Darkness and unfulfilled promises
Just finished season 2…honestly I’m disappointed but bear with me here I loved the first season very much it had fantasy, tragedy, action, and funny moments all encompassed well in the plot and I looked forward to the second season even with a different setting.Now as for why I was disappointed in season 2, let’s start with the cinematography there’s nothing wrong with it at all I’m sure the action scenes were filmed very well but you see I couldn’t see it as it seemed the director decided it would be best to shoot it in the darkness and let the viewers figure out who got stabbed and when, I don’t know who thought that idea would be best but let’s move on.
Minor spoilers ahead
Second reason, The first season got a 8.5 out of me and it could have got a 10 if they had given the villains their lashings but COME TO FIND OUT the villains are still very much alive, they built a new layer to do their evil doings and killed all the characters who sacrificed everything to deal one blow to them. This this was the main reason why the second season disappointed me very much while I get it their trying to go for third season which again- is very much not NEEDED. The villains in gyeongseong creatures are always given an easy out or better yet they just keep doing their things while the characters fight tooth and nail and it amounts to absolutely nothing.
I think this is where I stand, I would enjoy having 3 seasons of park seo joon and Han seo hee having steamy chemistry , fighting monsters and looking hot while doing it shit even 15 seasons of it I won’t get enough but do it to point where it makes sense and where it leaves a satisfying mark on viewers. It’s tiring watching them fight tooth and nail just for the next seasons to go “hahaha surprise the villains are still very much alive and those attacks the MC’s did amounted to nothing and I’m still very much doing evil things” it gets to the point where it’ll be like why are they fighting when it’s not making even an inch of a difference.
My conclusion? This could have been a hundred times better if they had ended it this season. Shit it could have been a million times better if they had at least hadn’t ended with such a dumbass cliffhanger. Good luck to watchers I believe deep down this is a good show and a good idea but it’s not good enough to run it for 3 seasons. This plot just doesn’t have enough to do that with.
