Hit and miss in many aspects

I watched the first season last Year and loved it so I was very exited for the second one but it isn't that great as the first.

Overall the actors did a really good job and portrait every emotion well. The story had many interesting elements and introduced us to new things in the world of the counters.

In this season we have clear antagonists since the beginning and the focus lies on that. They are interesting but sadly we don't dig that deep into their motivations and backstories.

They New counter has his lovely moments but is overall just there for laughs on his own costs. He is way to clumsy and goes always over the top.

This is more a personal matter but I was expecting that after season one we now would finally see Hana and Mun to start a relationship because of their insane chemistry. But instead the writers introduced an old flame from here and went on with it. Even when you could think he was of the table, they show us the possibility of them ending together rather than what most of the fans wanted. And still Mun and Hana have moments with each other so I was holding on to that hope till the end just to get disappointed.

On the other hand I really liked Mrs. Chu's backstory and the execution of it in the present.

The Counters really become a close family in this season and I loved watching that.

I don't know if there is going to be a 3rd season since there weren't any hints to it, but i am not sure if I would watch it, when the writing gets worse and Mun and Hana are still no option for the writers and they put her with the piano guy.
