Shinhannin Flag 2 (2022)

Good than What You Think

They wrap up Season 1 perfectly.. After all the plot twist they showed in Season 1, of coz I continued to watch Season 2 ^_^

The story is everywhere but addictive.. The next time I know, I keep click next episode until the last.. It was entertaining and engaging..To summarise the drama, obsession really can make people crazy.. That's why human is more scary than ghost.. The betrayal, anxious, frustrated, angry, emotional, all of it into the drama..

Plot twist here, plot twist there, the story keep going until you don't know what's happening and where this is going to be.. Which one is the truth..?? Everyone just being suspicious.. As expected from Anata no Ban desu team.. Another great mind killing drama is produce.

Other than that, Ninomiya role totally outstanding here..Yoshine Kyoko talent was fully develop in this drama.. All I can see is her and Nishijima Hidetoshi throughout the journey.. They nailed it!!

Apart from that, you won't miss out the OST.. I can't express how much I love that song.. It was really fit the drama..The lyric and the melody were amazing that I didn't skip the song every episode XD

Overall I give 9.5/10. Satisfying at its finest.. Totally recommended to watch ^_^

That's what happens when the writers play with their viewers' intelligence

This review is published twice on both the first and the "second" season's pages of this drama.

I've started watching Shinhnannin Flag with the impression that this was a moderately long mystery drama that would conclude in ten episodes. The story plot looked promising and I rated it with an 8 after watching the first four episodes as each and every one of them concluded with some interesting and in some cases thrilling cliffhangers.

Unfortunately in the process these cliffhangers became the reason why this drama exists!
The story plot doesn't seem to have any direction or plan. It didn't and it doesn't move forward or progressing in any logical manner. The unnumbered characters that were introduced in the first episodes are completely two dimensional and most of them are depicted as caricatures, for reasons that only the writers know.
The only character who seem to have some solid background is that of the ML played by the very experienced and serious Nishijima Hidetoshi who is trying his best to depict the grief stricken and victimized husband in a case of triple kidnapping.

All the characters of this drama have been used and have been presented as possible suspects, with the mere purpose of providing a supposedly unexpected twist and a cliffhanger at the end of each and every episode, without resolving anything, without giving any new information and without any reasonable connection with the plot.

The first ten episodes completed without any conclusion to this drama but don't worry because one week later a "second" season started .

That was the point where it became obvious that the writers seem to find as a good idea to play with their viewers' intelligence and patience in order to retain the viewership.
This drama's first and second season ( or this 20 episode's drama) don't have a plan and a plot neither solid characters and serve only one aim. To manipulate you to keep on watching it, hoping that the plot will progress towards something that makes sense, something that has not happen up until the 14 episode that I personally managed to watch.

The only thing that this drama managed to make me feel is to be disgusted by the way that the writers are trying to manipulate the viewers and that is the reason why I'm now rating both the seasons of this drama with a very valid 2,5 and I intend to blacklist both the director, the writer and the actors of this drama.

I'll note down their names and I'll avoid from now on to watch anything that the they make or participate.

If you are thinking to watch this drama DON'T.
And if you are thinking to keep watching this drama DROP IT.

2,5 out of 10 to both seasons with a DROPPED flag though I watched the first 10 episodes and I even gave a chance to next four because I don't like to be cheated and manipulated.
