Cannot stand alone well (need to watch season 1 first) . Leaves room for a 3rd season
8/10 is my rating. This is a 2024 South Korean Science fiction, Horror, Thriller series with 43-56 minute episodes.
First I provide a Unique synopsis then review.
Synopsis
The first season took place in 1945. Fast forward to 2024 (79 years later) and Yoon Chae-Ok (Han So-Hee) is working with a mysterious group of people who help locate missing persons. She thinks Master Jang (Park Seo-jun) is long departed and kept herself away, while he was alive, because of the creature inside she has barely learned to control. While pirsuing a missing person, Chae-ok (Han So-hee) encounters a man who she, at first thinks is Master Jang but how can that be? He looks exactly as he did 79 years before. But this man Jang Ho-Jae (Park Seo-jun), says he is not Master Jang and does not seem to recognize her at all. They decide to work together on cases since they have some of the same goals.
Review
It is exciting and definitely lets us know what happens with all the major characters and even some of the minor ones. It could not stand very well alone, you need the backstory from the 1st season for many of the events of the first season to make sense. I was not suprised it end with a cliff hanger. Many of the South Korean content that Netflix has does not follow the pattern of one season, sometimes two, that end very neatly. It was something I loved about South Korean series, that they did not drag it on across many seasons. So, there are all the elements there for this to go another season. It was good and they did delve into the romance more in this one. I would not consider it necessarily happy, but one would not expect something like this to be all round happy. If you watched the first season, I highly recommend this second as I feel it does add a lot of depth to the story. I don’t know if I would rewatch it as a lot depends on where the entire series ultimateldy goes and how it all ends up. I have never felt compelled to watch “Game of Thrones” again even though I enjoyed it while I was watching it because it ended so horribly in my opinion. So, I can’t say at this point if I would watch it again or not.
Spoilers
I really like Park Seo-jun as an actor. So I am drawn to things he is in anyway. He has not disappointed in this role. He is heroic and compassionate and yet tough and resolute.
There are so relatively few series like this so it is hard to be overly picky. My main critique is just the Netflix effect where they drag it on and there is no great assurance they will finish the story. It all has to do with how much money they make off it whether we will see the seasons that would finalize the story. Other than that it is very good for what it is. It has that other worldly science fiction and horror element that is more rare for series.
