Special Affairs Team TEN Season 2 (2013)

Thumps up for OCN’s crime/investigation dramas. After the thrilling end of the first season, I finally watched the long waited second season.

This season, just like the first one, had witty writing and strong characterization (something that’s lacking from many Korean dramas) which made it very appealing. The thrilling events never disappeared and the captivating action was always there.

This season’s cases were more complicated and very difficult to predict. Although that was very good on the mysterious/suspense level; it felt a bit slow at the thriller/action level, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that the cases were boring because that’s not true but there were some slow cases and sometimes over dramatic ones.

In this season, I also disliked the near absence of outside-cases interaction between the main characters unlike the first season that held many side conversations between them. Except the two firsts and the two last episodes; we only got 30 seconds to one minute at the end of each episode which wasn’t enough to deliver a proper conversation and made me want more.

This is still an amazing detective drama; one of the best dramas produced in Korea even if it doesn’t get the appropriate attention. So basically, if you liked the first season, this one is a must watch.

One thing to add: The first season’s ending was way better than the second but it’s still exciting. I will be impatiently waiting for the third season.

I admit a love/hate/love relationship with this season. I loved being able to watch the team again, especially my Joo Sang Wook. I loved a lot of the stories because they were scary, at times and very interesting. But also remember so episodes were so confusing and boring that I either fell asleep or had to watch twice to understand. In some cases, I rewatched and still didn't understand so I had to ask other people that were watching to explain. That was this season in a nutshell. Either you will love some or hate some but overall, for you crime junkies out there, it continues to be a must-see drama. Can I love Joo Sang Wook anymore?!!

Story: It´s a Sequel of the first season, so you Need to watch the first season. It has pretty much the same plot, if you can consider it plot. I think it´s just how they investigate in different cases. A bit like Vampire Prosecutor (that aired at the same time, both seasons and on the same channel OCN). Just cases they work on and a bit of a plot in the Background. Sure, it´s nice to see all These different cases but I would have liked it if they Show more of the Background Story.
Acting: It was very good and I espescially liked Choi Woo Shik as Park Min Ho!
Music: It has only 2 Songs or so, and yea.. :D But nice Songs! ^-^

Overall it´s a very nice Drama, that got me hooked until the last second, although it has got it´s flaws in the storyline. But.. this ending! Can I have a Season 3?? :D

I seriously love this drama! The suspense and mystery is just too awesome!! The story line is great because it doesn't rush right into each case but builds it up. I love how the first 2 episodes were about how season 1 ended (well of course that is normal for a sequel). One thing i liked about it was that they didn't rush right into it, but build it up and showed it over 2 episodes rather than 1. Also each case was just as suspenseful as the previous one. The ending was just amazing, and like the beginning the last case was split into 2 episodes! They put some serious thought into this!

Can i just say i love this cast, seriously i don't think i can ask for any better cast members for this drama. Every actor portrayed their character soo well.

Joo Sang Wook as Yeo Ji Hoon was just awesome! I loved how his character was hard to figure out because at the beginning you get mixed feelings about him but then as you understand what is going on you can't help it but to love him! One thing i really liked about him was how he became more casual-looking near the end, and that he became closer to his team! One thing i really liked about his character was that he kept me on my toes for the first 2 episodes because his character was seriously hard for me to figure out. But ones i understood his character i ended up loving him more haha

Jo An as Nam Ye Ri was great! i really loved how her style of clothing changed in this season. She looked gorgeous and stylish as well as tough and had the you-don't-want-to-mess-with-me vibe going on. I really liked how her character developed from being a damsel in distress to an amazing officer! I really hoped for Nam Ye Ri to end up with Yeo Ji Woon >.> seriously i wanted more romance between these two Dx (then again it is a crime drama so =/ )

Kim Sang Ho as Baek Do Sik and Choi Woo Sik as Park Min Ho were just great! i loved the random comedy factor that these two portrayed.. though i can't really call it 'comedy' but their relationship made me smile soo much! I love Choi Woo Sik as Park Min Ho, i don't think anyone could have portrayed this character any better! He was just too awesome and funny! I love Woo Sik *.*

I really liked the ost, though there was really just one song, it was still really good because it had that mystery feel to it, which fit totally in with the drama. If i had to choose which season had a better ost then, i think i like the 1st season's sound track more.. That doesn't mean i don't like this season's sound track.. I just prefer season one ost. But i love both songs!

I gave the rewatch value 9/10, which is pretty high, but that is because i don't think i would get bored watching it again, especially Joo Sang Wook's character, he was a mystery to figure out plus i love mystery/crime dramas a lot so i would rewatch it anyways. Also i think i would go over the same feelings and questions over in my mind while watching it again.. especially the ending. Seriously i think i will have to watch the last part of the last episodes over again in order to grasp what is going on xD

Overall, i gave it a 9/10 because i think this is an excellent crime/mystery drama, every episode was great, especially the ending was just too awesome!! Like the 1st season, this season ended with a cliffhanger, suggesting to me that there is definitely going to be a 3rd season!! I can't wait for it *.* I hope they will keep the casting the same because i don't think i can handle a different casting for this drama! Guess we will see what is gonna happen next!

So if you love mystery/crime/investigation dramas then i recommend you to to watch this drama! You won't be disappointed :)
