I think what I like the most about Season 2 is that so many of the characters only have part of the story. Jun…
yeah it was obvious as hell which is why I'm a little salty that junho didn't clock it considering his literal profession. but oh well, this is a drama after all
Season 2 are always a hit or miss for me very sorry it was long way miss something was definitely missing here…
i think it's because season one was a complete season, if the show wouldn't have been greenlit for the next season, the ending and the ends were still somewhat tied up. this season, however, is just a set up season for the next, and considering they greenlit two seasons together, it makes sense why they took up all this seven episode real estate JUST for setting up the next (maybe last?) season
i finally finished this , i liked the story , the actors & their relationship , but what the hell is wrong with…
I agree with you, the ML is infuriatingly of one mind and stubborn as hell. as for the other characters, I think there are no 2nd and 3rd leads, it's more of an ensemble cast so everyone gets a little screen time here and there. I think it was refreshing to see someone like Im Shi Wan who was a deeply flawed but realistic character and someone a lot of us would be like if we ended up in this situation. We'll definitely see more from him in season 3
I feel this season was more detailed than the first one. The games were more interesting imo and we got a wider…
I wish we got a longer season instead of splitting it into two separate ones because this was basically just the set up for everything else to come in season 3. I'm not complaining though, we got to spend a bit more time with the players and their personalities this time around.
I absolutely adore the parallels we got in terms of the notions and expectations of masculinity and femininity and how our characters re: dae ho and hyun ju defy them. super well done!
Every now and then I think about how subversive this drama was (romantically) for its time (kinda still is). A very well-written insight into how characters don't have to end up with each other just because they are the star billed ML and FL.
That instead we can have complex relationships, an incredibly passionate enemies to "let's use each other for our personal benefits" to "no one else in the whole world understands me like you do" to lovers. Such a masterclass in writing and truly ahead of its time the romance here was.
