I miss when kdramas had a beginning and an end, all within 8 weeks.

    Huh. Can’t read it but I guess all we need to figure out is the “2” and the “2024”. I agree with you.

    I was pretty certain, it was going this route considering how the pd and writer hinted at it in an interview. But I may not tune in for that. The episodic format is a bigger hurdle for me in addition to how I want dramas to end by 8 weeks.

    When the ratings took off, it was pretty obvious that the production company would do this. With the episodic nature, I do think they can make it work, but the charm’s been wearing off. At least they aren’t rushing it and can probably keep the cast if they wait til 2024.

    I agree. But this kind of drama can make it work. It’s about Young-Woo’s growth as a character. It doesn’t depend on a big bad guy to catch for example. They want the original casting, they will have to wait for Kang Tae-Oh’s comeback from the army, they will have the time to work on it too like they had for this season waiting for Park Eun-Bin.

    Ooo! Now this explains the inconsistency. I don’t mind a S2 and would love to see the same cast because the cases and the protagonist’s growth were refreshing to watch. I only hope if they are further going to expand the story based on ratings in S2, I want them to be prepared with proper character arcs.
