i just finished the series that ive been waiting for nearly 3 years for and it felt unsatisfactory,
Theres was way too many new characters introduced this season and there wasnt really any closure for the MANY subplots they had going on this season, there was way too much chaos in new storylines to even follow up on the original plot and characters. I felt as if the original cast was being overshadowed and almost hidden with all the new characters that were introduced, they had very brief intros and it didn't quite make sense how it all played out overall. The cgi felt like the creators or animators i should say picked and chose what monsters they wanted to look real versus some looking like a bad video game especially in the first 2 episodes. I really love LOVE hyun soo, eun yoo and cha young the solider i really loved their screen time and chemistry throughout the episodes, it sort of felt like a love triangle which gave it the episodes a more interesting factor. I do have to say i feel like Hyun Soo was completely sidelined and almost hidden most of the episodes and i was really confused as to what he was doing and where he was i feel like he should've been the main focus after he turned into stone at the laboratory but they just completely skipped and he then appeared with yi kyoungs daughter which was very disappointing. This whole story line with yi kyung and her having a monster baby was really unnecessary to me and it made me loose track of the plot even more. The fact she dies with horrible illusions as a monster in the end made me feel so sad and it really made it worse when her daughter didn't even stay with her and just left after turning her into a monster, there was no emotional attachment and it had me confused. Moving on i feel like the stories and plots were left on too many cliffhangers especially the story and history of chief ji, her existence and suspicion was really driving me with curiosity the whole season and she never got disclosed or explained, I also feel like the relationship of the sick girl and the solider had a good focus when it really wasn't needed, This season has too big of an introduction for all the characters then it didn't lead anywhere! i really loved the 1st season and cast so i had to watch this season but it seemed like these three years weren't taken into account into making this season it seems rushed and too chaotic,then to leave on another cliffhanger to wait 6 months for the third season without having any closure is absurd, I watched the whole season 2 in just one day now i will forget everything by the time it comes out ill have to rewatch it!
if eun soo met her brother early on in the show and they had developed a clean story line showcasing hyun soo as the main focus in the lab escaping and finding more infectees like him trying to find equality and safety then expanding the love story with eun soo then introducing solider cha leading to chemistry and action it then would've been so much more enjoyable then having to understand this craziness with yi kyoungs monster baby who had no point in the show at all as well as the focus with the scientist being obsessed with finding all these new monsters! Anyways i've never written a review before so this has been a real rant! Let me know what you thought of the season 2 and well see if this comes to make a little sense in the third season! Hopefully i didn't repeat my self too many times lol and hopefully this doesn't offend anyone who read the webtoon because i did not read it so i don't know if my words are contrast to what the webtoon portrays!
