As someone who binge watched the first season in a day and half, this season was an absolute struggle to complete. Not my style!

The Good- I love this ensemble cast. Even the new ones who joined this season, were all in sync with the older characters (special shoutout to my girl, Bibi!). Everyone had their highlight moments and the matching vibes was fun to see (some of the time). The villains were well fleshed out characters, at least in the first half. There was mostly a good plot development in the show, the whole figuring things out and surprise reveals added that teensy "now we are talking" element to the show.
The action was well done, all the fights were choreographed and executed flawlessly which coupled with my unchanging love for Kim Nam-gil & new found appreciation for Sung Joon aka Hong Sik was how I got through this mess of a series.

Now for the rest.
I was cringing during 80% of this series. The series was expected to follow in the first one's footsteps and have it's classic comic relief moments, but this definitely wasn't it. Most of the humour felt forced, the exaggerated expressions & over-acting bogged the characters down and random "funny moments" inserts just took away from the the plot. Even during important moments that could make/break the story, there was no stopping the scriptwriter & director combo and the actors from behaving like they are high on crack which absolutely ruined the impact. There was no room to connect with any character or feel angry/bad/sad or any other emotion during the show because of the overt amount of fun. Especially the musical in between, god that was long and horrible. It could have been so much more.

I wanted to see drama & justice and all i got were stupid theatrics from the travelling theatre troup, as Nam Du Heon rightly said.
