Fell off after season 1
Since season 1 was very good (I gave it an 8.5) I cant give this less than a 7.5 but it's underwhelming compared to season 1. I initially dropped it until episode 6 but finished until the end just because of the antagonists' acting (which was good from the beginning to the end) and I was curious about the ending which disappointed me.
Positives:
already mentionned
Negatives:
- Song Hyekyo's acting was bland. She had only one expression all the time. I only felt empathetic to her younger self. She's the only reason I rooted for her character (she did a great job as well as the young versions of the antagonists). Same thing for PYJ's husband, at the beginning like many people, I was rooting for him to be with MDE but I guess their chemistry hided his subpar acting skills.
- Who casted Lee Dohyun should be fired. Not only his acting was annoying (I loved him in 18 Again but he had the same expressions there and here even though it doesn't fit, so I guess this role didn't suit him at all), his chemistry with Song Hyekyo, according to my personal chemistry rating scale, was an F. They had no visual chemistry due to the 14 year age gap (and then they dare say that JYJ is older than her). When they kissed at the end I was mad. He's like her nephew and she never even loved him the whole series. I don't understand why anyone would cast Lee Dohyun. He's even more annoying than Song Hyekyo even though he had better acting.
- As someone else said, the FL had a lot of plans in season 1 but in season 2, she got away really easily with luck, and didn't suffer at all. It was boring that PYJ was always the one to lose. Junjae also should have suffered wayy more.
- I would've liked it if Junjae ended up in jail like PYJ, instead of dying peacefully. He should've paid the consequences to his actions. I thought Moon Donggeun was gonna reveal that he raped Yoon Sohee and PYJ cheated on her husband with him.
- What about Choi Hyejeong? Losing her voice isn't enough. And as the doctor said there was a small chance that she could find her voice again.
- Would've wanted to see Lee Sara in jail and Kang Hyeonnam with her daughter again.
- Why didn't we get to see JYJ's revenge on the killer of his father?
- And many other complaints. I'm generous to give it a 7.5 just because of the first season.
