Well...I said I would change my rating once I'm done with this drama but alas....my rating stays the same.

If I had known this series was going to go the way it did I wouldn't have watched the first season over. That was a BIG BIG BIG mistake. But it's not my fault because I thought the second series was going to be like the first.

I was so dead wrong. This series was so bad that it made me go back and see who the writers were. I was thinking did the original writers do something wrong to the new writers?

Sadly enough it was the same writers!!! How could they have done this to the people who fell in love with the first series??

To anybody who watched the first drama, everything that you loved in the first drama....it's not there in this drama if you haven't seen it.

There were stupid things in this drama that was a waste. For instance the so-called 'evil' characters who struggled to speak Chinese. There was no purpose for any of them. The extra counters...why?? Another waste. Ju Seok becoming more powerful than anybody and the explanations as to how he was so powerful didn't make any sense. Not to mention the fighting scenes if that's what you call it. It was more like a telekinesis battle than anything. Everybody got choked by thin black air so many times that I was shocked they were still able to function.
Then there's So Mun who turned out to be the cockiest and most powerful of the bunch while Mo Tak just sat back in the shadows. Mae Ok was the only character who progressed. She fought more but still had that endearing heart of hers. That was the one saving face for me. Then there was a gun battle....why??

The last episode had me skipping through a lot. For the take down to be so quick it sure was drawn out. The series could've easily ended within the first few episodes but again, everything was drawn out.
I wanted to like this series but it wasn't the same as the first. I shouldn't have been so greedy by wanting a second season to come out.
For what it's worth the very last few minutes of episode 12 was worthy of a second watch.

if a drama is good and they only stick with one season, I will be fine with that.
