silly take on polyamory, but I'm happy that people are brave enough to make series about that kind of relationship too! Quite idealistic, humorous but enjoyable. To put it simply, I like how this drama shows things that society deems as out of the ordinary and weird. Not only age gaps, but mothers having life outside of being a mother or wife, lesbian weddings as something normal, adoption as something normal... Also the introduction of things like that 'friend marriage' or whatever that name was. Showcase of how far society and capitalism pushed us, that now we genuinely consider things like that because it's easier on finances as well as to avoid society criticism. Silly show, but it does touch a lot of difficult, out-of-ordinary topics.
As good as season 1, in my humble opinion <3 stakes weren't the same, because it wasn't about characters' personal affairs, but it was still easy to connect and feel for other characters, so it was still v emotional and engaging! I hope one day season 3 will be released, because the series is soooooo good and intriguing to watch!
So Moon was head over heels for Do Ha Na and I really liked that. In Season 2 they turned out to be siblings randomly.…
OMYGOD RIGHT??? Like, in season 1 they clearly had romantic tension, and lots of romantic soon-to-be-couple scenes, especially with SoMun introducing Hana as his gf to his grandparents! But here, even tho they chemistry is still there between actors, it's clearly that they tried to write their dynamic as more of a siblings-like ðŸ˜
Season 1 was def better in my opinion. Or at least, to me personally. Maybe because first season introduced us…
After finishing and being delighted with season 1, I went straight into watching season 2 without reading any comments, excited and happy about the new plot and characters development... And I ended up with disappointment and getting one BAMF character and others being ridiculously weak if they're not against lvl 1 or normal people... I think it's interesting that the score here is so high but most of the comments are actually expressing disappointment. I think that the best course of action is just to watch that season yourself and check if you end up liking it or not. I personally, like I said, was disappointed, but I still enjoyed watching it. It's just a clear downgrade from season 1. In conclusion, to each their own of course, but in my personal opinion, the first season was way better.
Season 1 was def better in my opinion. Or at least, to me personally. Maybe because first season introduced us to the new world and its new rules. Or maybe because season 1 had better distributed roles and strength within the group. Here it's SoMun being the God and the rest barely holding on. I thought it's gonna change after a certain event, but no, it didn't. Imo it's boring this way. Also first season hinted at ChuMae being seriously ill or strained or sth like that, but season 2 works as if that never happened. The fact that the ending was your typical 'power of friendship' that doesn't even do anything in the end (and made SoMun had to do all the work and saving alone as always) was such a disappointment too. I get that he's an Ace and atypical and things, but come on. The others are so, so below his level its kinda disturbing. They talk about "we will support you, you're not alone" but in the end he DOES have to fight basically alone and protect and save them all. All the time. And that ending when SoMun went away for few months to teach others like.. gods, teach your team first! I mean, all I was thinking that if they met another powerful evil spirit, they all would end up dead without him. Another things I dislike is that now, they can't even kill side characters. They kileld two important, to our main group, side characters, but in season 2 they can't kill anyone like that. That maybe-Hana's-love-interest or that officer who was Motak's friend. Seriously! I get that it's hard and unusal to kill off your main characters, but at least don't be scared to kill of side chracters! or bad guys! I know Choi Jang (?) was actually good and just angry, but it would be good ending for him. But no, no one dead except those obviously evil guys with evil spirits, who also only killed each other. Eh. In seaon 1 we had just normal people who were arrogant or egotistical and just wanted money or position and that's why they did bad deeds. But here we only have evil spirits, and that one kid who got redemption. I also question why we had none of the other evil spirits. We saw our cast only ever follow or catch the main villains, but it never happened here that its lvl 1 or 2 that stepped into their territory or that they had to go after it instead. As if, evil spirits suddenly... stopped appearing. Break time maybe? In first season they still did appear. a lot. or if they didn't it made sense bc they were grouping with main villains. But it still kept happening! The bad guys were really good and interesting tho. And the concept of good people also being in danger of evil spirits was a good idea.
