was alright enough to hook me on.
However, I still don't really like the mc Haein. Sometimes I like her most of the time she does kind of irritates me so nothing really changed from how i felt about her in season 1 to season 2.
The MAIN issue I have with season 2 is how different everything is, the vibes, the setting, the casting, the acting theres a horrible transition from season 1 to season 2 and as someone who watched both seasons in one week, it was truly so confusing seeing new faces, old cast members not appearing anymore the their reasons of not showing up again in the show like who got removed from office? Seeing the directors i guess it's true that season 2 was directed by someone different which explain all these unncessary differences.
For a show that only has 10 episodes per 2 seasons there should not be an introduction of new characters mid story and force them into the storyline in such a cliche and no thought behind a better way to introduce them.
Not just random new casting that are obviously there to help resolve the main characters issues, but appearance wise, cuz why did they give her that new hair look when she entered the diamond 6 club? why immidetally her first scene with her new look. Because watching the first couple minutes of season 2 and seeing her hair made me think there was a time skip.
The new love interest for Jena and Haein are SO FORCED! I just cannot, because it was just a waste of screen time between the main characters to have a better bond together, but instead of seeing Jena become less mean, and more kind and more apologetic of her actions towards Haerin, she becomes slightly more mean towards haerin, but slowly shows a softer side to JinUk because I was so shocked to hear her say she was sorry twice to this man. why couldnt she have that character development that i thought she was gonna have with haein instead?
Sa Rang being So Mang's little brother was not needed, because i really thought if there were romance in this show i thought so mang would've been haein's love interest, but no it's his little brother instead, ohokaay? There's no chemistry between them, he just there a character that acts a shield to protect the main character that's it.
JinUk bothers me more when watching this show, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the actor's acting or if he was a wrong choice in casting or both. His acting didnt stand out to me at all, it felt like his face was suppose to be the main attention grabber but sadly all i could do was cringe everytime he awkwardly smirked to protray a handsome cunning character. Espically since the makeup artist did him so dirty with the lip color because it was so smugged and bright pink for no reason ToT I also felt like JinUk had more screen time than Do Eon, Do Eon felt like he got demoted as a supporting character instead. just like season 1 he dont ever do anything and loses his girl for the second god damn time like bruh, everything everyone says about him is true. bro doesn't do anything.
I just find it extremely odd how these two new supporting character play a big role in the finale of the show, however the impact of their character doesn't feel like it was originally written to be in the show. To me their character feels like an after thought changes to an original storyline meaning it felt like they didn't belong in this story at all and they dont seem to be that imporant the show make them out to be.
Revenge in this show? nope none, it's more like punishment. i did wish we got to see what had happened to ujin, looked like Do Eon wanted to kill him in the last scene.

tbh while the show was mad annoying with so many flaws, Yul Hui striked my interest the most her character transition from season 1 to season 2 was flawless, we get a few scenes of her and her mother seeing how she got this way because of her mom, how she threw away her pride and childhood best friend over a man she wanted to keep not for love, but for marriage opportunities. her hating her best friend jena more than her cheating fiancee what shows that yulhui shows more resentment toward the truth. Instead of directing her anger at the actual source of the betrayal (her cheating fiancé), she projects it onto the person who forced her to face reality of her humiliation of a relationship. This suggests she prefers denial or control rather than painful truth of humilitation as she wants to be seen high and mighty.
the only downside i hated was her taking the 2nd murder blame of her cheating husband... where they really running low on screentime that they couldn't even show scenes of yul hui ordering her Ujin to murder Si eun which made me think it was a fake scenerio bruh.
It is safe to say that I had enjoyed season 1 better. season 2 was so confusing, & pointless,
