The original Netflix series 'Hyeongseong Kritzer' is back for season 2. Leaving behind the harsh criticisms received in season 1, the new season 2 drew attention. Kyungsung Kritzer 2 is a story about the relationship, fate, and bad relationship of Gyeongseong where everything looks similar to Seoul in 2024, 'Hojae' (Park Seo-joon) and Chae-ok' (Han So-hee), who survived the spring of Gyeongseong, meet. Season 2 has a total of seven episodes, and the third episode was pre-released to reporters on the 23rd.
Forgetting Season 1, which was tired from slow development, Season 2 added a lot of speed. It was known that a total of 70 billion won was spent on production throughout season 1 and season 2, but 'Critzer', which appeared in the title, did not appear much in the actual work, causing viewers to criticize it. The grades were also below expectations and the development was slow, which was evaluated as disappointing at home and abroad. However, it gained unexpected popularity in Japan and reflected on its meaning. Attention was also focused on whether Season 2 could make up for it.
Kyungsung Kritzer is a unique work that planned season 1 and season 2 together, and filming continued one after another. At the time of the release of season 1, the editing of season 2 was also being completed, but it was overturned after the harsh criticism of season 1. As if forgetting the crushing defeat of season 1, which continued to be evaluated as "long", season 2 was edited with no more than 50 minutes per episode. Coach Chung Dong-yoon, who met with a reporter after the season 2 premiere, said, `We made sure not to exceed 50 minutes per episode for speed-boosting development.' It feels like it's actually being taken out. As the speed increased, season 2 added to the fun as the rapid development continued without boredom.
There was also action behind the creation of this sense of speed. The biggest advantage of season 2 is that various actions appear non-stop. In addition to Chae-ok and Ho-ho's large-scale battle scenes with the Kurokos, Seung-jo (Bae Hyun-sung)'s tentacle action matched the identity of 'Gyeongseong Kritzer'. Even in the third episode, their large-scale action scenes unfold without time passing. Numerous kurokos add tension with movements reminiscent of rats and insects. Bae Jong-byung, director of Netflix's Seoul Office series division, explained that the director even borrowed animal movements while agonizing a lot about the action.
Taesang and Chae-ok's narratives are absorbed by themselves as they fall into action like this. The desperate narratives of those who came from 1945 to 2024 beyond 79 years move the hearts of viewers. Of course, the one-dimensional focus on the value of love inspires the idea of being somewhat old-fashioned, but the desperate performances of the two seem to complete the narrative. In addition to this, it is oblivion and forgiveness that penetrate the entire meaning of 'Hardness Creature'. Following Season 1, which captured the spirit of anti-Japanese in the background of Japanese colonial era, Season 2 is expected to make viewers understand by subtly capturing the stories of those who still do not apologize.
