I understand (and greatly appreciate) that ShinLee took a huge risk and investment on HP.

I understand (and greatly appreciate) that ShinLee took a huge risk and investment on HP. From the once-a-week / seasonal concept, the high number and depths of main / recurring characters, to the story-telling methods, etc., all of them pushed the envelops of current norms and what are usually expected in the Kdrama industry. For me, all have paid off as I am very engaged (using your word) with the drama, more than I have ever been before; and I am even more engaged in S2 than in S1. Like what you said, I am on the ShinLee bus for the ride. I trust that the driver / pilot’s ability to bring us to the destination that has been mapped out in their minds long ago; and while there might be some unexpected detours or extra bumps, so far I am enjoying the journey, esp with all the fellow passengers like you all 😘.
With the above said, I totally understand that expect that some people might be unhappy about S2 because of unmet expectations. There are extreme opinions on the same plot / character that I even started to wonder if TvN broadcast has been broadcasting different versions to different people. And some of those, sadly, are done with very little taste or respect. As much as it shows how “engaged” the overall audience are, it is just unfortunate to see – but it also makes me appreciate your space here even more. Thank you for being a great “guide” and allow us passengers to safely reflect on how we feel about the journey and unexpected detours (sorry if I am being cheesy😁).
The wheels have been set in motion for many things and we only have 5 episodes left. I am waiting for ep8 anxiously while trying not to assume anything. As heavy as the last Ep7 scenes were, ShinLee also have a way of presenting very simple (sometimes, so simple that is almost surprising) outcome for some seemingly dramatic / insurmountable problems, and I can’t wait to see how they will address all the developments in the upcoming episodes!
