Let's talk about the advantages and the disadvantages of the movie. The plot was unexpected but wonderful. The director connected the first with this film perfectly. In addition, the ending truly made me teary-eyed. It touched me a lot. Then I have to say some arrangement I don not understand. The first was the character Seongju God. I believed that director wanted to add this character to the second film to enrich the story. But this character was completely a tool man to promote the development of the plot. Moreover, the first half of the movie was full of low-grade jokes. They doesn't make me laugh, okay? ALL IN ALL, Sin-gwa ham-kke: In-gwa yeon was a good film. Its shortcomings could not cover its shining points. It was worth watching.
The plot was strong and connected ,, proceeding with saving the soul of Kim Ja-hong during a long trial of 49 days ... and introducing the side story of the kid and the grandfather and their protector was a bold smart choice ,, and finally we know the truth and connection between the trio "Gang-rim, Hae Won-maeg and I Deog-chun" ... It was literally near perfection, the cinematography and visual effects were spot on ,, and even the script had more action than the first movie it still didn't lose the emotional dramatic part.
The cast was even better than last time ,, they now get along "in away" and you can feel the banter and back and forth comedic lines flying :D .
The final two scenes in the credits were amazing and shocking and a possible open gate for "finger crossed" a third and last movie to see how the story of "Kim Ja-hong" will finally end :)

Do not watch this sequel without first watching the first one.
In terms of cinematics, there seems to be less compared with the first. Yet the drama, wit & humor are truly delightful.

#AlongWithTheGodsTheLast49Days it's much much more than we imagine or predict on this epic sequel, the story developed into something 'bigger' and you'll love the sequel more if you love the first one 9/10 #alongwiththegods2 #alongwiththegods #koreanmovie #movie #Dtkreview #moviereview
The second movie of the Along with the Gods series was entertaining, but not as good as the first one. Whethere the first one was backed with emotions and twists, this one was just a good movie about two things, the trial of the last movie's lead's brother and the past of the three grim reapers massed up in the story of a young boy and his grand father. The story about the boy and the background story on the three main characters were interesting and kind of sad. The trial part, however, failed to impress. And when all the stories came together, it was a quick and awkward mass up, concluding everything so we could move on to the next chapter about the othe soldier, whose story will be presented in the third movie. I just hope that the last one will be the best one.
Other than that, the performances were really well by all the actors in the film and they actually looked natural. The special effects in addition, were decent and enjoyable.
So, 7.5 out of 10, because it was a good movie, but it could have been better.

- TriviaThe film is inspired by the Korean Joseon dynasty Buddhist paintings and early Buddhist scriptures of the "Ten Kings of Hell". In the early Buddhism concepts, the Ten Kings of Hell serve as magistrates of each of the ten courts of the underworld to determine the fate of the deceased including the type and severity of punishment and the course of their cycle of rebirth. On the 49th day after death, the soul of the deceased comes before the seventh king and may be reborn, depending on his or her actions in this world.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: In the second credits scene, 1,000 years ago, Gang-lim's father is seen dying, and is approached by Yeomra about taking over his position. He does so, taking on the appearance of the former Yeomra. This means, all along, over 1,000 years as a Reaper in the afterlife, the Yeomra Gang-lim has been serving all along has been his own father he was desperately seeking the forgiveness of.
