Alternate title: Lady Maeda's obsession.

Before I watched Gyeongseong Creature Season 2, my expectations was at its peak. Also, it's my most anticipated drama. As for Season 1, I didn't have high expectations for it, I only tuned in for Park Seo Jun and Han So Hee, but I was impressed with the first Season. As for this this one, which is also the Second Season of Gyeongseong Creature, I also loved it. If I were to compare it with Gyeongseong Creature Season 1 in terms of action, then I'd pick this one, it had more action scenes than the first season ever had.

Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 continues the story of Jang Tae San and Yoon Chae Ok as they give it their all to survive in a world that's has been polluted by Creatures created by humans because of their greed to rule it all, become invisible, unrivaled, and if possible, they want to gain Immorality. It's a bit different from Season 1. Why? Here's why; Gyeongseong Creature Season 1 was set in Gyeongseong, which used to be the capital of Joseon during the 1945s. However, Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 is set during the Present day Seoul (the new name of Gyeongseong).
The first episode of Season 2 showed Yun Chae Ok, who now possess the Najin that's passed on to her by her mother. Thus making her much more powerful than she ever was, she's basically no less than an immortal having lived for a century already without aging. Then we see Jang Tae San, who now goes by a different name, Jang Oh Jae. Jang Tae San/Jang Oh Jae has lost his memories of the past. In other words, he doesn't remember who he used to be, all he knows is that, he's the President of a Detective Agency. This two have been separated for decades.

This time, all their miseries and nightmares are all because of a woman's jealousy and obsession, "Lady Maeda." I've come to realize that a woman's jealousy and revenge can be horrifying. A man is ruthless, but I think a woman is much more ruthless. They say an obsessed and jealous woman can be worse than a beast, I agree with that. That's exactly what's showcased in this one. Because of Lady Maeda's obsession, she
begins a killing spree. I didn't know a woman could be this ruthless, cruel, and inhumane. That's why a woman mustn't be underestimated. A man is fierce, but a woman can be fiercer. Lady Maeda's love for Jang Tae San turned into obsession, that obsession turned into hate, and that hate eventually gave birth to revenge, and that unjustifiable revenge made Jang Tae San and everyone around him suffer. She wants him to be lonely with no one to turn to. She wants him to experience sadness all his life. She wants him to crawl back to him, begging for forgiveness. That's what she deemed as her way of getting back at him for betraying her. That said, Although Lady Maeda's role played by Claudia Kim was short, it's memorable. I've got to admit, she made the drama much more engaging than it ever was before her appearance. She almost stealed the show with her acting. I love her acting. "She's beauty and talent."

I've got to say I loved their reunion. Just like the first Season, or should I say it's a bit different? Anyway, just like the first Season, these two reunion came abound with a fist fight. I loved their reunion. When Yoon Chae Ok called his name, Jang Tae San, the way it echoed into his ears. The familiarity. And when She embraced him, and he just stood there like a frozen ice. I loved that scene. That reunion was epic.
I loved so many scenes in this drama that I can't mention them all, but I've got to say this one. That battle scene in EP 5, I loved it so, so much. The soundtrack, the OST, everything were excellent. My favourite OST is "Time by Baek A." What I loved most were Jang Tae San's words. Here's how it goes; "I was existing, but I wasn't living. I just wanted to see her again. I wanted to embrace her. I wanted to hold her in my arms. Even if it was just one more time. If it meant I could see you. If it meant I could touch you again." I loved those words. I almost cried while watching that scene.

Oh, the chemistry of Park Seo Jun and Han So Hee is overflowing in this one. Their gazes, their interaction, all of these were excellent. Park Seo Jun and Han So Hee performed exceptionally well in their respective roles as Jang Tae San and Yoon Chae Ok. Plus, their action scenes were exceptional and engaging, I couldn't stop watching. When I said "Season 2 outweigh Season 1 in terms of action, I wasn't lying, neither was that an exaggeration, it's the plain truth. All the casts performed exceptionally well in their respective roles.

Although Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 had almost everything. It's still lacking in some aspects. The flashbacks were there, but they weren't explored enough. For one, how Jang Tae San's Najin was removed from his body. How he was able to harness his power to such an extent where he could control it. Also, how he lived his life all these years. There are many more, that's just to mention a few of them. I'd have love to give this a full 10, or even a 9.5, but with all the backstory on the leads character development that were not explored well enough. Also, the ending was not detailed. After a long and hard battle for survival, we see Yoon Chae Ok who doesn't remember who she used to be, now a college student, and as she was on her way, she saw Jang Tae San a few meters away. The two saw each other a few meters away. There's no explanation on how Yoon Chae Ok survived, how she became a college student. Whether Jang Tae San still remembers or not. Nothing. The romance is 10/10, action scenes also 10/10, but I just can't give it more than a 9. Will I recommend this? Most definitely. It's a drama that's worth every hour, minute, and seconds of anyone's time. If you're an empathetic person, get your tissues ready, this one is a bit emotional.
