News:
According to a report in Soompi, speaking about the possibility of a season 2, Seung-gi said, "I think people who have seen the ending would have been frustrated. Because there’s more that needs to be told, but it ends right when you’re on the edge of your seat. It makes you want a second season. It’s the type of ending you see a lot in American shows, the type that makes you wait for the next season no matter what."
About returning to play Dal-geon, he added, "If it happens, I think it would be fun. As an actor, I’m all for this type of drama having a second season. However, what I think doesn’t matter, because there is a lot that needs to be taken into consideration, like the production environment and demand from fans, so we’ll have to wait and see."
Another report by Soompi, which quoted a source close to the production said, "The production period was very long, so everyone’s feeling both relieved and sad. The production process took 11 months, and if you count the planning period, it’s a lot longer than that. It was planned and produced with a second season in mind. However, season 2 has not been confirmed, and it’s currently being reviewed. We are reviewing the schedules of the actors, writers, and directors."
