Partners for Justice Season 2 (2019)

I loved this drama so much!!!!!! Season 2 was highly better as the previous one. I ship Eun Sol and Do Ji Han so please dear director make them to a couple in season 3! And if its about couples don't skip Jang Cheol with Seo Yeon ~ 10/10
I RECOMMEND SO MUCH!!
I feels like I've never seen better series than this before. I love Baek Beom he is so rude in a cute way. He's get out..... I love them ???? Dr. Jang never could eat his meal in this season. I don't know why others says that Sally is boring and annoying, I love her more than Stella! This season is more serious than first one and I appreciate it. Do Ji Han, Jang Cheol/K and Yang Soo Dong are my favorites. Love you Oh Man Suk and Minue ❤️

It’s an average detective drama, and not the good one. The first season was much better and many of the previous qualities are lost here.

First of all the lead lady isn’t the lead any more. Jung Yoo Mi has a minor role here and she does almost nothing. As a prosecutor she has nothing to do.
The funny relationship between the lady prosecutor and Sally is not shown.
The interesting, ambiguous relationship between the lady prosecutor and Baek Beom is not shown.
The promising relationship between prosecutors is not shown.

Well, now I wonder if anything is shown in this drama?

There are three good things:
1. Forensic doctor rude Baek Beom and his investigation
2. Mysterious doctor Jang Chul good played by No Min Woo
3. The return of Lee Yi Kyung with his charisma in the last episode.

It’s watchable. But for me sometimes it was boring and not exciting as the first season.
The end was good, I must admit.

I watched both Seasons back to back and can say this, in terms of story wow, not seen things a story like this flow so well, many other shows have a tendency to have seasons somewhat self contained but this show picks things up from last season almost effortlessly.

That said there are some issue, while the inevitable cast changes from season 1 to 2 had to be addressed, the need to have one of the season 1 character's most identifiable quirks replicated by what is made to be a totally different character, only serves to remind me of that season 1 character and how I liked that character more.
Other issues I had with this season is how it almost pays no attention to the main character at the most important moments and how many events that are meant to be a challenge to her or even overwhelming tend not to be shown in any way thankfully this is not the case at the most critical story moments and does not hold the season back from making its impact. My Other issue with the main character is that in this season she is anything but, now while this is not necessarily an negative, it resulted in the the main character having little character development beyond maturing as a prosecutor.

Some people may take issue with the main Doctor in the show as he is appears to be nothing more than a autopsy machine, Literally I just watched the show and cannot recall seeing any emotion emanate from the character beyond suspicion and I must complete the task at hand. That said without spoilers there is a reason for this that can only be appreciated by watching the season to its end.

Really hope that there is a Season 2.

The hard work of the cast crew really left us amazed.

Really wanting a Season 3 with Jung Jae Young, Jung Yoo Mi, Oh Man Suk, and Noh Min Woo in the main cast. That would be great. Season 3 will complete the full story of Season 2.

The story and hard work really impressed me. It really teaches us a lesson that everything leaves a trace behind. If we all try our best, the result will be a success. The truth is never erased. It is just going with us but we don't see or feel it. We have to dig more and more to get to the end.

Really amazing, like no words to explain it. People who have watched it will know how beautiful this particular drama and its story is.

Disappointing compared to season 1

Chemistry was an important element in the stories in season 1. But it seems this season is devoid of chemistry. There is no chemistry between Eun sol and the Doctor baek. Neither is there a chemistry between the team members. The cases were interesting overall but there was less involvement of the leading lady, Eun pro. This was a crucial element of Investigation couple. It would have been better if the doctor beak warmed up to others a bit. No character development. Plus Stella Hwang was much better than Sally. Please bring her back. The series simply lacked the fun element. Season 1 was waaaaayyyy better in my opinion. Overall worth a watch.

where's s3? needs s3!

I honestly didn't have much expectation when I first started watching s1. At the time, I was just simply looking for a non romcom kdrama coz I just finished watching voice thai version, which left me wanting more of the same genre type of series.. partners for justice both seasons blew me away lol... I love the cast, esp the actors playing baek beom and his 2 forensic assistants, do ji han and jang cheol from s2. Who needs a romantic arc from the main leads when bromance is more than enough haha though I'm not going to complain if they do add some romance to it (waiting for jang cheol+suyeon arc XD ). I do wish they bring back Stephanie and most esp Lee Yi Kyung for s3.. As for the FL eun sol, she did well too on both seasons. Not her fault the male leads overshadowed her character on s2, I'll just blame it on the writers lol (maybe they had a change of hearts: s1 "partners" focus on baek bom and eun sol while s2 is baek bom and do ji han). If s3 do take off, I'm really hoping to see a better character development for baek bom and jang cheol... I'm really hoping there'll be an s3. That scene inserted on s2 ending credits looks very promising!

