A complete mess
I don't even know what I've just watched. I started it not knowing bout the plot but I liked the cast, it turns out that was the only thing worth it.Full of plot holes.
Like, June? What/Who is her? She was introduced as a worker in the museum, but then it turns out she is a cursed object? She was related to the typewriter, they most likely appear at the same time and no one noticed. Suddenly nor Katha nor Triphob knew her, even though they had seemingly been working tgt. So what is with her?
And the boys with the crystal ball? Like, how did the second guy resurrect?
Nanon's character? First, he was a crippled boy who turned out to be a cursed object. But then, he is one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse. Call that character development.
And the queer-coded relationship between Dome and Katha. Was that intentional? Or does GMM simply not know how to write a proper friendship between two boys?
And the end is simply a rushed nonsensical mess, not even gonna talk about that, and the multiple different universes/realities or whatever.
All in all, I pushed myself to the end because I liked the acting but I feel like I've just wasted my time.

Thrilling
I had a great time watching this show. Not only was it very entertaining but also all the athlete's actions and attitudes were truly sporty and supportive, which made watching the competition more refreshing and enjoyable.The challenges were mostly about strength and stamina, but those athletes who compete in sports that require a different type of energy did an amazing job and were able to showcase their abilities and hard work which I have to say I'm proud of.
overall, It was a very entertaining and thrilling competition.
I will most definitely watch a second season if they do one!!

Mostly my cast list rants tbh
Honestly, I'm not gonna compare it with the first season cause it's been so long I don't even remember. But I truly enjoyed this one nonetheless.But I'll say truly, Song Kang is not even a main cast here, for most of the drama I even forgot he was there. The soldiers carried the season for me.
I don't even know why Sangwook is listed as a main character if he doesn't even have ten minutes of screen time, similarly having Min Seojin as a guest role is unfair, he was on screen for longer than Cha Hyunsoo, Like, even Kang Seokchan has more lines. And Jisu dies in like episode three...
Anyway, cast list rant aside, I truly enjoyed the season.
As I said, the soldiers did it for me, their story was the most interesting, especially when, in the last two episodes, they go looking for their missing friend I was so invested in it, when Jonghyun and Seokchan were killed ( I still have hopes for them) I was devastated. Amazing job from Kim Muyol (Sergeant Kim) and Yoo Ohsung (Sergeant Tak)
What more to say? Eunyoo, amazing as expected.
Hyunsoo, forgot about him, and how does he un-stone himself or whatever? Idk And now, he's a full monster I guess
Eunhyuk is king of monsters now, interesting character setting for next season.
Lastly, I have to appreciate Kim Shiah's job here, I just saw See You in my 19th life, and comparing both her works I can see she has a promising future ahead, nailed both.
Choi Go as Youngsoo also did amazing, truly felt his rage.
This season fulfilled my expectations and set a good precedent for the next one, I'm so looking forward next summer.
