K-DRAMA FEELS

This is a Makjang. So, I trust that if you like those and you’ve watched season 1 you already expect this to be over the top and exaggerated.

It’s the same old thing over and over again. Bullying, murder, revenge and Repeat.

I enjoyed the courtroom scenes.

The young cast are all truly amazing, and it makes the series even more enjoyable.

My favorite character is still Lee Ji Ah as Shim Su-ryeon. She’s really the Queen of Hera Palace.

My Overall Rating – 8.0/10 (Season 2 was a rollercoaster but not as good as Season 1. Plot twists were predictable but all in all, S2 was still enjoyable.