Good storyline, lacking in Eun Sol and Baek Beom

In terms of cases and story line, season 2 was better than season 1. However, I feel like it lacks a lot when it comes to the relationships between characters. In season 1 they gave us more interactions and scenes with Eun Sol and Baek Beom. They’re the soul of the show. And I was really enjoying where they were going with their relationship by the end of season 1. I’d love to see Eun Sol and Baek Beom get together romantically, of course. But even setting that aside, this season missed their budding friendship at the very least, and the last episodes were clearly missing that special something.
I feel like they’ve also put Eun Sol aside, she essentially became a secondary character and that’s really sad because she is great and we deserved to see more character development and growth.
I absolutely loved how the relationship between Eun Sol, Dong shik and Mi Ho was still cherished. It’s very difficult to get that sort of chemistry right and I love how they are all so protective of each other. The best really.
I miss Stella and detective Cha! They were so much fun!
I found that sally’s character was just inserted into the show as a copy of Stella. And she was creepy with how obsessed she was with Baek Beom. It was quite unnecessary. Although I appreciate that the character allowed us, the audience, to see how Eun Sol feels about Baek Beom. All the looks. How she reacts when asked about her feelings for him etc. there’s definitely something there so I hope we get Eun Sol x Baek Beom in season 3. It’s about time.
Jang Cheol’s story line is also quite interesting and I love that he is teaming up with prosecutor Do. It was sweet how he acted with Soo Yeon and her daughter at the picnic. And I hope he gets the help in needs in season 3 (whenever that is). Can’t wait for Prosecutor Chal to be caught!

Essentially, this season was good, but lacked Eun Sol and Baek Beom scenes, as well as more character development ( Eun Sol’s), she is a main character after all!!

Twists and turns part 2

We're back with Eun-sol and Baek-beom, whilst there are several cast changes, with 2 central characters having moved on and been replaced, plus some additions.
The plot is thickening as we pick up on the corruption and cover ups that were being brought to light in series 1, together with some additional side stories. Familiar villains resurface and crimes overlap again as things begin to come to a head.
I found series 2 to have a better pace than the first and Eun-sol really comes into her own.
I really couldn't warm to Sally Kim at all though and thought the interaction between her and Eun-sol was over the top.
I just loved actor Noh Min Woo in this series and I really felt for his broken character, who is so badly manipulated.
There are more unpleasant crimes and the spin on what seems obvious, that the post mortems uncover, shows some really clever story writing.
Many questions are answered, but the conclusion is far from favourable and whilst there was no "We'll be back" or "To be continued" (like the end of series 1), there is a definite door ajar for either a series 3 or even some kind of spin-off.
The rewatch value is pretty good just because there was a lot going on.
I really hope we see Eun-sol, Baek-beom, Do Ji-han, Yang Soo-dong, Jang Chul, et al, again in 2021 (fingers crossed).

i enjoyed season 1 more than this season. the autopsy/NFS part was still good and i only look forward for this part. the investigation/prosecution part was better than s1 and the cases was bigger in scale but idk i find it boring. it just don't make me curious on what will happen, no tense for me, and i never felt like woww thats amazing. plus, they even reduce the part of the realtionship between the cast especially eun sol and dr baek, so i couldn't feel the chemistry. and it feels like eun sol is no longer the female lead when i wish to see more of her cause she's not a rookie anymore. maybe because there are different cases every episode that makes me find it hard to focus idk. i was hoping for a clear closure, but it seems like there might be s3. hope it gets better

A good series with a worse Season2 and a story without conclusion

First of all, i LOVED season1. The characters was all very good, the story progressed very nicely.
However, Season2 just removed pretty much most good characters.

Stella(Stephanie Lee) was a perfect character. She was quirky funny and her English is native speaking.
When she was replaced by sally in Season2 it was a huge downgrade. Not at all the same funny quirky character, she had some funny parts but overall not anywhere near Stella. The worst part was they tried to replace Stella with another "English" speaker but Sallys English is so bad its just annoying.

Also the loss of Cha Soo Ho(Lee Yi Kyung) was huge, he was a perfect fit and he was cemented as the main Police connection in the story. His love interest in Stella was also so fun and made a fun interaction between then two.

In Season2 the main Police connection lead was mild and lacked in most ways.

Kang Dong Sik was the most annoying character in the series, and it was much worse in Season2, over acting and just annoying.

The best part of both seasons is Baek Beom, I love series with someone smart and how they find things others don't etc. And his acting was consistent and good in both seasons.

Here is why i can't recommend this series.
The show has pretty much a main story throughout Season 1+2, and the show ended without anything at all getting solved. It was literally one of the worst endings every in a Kdrama, that is even worse than Vagabond ending.
It was obviously setup for a Season3, that never happened and never will. It's been 5 years now.

I understand the high ratings if they made review after the show came out, but someone that watched the show in 2024 it's way to high given that the show ends without any conclusion at all.

Avoid.
