July 16th, 2020 at 10:56 pm
Hopefully it’s better than season 1.
July 18th, 2020 at 4:23 am
The first one was on NetFlix, not sure if this one will be or not. Listed on a non-official NetFlix site as yes, but that has not been reliable in the past. Anything with Bae Doona is a must watch.
July 18th, 2020 at 11:08 am
FINALLY FINALLY ITS HEREEEE…..GOD KNOWS HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS DRAMA. 1ST SEASON IS A MASTERPIECE. LOOKING FORWARD FOR THIS. OMONA OMANA I CANT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT
July 19th, 2020 at 12:01 pm
So excited for this drama. Glad Bae Doona and Cho Seung Woo are back. Hope it is as good as the first one. Hopefully Netflix picks it up again. Now waiting for Signal to have a second season too.
July 19th, 2020 at 4:55 pm

July 21st, 2020 at 7:36 pm
waaaaaaaaaa!!!!! my reaction when i found out. so excited
July 22nd, 2020 at 3:55 pm
Huhuhummm …. for a minute was feeling happy thinking only about a week more to wait. Gosh…. how wrong was I. The drama wont start until mid-August…. oh no oh no !!! 😩🙀 Getting impatient….
August 2nd, 2020 at 10:28 am
Counting the days….. !! Its the month of August now…
August 5th, 2020 at 2:31 pm
i’ve been waiting for season 2. Cho Seung Woo and Bae Doo Na is the reason why I love this series so much..besides the story line. Finally they made season 2 for real and I hope it worth waited just like season 1.,,or better…
August 10th, 2020 at 9:37 pm
yesss im so stoked! season 1 was sooo good, hopefully season 2 can live up to, if not surpass it!
August 10th, 2020 at 10:14 pm
Five more days….. !!
August 14th, 2020 at 2:47 pm
Am I dreaming ? Almost there …. ??
Cant wait to meet the incredible pair of Hwang ShiMok and HanYJ again !! Missed them much.
August 15th, 2020 at 11:47 pm
Awesome! Can’t wait to watch it on Netflix – Oct 11 (at least here, in Poland). Loved season 1.
August 17th, 2020 at 1:03 pm
Had my heart set to watch this drama so bad. Counted the days… a day at a time. Looking sooo forward to it. Parked myself in front of tv, and waited on screening day and the whole of next day. It was in vain !!
Dang it !! Looks like it will not be shown yet at where I live. Muah hahah !! I wanna cry !! How disappointing. 😡
There was no news or announcement to this effect. No wonder, what we suddenly have on tv, was a repeat of Season 1 again, which I’ve already watched a few times !!
Ok… will take it easy this time. If Season 2 comes, it comes. If not? I wont fret. I’ll let it go…. hehe… maybe I will still get to watch it in a few months time?? Hopefully …
August 17th, 2020 at 10:55 pm
I just watched Ep 1 of Season 2. I loved it!
August 24th, 2020 at 11:41 am
Watched on Netflix in the US this past weekend. Loved it. However, it is a little more serious than season 1 because it discusses the conflicts between the police and prosecution. It talks about the Korean constitution and Korean political history. I still found it very interesting but it may not have the broad appeal of the murder case from the prior season. Good to see Cho Seung Wo and Bae Doo Na again. Also the young police lieutenant is back. Hope the series does well so we have a Season 3.
August 25th, 2020 at 12:41 am
I wonder when will the drama be shown where I live. I tried to be stoic about having to wait for it to come, but I still cant resist creeping in here to peek at the comments viewers leave behind. Hehe !! Thanks guys !! At least from the comments, I have a rough picture of the story.
I am basically curious about how the dynamics between three powerful government law enforcement agencies are going to play out. Choi Bit the female head of the intel agency in particular interests me. There must be a good reason why this character is featured in the drama. Jun Hye Jin who plays Choi Bit here was a successful hardhitting CEO of an IT organisation in another drama Search:WWW. Will she be the same here? I am curious to know. Possibly yes.
As for the matters that bring these three powerful agencies to a “showdown” , I am curious about it too, and also about how these powerful people tick. Will they “burn the house down”? Or will they amicably reach a compromise or solution?
Lets wait and see….

My favorite ever!!
My Duo best favorite couple on the screen.
And never dissapoint me about the plot and conspiration.
Who doesnt know? Who doesnt agree?
Fiction of Fact probably same with our reality life we face.
Corruption and use their each connection and relation in every department of goverment.
Fight each others.

Nice – waiting for last episode tonight 🙂
October 5th, 2020 at 3:03 am
Wonderful conclusion to Season 2. This screenwriter does a great job and doesn’t leave you hanging like so many other dramas. Looks like there will be a Season 3 because of some unfinished story lines. Shi Mok and Yeo Jin work are a great team. Please…. Please another season.
October 5th, 2020 at 5:48 am
Episode 16 is a huge letdown! How did Donjae recover so quickly with no scars from his weeks of torture.
October 5th, 2020 at 4:53 pm
a good series to watch. a lesson to learn if one is in the justice department: don’t be used! wonder how the first series went. should i watch it?
October 6th, 2020 at 9:06 pm
Season 3 please..already miss si-mok and yeo-jin..the best duo and korean series this year…Weekend without stranger will be like😭😭😭 pls do not make us wait too long for season 3🙏🙏
October 12th, 2020 at 1:57 am
Preferred season 1 over 2 too much taking in season 2 got bored in middle of it, and too many names and cases to remember
October 27th, 2020 at 2:49 am

November 2nd, 2020 at 7:18 pm
