I watched the first season of this show and I really liked it. This season was even better because it was a full length drama (where the first one was a mini drama), which allowed for more character development and story lines. It's easy to think that the plot of this will be difficult to deal with since it's about revenge, and I am really not a person who thinks revenge is a good idea. However the reality of this show is that it's not really about revenge. It's about people being made to deal with the consequences of their own actions and that is something I can very much stand behind.

While the first season dealt with some issues that are not often talked about (like mental illness), this season had more common issues. However, they once again did a great job of dealing with the issue of bullying in various forms and I think that is important because in real life, not all bullying looks the same and it doesn't just happen to the "outcasts." I also really liked that they touched on things from the first season and at least started to tie up some of the questions that were left at the end of season one.

The acting is on par with what you'd expect of a show like this. The actors and actresses do a very good job. This is not a show that is meant to be high drama, it's meant to be light fare and it succeeds. Samuel, Ahn Seo Hyun, and Ji Min Hyuk are great in their roles and are fun to watch. Their friends are also a delight with special notice of Lee Ji Hyun who plays Ha Rok Hee to perfection!

The music goes well with the show, though it doesn't really stand out much.

I very much enjoyed this series and I'll probably rewatch it again at least in part.
