To be honest, I had to fight with myself a couple of times to do not drop it.

*** SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS ***

First of all, it totally resets everything from the previous season. Theoretically, a story is continued but please - everyone both in prosecution and police should be basically scared of Shi Mok like hell. He brought down the biggest tycoon as well as one of the closest men for the Korean President. Both public and police/prosecution inner circles must know everything on him in detail - here it seems like they do not. The police bad woman and her equally bad superior should basically piss their pants after getting to know who's on the other side and the bad prosecutors should also do EVERYTHING they can to stop him from joing the commission equally pissing their pants that he'll cause troubles for all of them. However, it doesn't happen. She Mok is basically nerfed and pushed back and back, bullied by everyone (he's still pure and fair but even police and friends treat him as an enemy!!!), while police pack from the first season gets promotions out of nowhere. Also, a bad/good/shady, young prosecutor from the first season does everything like he did not have any problems - he should be always scared, monitored and invigilated by a lot of parties! It does not make sense at all, it does not work like that. I get that they had to present a new story, it started well but it went totally wrong - worse and worse with each episode.

Next thing - there's literally no bond between Shi Mok, that police girl and the other "friends". The first season established quite strong understanding as well as friendships. We could expect it to be continued already in a perfectly working team with no superiors, no external forces being able to create the slightest confusion between them. Especially with our police girl - so pure and particular about honor, justice etc. - inn the end of the 1st season, it turned out that LITERALLY, ONLY Shi Mok & the stood by justice side, was honest and true to those values. After all the others disappointed the police girl returning to normal, corrupted, self-centred or irrelevant attitudes, Shi Mok literally slayed them and the public with honesty, good intentions and from beginning to the end - went to TV to keep his promise, even the police girl was quite passive, he gave chances to those who deserved, destroyed evil-doers, gave credit to all working with him even if they were not pure at all.

Here - it's all erased. The police girl behaves like she cares only about her new job - doing what superiors want instead of rebelling from the previous seasons, she openly stoods against and against Shi Mok while he's still the only pure being in this show - the only rational party of the whole commission even. He still does things he doesn't have to for his previous friends like getting a warrant for them without even being asked for - what's more - not only without being asked but while being betrayed by people he keeps helping just for the sake of some stupid prejudice and conflict of interests between their organisations - we see how the police girl's assistant blabbers bullshit that Shi Mok is just a prosecutor like the whole rest and that during the meeting he was against them, that he couldn't ask him for help - which is a total, total bullshit and Shi Mok does everything without even being asked. The police girl still does nothing, goes against and against him for no f***ing reason.

I really can't accept a lot of things happening here. There're interesting parts, yes, the story of the ex-wife may be a great arc. The team gets together in the end and brings down the new bad guys but it's horrible, literally horrible and so stupid. Suddenly, they're friends again while Shi Mok is still the only pure one but why does he care that much about the police girl if she's basically treating him like shit in this season.

The intrigue is also just boring & small as compared to the blast, highest degree one from the 1st season. A horrible disappointment.

I totally do not understand the ideas behind it, I do not like the 2nd season while I totally loved the 1st one both because of th intrigues, characters, development.
