Less Revenge More 'Fix the Unjust'
Surprisingly, I like season 2 better than season 1. This season is like Taxi Driver 1 with steroid. You either like it or hate it - I think it's hard to get middle ground on this.
The premise remains the same. It's a service for revenge, giving option for those who want to kill themselves or can't see way out to cancel their suicide plan and go back to live and move on. The characters have all changed, they are stronger. This is not only physically stronger but also there're new depths in each character.
The new Kim Do Gi reminds me of Jason Bourne or Kim Je Ha of K2. The superhero who has everything, brain and physic. The kind of hero that too good to be true but I simply don't care. I want entertainment, I got entertainment. At least, the character is consistent throughout the series. Even Ahn Go Eun became this super cool hacker who even know how to fight. What a change, right?
Story-wise, I like that there is no 'in house' prison like season 1. Each revenge feels less and less like a revenge but more like reclaim the justice - vigilante way, of course. The story has more layers. Justice is not black and white, most time, it is grey. I like this kind of story because reality is never black and white. I like the variety of topic they brought in this season. From trafficking to cult, to fraud and drugs. Villages and cities. In South Korea and abroad. This provides opportunity for each actor to play different character. What a joy to see. Everyone has their own time to shine.
Can we talk about Shin Jae Ha as On Ha Joon. He stole the show. I LOVE Je Hoon but can't lie, Jae Ha gave everything he has. That last episode, where he just sit, no talk, no funny face but tells a lot of emotions is one of my fave scene. Perfect cast! Interesting character that is executed very very well. I can't wait to see more of him, protagonis, antagonis, bring them all.
Another one that stole the show despite short screen time is Shim So Young as Lim Bok Ja. Please, bring her back in the sequel. She is perfect!
This is a perfect drama for those who like super hero action. Binge-watching if you like but also watch 1-2 episode per sitting is recommended. I applaud the director, she is doing awesome job here. I like it that much, I immediately rewatch the drama when I finished episode 16.
