That's right folks, Hwang Si Mok finally gets to eat! The end. (Just kidding)
The second season of Stranger starts 2-3 years later, when he is transferred again and reunited with Han Yeo Jin. You definitely have to have watched the first season to enjoy season two, since many of the characters appear again and the plot also ties back to past events. This time, they're a bit at odds, since the police and prosecution are fighting over investigative rights and they both sit on a special council. But despite that, you can't separate the dream team and they still end up working together to figure out the truth.
The plot is so unpredictable and complicated and little details end up being significant later on. It's definitely a drama where you have to use your brain and I found myself rewinding a few times to catch stuff that I didn't understand. I don't want to spoil things, but Seo Dong Jae is also in season 2 and let me just say, I was NOT expecting things to go in the direction they did.
Acting/Cast: Really talented cast and you'll see lots of familiar faces if you watch dramas. If you're a fan of the Reply 1998 / Prison Playbook, you'll notice Choi Moo Sung who played Taek's father / Kim Min Chul, and Jeon Hye Jin who appeared in Search:WWW is back playing another strong female role. There's also a cameo at the end from one of my favs, Kim Won Hee!
I feel like this drama explores the varying shades of black and white a lot. Similarly to Season 1, you're left guessing who is a good and bad guy, and sometimes there's not a definitive answer. You see really selfish, terrible people in this drama, but also people who do the right things under tough circumstances.
Something that makes me feel hopeful is that despite how terrible other people are, Hwang Si Mok and Han Yeo Jin really champion justice and don't care about offending other people or the consequences.
I've heard the drama did really well and I think the ending leaves room for a Season 3, so hopefully that happens!
Music: I honestly don't really remember the music, but since it is a suspense drama I'm sure that it also contributed to building the mood of the drama. The only song I really remember is Yoon Mi Rae's Lost, which really caught my ear.
