Manyeo: Part 2. The Other One

There were so many unnecessary characters, every girl looked the same to me, no one was properly introduced, there was no explanation as to why they were in the movie. The first movie had a reason and a story behind it. This? I don't even know what I have just watched for almost 2 and a half hours? I think if you haven't watched part 1, you will probably enjoy this one.

The only thing enjoyable for me was the blood, gore and killings.

I wasn't quite engaged through its convoluted new characters' stories but Park Hoon-jung didn't let us down with some cute/cringey moments and gruesome kills. At least superhuman concepts in convincing world building will live to see another day in Part 3.

Part 1 was awesome and caught everyone off-guard but Part 2 took like 4 years to come but was as same as part 1 but told differently, as we see few new characters and another girl with almost similar abilities and in same environment, so I get why people are disappointed in this as there is nothing new and seeing it took 4 years to come is like putting salt on wound but nonetheless movie was enjoyable and had some good action scenes, we also get to know about what's gonna be at stake in 3rd part, hopefully it doesn't repeat the cons of this movie.

+Side Characters (especially that chief and her sidekick) +actions scenes -story -similar plot as 1st one

Overall movie felt like an expansion to 1st part but not as a new movie all together. Like if they introduced this girl in the 1st movie and created a parallel plot with the main plot even then they would have actually made the same movie.

I saw this movie because of its prequel but this Part 2 is below the Part 1 in almost everything: the script, character building, pacing, acting and even fighting scenes. Somes may praise its visual but to me it's just another case of technique abuse. The only consolation is Ja Yoon's appearance and a few minutes with Kim Da Mi are worth more than the whole hour of the female character's dead blank face. So no Part 3 for me.

If only a bloody psycho serial killer movie is coming in Korea, a horror and action movie full of mystery and especially sci-fi is coming nowadays, isn't it worth paying attention to it? That is the attraction that the first part gave, waiting for the second part. This second part is not that much great but a good one watchable one time, which came in a gap of four years, somewhere related to the first film. Suppose there is a secret magical witchcraft scheme. Their job is to genetically inject something to children and boys and girls and make them look like powerful monsters with super-powered,, so same as the old concept with some actions ..
