What a ride. This drama definitely didn't let me down.

At some point I was worried, they would create too many "convenient circumstances", but they held back, so that it worked most of the time. There was a strictly woven net and they didn't lose time with telling the main story, yet they managed to put some 'monsters of the week' in-between. That kept the tension high. The way they built it, helped making it look plausible overall. I had some smaller issues with some things, but nothing can be perfect, right?

The finale... woah, actually surprised me. When it started, it felt a bit sobering because there wasn't much tension in the "hunt". Who would have thought, that the actual thing slowly crawled to the surface only in the last minutes. Guess, I was too hasty.

I really liked the writing of the main villain. First of all the actor. He just got 'that face', you know? It's made for those kind of roles (if the acting is right). But I also liked that they put some depth into it, so that it felt more palpable. That way it didn't even bother me, that they revealed the identity early on.

Lee Jin Wook made quite a good figure and didn't let down till the end. I enjoyed his character more than I thought (I wasn't fond of the actor before). Of course, there's a dark dusty past that tries to stay hidden, yet gets dragged to the surface. But LJW displayed it so well, that I grew to like his character a lot. A somewhat worthy successor of Jang Hyuk.

As for Kang Kwon Joo... I think she's a complicated character to approach. That was already the case in the first season and didn't change here. She's got this calm shyness all the time and never really breaks out, which frustrated me sometimes.

So, now that it's over, I guess, I really need to start season 3.
