Starts with a Bang but diffuses by the end
Just like it's prequel the show starts off with a bang. Ahn Bo Hyun as always was the perfect casting for Jin Isoo with his charm and comedic timing. As much as it sucks to not have Park Ji Hyun in this one, Jung Eun Chae as the strict and commanding senior really does take the mantle of being the badass female lead in this drama. The dynamics have changed, first season it was ML getting under FL's skin and now it's vice versa.
Story so far is engaging and thrilling for most part plus the humor hits right on point. Another thing I love about the drama is that doesn't shy away from even touching topics that are still a taboo in SK like LGBTQ. The drama in it's later half becomes quite predictable where you can deduce who the killer is supposed to be easily.
The biggest let down of this season is the main antagonist, Yoo Seung Ho who fails to hit the mark by a long gap. He might be a good actor but damn he sucks in portraying a cold psychotic killer and the writing + lack of build of for his character only ruined it. Not once do I get the eerie vibes when he is on screen nor felt the dread when he is interacting with his victims. He acts more like a rich brat who kills for fun instead of a multi layered sadistic killer. They should have gone for an experienced actor someone with a wider range of acting spectrum and not just for some good looking face who only acted as a lover boy for most part in his career or at least the character should have been written in a better way.
The sequel may not match upto how good the first season was but is still a good watch.
