Mysterious Game of High Tech Busybodies

Yes, the plot of season 2 is similar to Sweet Revenge 1. Bullies and evil doers get punished through a mysterious revenge game on a mobile phone of the female lead. This sequel however is less fantasy, more reality. Every episode seems a day-to-day journal of young adults, their struggles in life, human dynamics. It's all about the bonding of brothers, sisters, children, parents, students, and their teachers.

The good

The cast has to play the usual suspects of school drama, but they feel authentic. No one acts over the top, the love scenes are cute, the feelings relatable. Kudos for bringing up the character of Ha Rok Hee, who's more of a real knight than the oppas in this drama. I love this kind of comedy that helps to ease the pain or tension when bullies are at work, and darker themes like corruption, abandonment, or divorce are treated lightly.

The bad

The wicked characters aren't really fleshed out in this sequel, and that's a pity. I would have loved to see more background of the bullies as well. Also there aren't many clues on the secret who's the Master of the game. Why is that? Are they planning another series to pick up that storyline? I don't know.

Rewatch Value

I've seen every episode, but I don't think I will watch this series again, unless somebody tells me there are scenes that point towards the Master of the Revenge Game. Really, this riddle is bugging me.

Overall

What I like about this drama is that human errors are easily forgiven or forgotten. Some boundaries get really tested, emotions get out of hand, but never too much, or too long. So, if you're a fan of light, slice-of-life drama and you don't have a problem with love triangles, you will be entertained.