Really good, but it's so hard to find good subs for the series. First few episodes were so badly translated, it was hilarious at times. Still can't get over subs translating everthing as 'baby' lmao but the series was great, fights were good, and the potential season 2 is so exciting!
Episodes 6-8 (second watch):NOW I remember why I down-rated this show after liking it so much through episode…
It's also absurd to move in with a guy who tricked you, beat you up and left you on the outside in the trash. And yet Chihiro stayed. Because let's be honest here, Chihiro keeps on making poor life choices, and going into that van instead of running away was one of them. Then again, he just wanted to protect that girl, knowing if he run away with Haoran, bad guy MAY target her next just because.
Imo, rest of their actions also made sense, they kept on making poor choices because of their trauma as well as desire to protect the other! I got kinda stressed after reading your comment, that it's gonna be bullshit ending, but the flow of the show and heaviness as well as love between characters stayed the same, so. I guess to each their own :D
From the beginning to the ending - simply amazing. It's a heavy story, often times hard to watch, but all choices and emotions feel very raw. It's a good series, worth watching. First episode may be a little... boring? for some. but after the second one, you quickly get hooked!
The most annoying thing about this season was how weak Woojin was. Every fight he just... keep on losing. And wasn't he supposed to be on similar level as Geon? Obviously, Geon is better than him, but there shouldn't be THAT MUCH of a bridge between their skills 😠bruh. I really liked these two being a Marine Duo, but in this season there wasn't all that much of it, so eh. It was also annoying how Villain's action had little to no consequenses for our main boy. In s1 they killed two important main characters, and here they couldn't even seriously injury anyone! Someone got hurt, but then boom great, quick recovery, and then the same happens to the next person and so on. Boring, honestly. But when I was watching it I was way to engaged in the plot and the characters I like to see all the annoying stuff, so there's that. But anyhow, season 1 was wayyyyyy better, that's for sure! I wonder when, or if, season 3 will drop and if our main duo will be actually a powerdul duo again, as they were at the end of season 1.
the only downside of season 2 is that it doesn't have enough Han Ho's screen time. I feel like he was more of a side character here, especially if we compare his screentime to season 1 :(
Not sure if it's an unpopular opinion, but I personally really enjoyed it. Maybe I'm too emotional or maybe I don't watch all that many court dramas, but characters as well as cases were really interesting. Usually in this kind of dramas we focus of welathy vs poor (so bad vs good), but here? The first case was about dog! The way pets are treated! It was so uncommon and interesting! And then we got all those different minority groups being represented! You don't usually get immigrants' stories, and disabled people usually are only here to be sad and pathetic to make you cry, and yet, they had strong and annoying personalities, they weren't your typical victims with no flaws. Some cases were more show than the actual trials, but it was still very good. And main cast! Some court dramas (like Beyond the Bar for example) focus solely on two main characters and that's it. But here? All these ppl from the ProBono were actually characters with flaws and goals and backstory. The least developed was our strong dummy but apart from him, they all got a little time to shine, for viewers to get to know them. I like when the group of people in the show actually exists as their own characters instead of being just mains' friends. They also have a strong friendship and loyalty. Some scenes of these five going together reminded me of my beloved Vicenzo. Personally, I would recommend that series wholeheartedly to anyone who likes court dramas, teamwork and characters who are more than mains' friends/teammates. I would also love to see second season someday, if it was possible. :)
Not only a great revenge series, but also has really great male friendships! It was just sooo satisfying to watch, and certain scenes made me lose some tears too... Honestly, great series, you'll should give it a chance <3
It was good but not extra good. It was very interesting at the beginning but at some point like 7/8 ep started to get a little boring to me. I don't particularly like those "do i love him or not" tropes and misunderstanding tropes, so there's that. Plus is that there were "steamy nights" which is nice because they are adults, so it's normal. Worth watching (especially bc of cast!!) but its not must watch
To put it simply, I like how this drama shows things that society deems as out of the ordinary and weird.
