Let's go Season 3!
To give my honest opinions, story wise I had preferred Season 1. Maybe it was because there were more episodes & more story/character building to be done in S1, it felt more thrilling and suspenseful. For S2, there's nothing for me to pick on for the acting wise. All actors did a great job? The OSTS were great + the BGM they used was great too. I will say the story itself wasn't as wow as S1...
Maybe i will list down some of the points I liked:
- Shim Suryeon's ploy + brains. That plan to reinstate her role (switching back her identities) was awesome
- Yoonhee committing to revenging for Suryeon. Even when Rona "died", she still kept her promise. While she did killed Seola, I pretty much have forgiven given the amount of things she has been through in S2. She definitely earned my tears this season. Hoping she will be back in S3 alongside Suryeon!!
- Dantae breaking down in prison. At least he sincerely loved Aegyo.
- Hera Palace Prison Squad. Totally loved the scene in court and them in their prisoner outfits HAHAHHAA
- Logan. Nothing much to say about his character but i felt he was kinda under utilized in this season. Can't deny his chemistry with Suryeon but it still feels kinda weird given the relationship they have? Like Logan is in love with her step-sister's mum?
Some points i did not like:
- Plot twists were predictable (I guess as much Aegyo died in S1 & Rona's Dad was Yoonchul)
- Inconsistency in Seojin's character. She suddenly became kinda weak, though i know it was for the sake of Eunbyeol. But i do enjoy the part when the 3 of them worked together and her acting surprised with DT's actions LOL. Then at the last few eps she's sudden kinda evil again
- Yoonchul. He really earned my trust right there and down the drain in few episodes. But at least he did something right in the last episode so it's fine
- Jenny + Minhyuk? Like wtf I thought Jenny had some character development and became best friends with Rona. But that last episode? It seems like her EQ/IQ has gone down the drains. Minhyuk seriously had no development throughout 2 seasons sigh
What I would hope to see in S3:
Well, it's unlikely that Logan gonna survive in S3, since almost everyone who died in front of SR never made it back? Unless the writer uses that revive trope again (but it was already used twice in this season?). New villian will most likely be Jenny's Dad & of course Dantae. He seem to be able to sneak out of prison freely? Joowan's character is mysterious, and him leaving the car right before Logan d*ed seems sus. But there's also a possibility he is Suryeon's ex-husband (i know it was a different actor before but they looked similar)?
- Suryeon + Yoonhee reunion. Sigh i loved the both of them, so I hope S3 has more of their interactions
- Eunbyeol coming to her senses. Girl only gets crazier in S2 + that creepy nanny ?? She might be part of the villian trope?
- Rona & Seokhoon. These 2 cuties, I think S3 will show some development between them?
All in all, S2 was still enjoyable. Still in awe that Suryeon is really damn smart. She's really the Queen of Hera Palace. I hope she keeps her spot and sanity. Her loved ones kept dying in front of her. See you guys in S3!
