The curious case of a drama that honestly didn’t need a second season. The entire arc of this season could have been condensed into about three episodes. Combined with the first season, this continuation had zero impact and relevance to what we saw in the initial and decisive season. It felt as though the stories were disconnected, with the only link being the protagonists who, somehow, fell in love in the first season. This romance, forged amidst the insane chaos of a Japanese hospital, seemed absurdly out of place. Who thinks of romance in such a macabre and chaotic environment? These are the quirks only South Korea can provide.

The CGI was, to say the least, poor and mediocre. What’s even more astonishing is that we’re talking about a standard Netflix drama. However, not everything was a total loss. Claudia Kim was phenomenal, perfectly embodying a Japanese aristocrat. She was a character who, despite despising human weaknesses such as emotions, harboured a sick and vengeful obsession with Jang. She managed to maintain this contradiction assertively and fully, with lines in Japanese that sounded beautiful, always maintaining a serene and unique tone. Bae Hyeon Seong, portraying Seung Jo, was also worthy of praise. He finally broke away from the roles of innocent and pure characters he usually plays and did very well.

I liked the subtle ending of the drama, suggesting that they would start a new story there and finally leave the past behind. Fortunately, they didn’t leave any room for a third season. We’re done here and that’s it.
