Disappointed but not suprised
Honestly, after hearing that there will be a second season I wondered what it would be about as I thought that S1 ended on a good note without any plot left to discuss. I didn‘t have the highest of expectations going into this season, even though the cast is incredible and I love seeing a lot of them act.
I personally think that in terms of the storyline this season was quite one dimensional, not going into the detail of why the bad guys are doing their stuff, nor having a explanation for the very overpowered Ma Juseok. The close bond and history of lots of the new characters relationships remained questionable for me, for the expeption of Dohwi and Jaeyoul.
Something I really liked about S1 was the fact that the characters seemed to be genuinely close to each other and that closeness not being based of one single event in their past like it was for Mun and Juseok. Over time I got very bored of the endless „Juseok is good because of the incident with my grandmother“ and then them being as close as family. Also the bad guys, especially Pilkwang did not seem like they had any purpose exeot being bad. No reason for their action, not insight in how they got so strong and havent ben noticed, nothing at all. I feel like Gelly got a little better with her attachment thingy and rivalry eith Hana, but Pilkwang lacked any relevance other than being super strong.
Another thing that got really really repetitive is the use of telekinesis. Like, I get that it is the new strong power and so on but all the choking and throwing each other around got old real quick. I must admit at this point that I wasn‘t half as invested in the fighting scenes as I was in S1 ans that the final fight and summoning felt extremely underwhelming to me.
Additionally, Wigens daughter and the new counter and guide guy could have been explored way better by putting more context into their situations and more substance to their characzer other than being comedic relief.
Other than that I think that the OSTs were great (although I prefer the S1 ones a little personally) and despite the underwhelming and boring writing the acting was, as expected very nice.
I just hope that they won‘t go through with another season, though it seems like there will be another one.
