What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 brought back Son Hyun-joo and Jang Seung-jo with new colleagues and a fresh corruption case set against Incheon's power structures. The JTBC return aired from July to September 2022 across 16 episodes. Audience reception was broadly positive - the pairing that made Season 1 work still functions, and the procedural-plus-conspiracy structure that distinguishes the show from standard K-crime formats carries over intact. The second season lacks the revelatory freshness of the debut but delivers reliable, well-crafted crime drama for viewers already invested in the characters.

Season Over Season

The core buddy dynamic carries over intact, but Season 2 lacks the first season's element of surprise - the corruption formula is now expected rather than revelatory.
