WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON 1
From the start I hated the second season. But after half of the season (don't know how I could continue watching, suppose i was to curious) I started to like the drama and at the end I had surrendered. I can’t remember how many times I have rewatch this drama or how many times I have cried over it.
STORY- It is so sad and heartbreaking in the beginning that I almost dropped the drama right away but my curiosity for what actually happened to some of the characters made me continue watching and then I also couldn’t stop watching when my favorite actor was acting. Jin Chang Wook as the new instructor and trainer Chang An with a very special view of training and pushes the team and Qi Bai Cao to their edge. I also feel so sorry for Fang Ting Hao played by Chen Sean, it’s amazing and so heartbreaking how deep his love is for Qi Bai Cao. I feel that in this story there is so much about changing and development for almost all the characters. Not in just fighting but how they are as persons and humans and how they see each other either as friends or enemies.
ACTING/CAST- I’m so sad that Yanga Yang couldn’t film in this season I missed him so much, especially with season 1 ending. Jin Chang Wook was the one that healed my wounds. His acting is flawless as always. But this time I think that Chen Sean is in the same lead now. Fang Ting Hao’s broken heart was very good played out by Chen Sean, he did a good job with the feelings, even better in the second season than the first. I also should mention Qi Bai’s best friend Fan Xiao Ying played by Tan Song Yun, I liked her acting skill, she was the funniest one to watch. I can even say that I like her character more than Qi Bai Cao, because she has this innocent playful mind and makes them end up in some troubles but with an innocent mind and does everything for her friends, even giving her biggest love away to her best friend and even be happy about it.
Not to mention Qi Bai’s proudest opponent from the start, Kim Min Joo played by Jiang Yi Yi. I like her fierce determination to defeat Qi Bai and how much she changed from feeling pushed down and humiliated by the matches that she lost against Qi Bai in the beginning and actually taking that as a challenge to get better and that some day defeat Qi Bai fair and square, without any bad feelings.
I really liked the new Qi Bai Cao, she is so much better with the facial expressions than the first one. I think that she expresses less anxiety than the first actor, Hu Bing Qing. The new Qi Bai Cao even showed more strength psychological. She could take more in a better way even after what happened in the first season.
MUSIC- The music was the best. It took out the deepest feelings. It really did a big thing in the drama.
REWATCH VALUE- Absolutely! As many times you can! Just because the second season is even more cluttered in the begining than the first season so you need to watch it again to get all the details. If you miss some details you will not enjoy the funny scenes nor the good scenes and you will note understand why good people do bad things. (just hinting to things in the drama)
OVERALL- the 2 season is so much better than the 1. At first you may not like it but trust me, it gets better, just watch it until the end. But I say the same as in the first review of season 1. There are too many episodes, the story is too long, I would have drop this one if it wasn’t for my curiosity. But this time I really think that every episode was worth it compared to season 1 where I think that they could have cut down story a bit. But in the second season they really needed every episode, but maybe they could have made 4 seasons instead of 3 so that the first and the second didn’t get so long.
