Unfortunately, I didn’t care for it—mostly because of the writing. The story was so bland and predictable that I'm puzzled four writers were attached to it. The acting was just okay — not the worst I've seen; however, this CP ship didn't move me like others have in the past. Also, the fight scenes were some of the weakest I've seen. All that muscle, and they still made the ML look weak. Plus, the CGI—wheeeew, don't get me started.
I went into this blind not knowing what to really expect. The reveal with "that scene" (iykyk) was one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a long time. Beyond heartbreaking and infuriating, with a lot of evil characters in this one. The 2nd ML's moves were wild, but overall good drama - just wish it was a little longer to fill in the gaps.
The show gave what it was supposed to give: intense, well choreographed fight scenes, a group of friends to root for, and villains that will leave you seething. Did I experience the same emotions that Season 1 gave me, no! But I didn't expect it to. With a new season, comes a different vibe. Fresh faces taking the lead isn't a bad thing. The series still managed to deliver, and I was entertained.
I enjoyed seeing Boss and Noeul on screen together again, however the show did not surpass LITA for me nor did I expect it to. The NC scenes were top-tier, but I just wish the script was a little stronger. With better pacing and tension in the writing, and maybe longer/more episodes I think this could have been a stronger series imo. Also, even though I felt that the acting was not the strongest during the emotional scenes, I think there is potential to improve.
That being said, I am curious to see what MAME plans to adapt next and what BN's future roles will be . I thought Boss did really well in that short fighting scene, so I would love to see him in a action/crime/thriller/romance role with a whole a lot of angst.
Besides Happy Ending, this is probably my most anticipated BL for next year mostly because of Boss. Love him as an actor and the energy that he brings ❤️. I can't wait to watch, but I'm going to have to wait a bit. I prefer to binge watch my shows...though, I have a feeling the wait will be worth it. I love a thriller romance!
I don't think they fully got to explore the relationship between the two ML's because of the twist, so it makes sense to have a 2nd season. IMO Jes & Bible looked great together, but I just wished we got to see more 'real' moments between them.

killed it - I felt every emotion.
