THE SHORT VERDICT:
Less slick and less stylish than the first season, this second season is grittier, darker and way bloodier.
While I missed the finesse of Season 1, Season 2 did give us more meat in terms of character development and team & relationship dynamics.
The episode-to-episode crimes generally also showed more complexity compared to those in Season 1.
Most importantly, Season 2 gave us more time with our favorite vampire prosecutor – and who can argue with that?
THE SHORT VERDICT:
Moon/Sun is basically a romance dressed as a simplified saguek with supernatural elements, so it’s fairly light on the political intrigue.
Kim Soo Hyun is absolutely fantastic in this, and everyone else is pretty excellent too, except for Han Ga In, who seems miscast. Kim Soo Hyun more than makes up for it, though.
Cliffhangers are mostly of the romantic kind instead of the political kind, and there’s some pretty strong sexual tension that goes on for a good stretch of the drama.
I lapped up back-to-back episodes of this. Even my mother zoomed her way through the first 8 episodes in just 2 days
The ending could have been handled better, but overall, I really enjoyed this one 🙂
