Special Affairs Team TEN (Season 2)

특수사건전담반 TEN 2 (Special Affairs Team TEN 2) is the second season of the TEN series that airs on OCN. The second season was aired from April 14th to June 30th 2013.

*Please note that the main cast is exactly the same as in the first season so I might just copy and paste some parts. Just to mention the cast in this entry as well.*

Story: Team TEN is back! Yeo Ji-hoon, the leader of Team Ten suddenly disappeared. Soon the confused team members find a note about his intentions and start working on their own, especially on a serial murder case known as the "F cases". But as they get closer, the team itself is in a dangerous situation and experiences a shock.

Cast: The whole cast is doing an awesome job. At first we have Joo Sang-wook as Yeo Ji-hoon, "the monster who catches monsters". He's a really good cop and team leader with an impressive logical thinking. I think that's exactly what makes the character Yeo Ji-hoon as attractive and impressive as he is. The acting itself definitely is amazing, I sometimes had to remind myself that it is actually a TV series..Jo An excepted the role of Nam Ye-ri. She's pretty but what's more interesting is her skill when it comes to observation and interpretation of contexts. The smart female member of the team, such an awesome combination.
Than there's Kim Sang-ho as Baek Do-shik. You wouldn't expect a veteran cop to be as good as he is, and he's indeed really important for the team with his experience and knowledge of humans. Some people might argue OCN could've found someone to get to the female audience as well but come on, that's superficial. The character as well as the actor have other qualities, it's like impossible to separate the actor and the character, they're the same person.
The last member of the team is Choi Woo-sik as Park Min-ho. In the beginning one might say he's acting too cute and too much like a puppy (which might be partly true) but he's courageous and smart and has a great logical understanding - and well, rookie officers need to learn and someone needs to do the running work. Plus he's developing quite fast and has some other.. 'reasons' why he's even more important for the team itself.

Soundtrack: Once again the soundtrack isn't overdone but I don't remember songs that returned over and over and over again. The main reason could be the different natures of the cases.

This season got a 10/10 rating from me. It's perfect, I was close to a mental breakdown during the last two episodes because those were some of the most exciting events I've ever seen in a TV series. This thin line of excitement and fascination is what actually makes a drama really good, especially if one can connect with the characters. Plus, since this crime topic is kind of new in Korea, especially without any love story included (though I ship Ye-ri and Min-ho a tiny little bit), it's even better HOW good this is.

There's only one frustrating point left. OCN confirmed a third season. Actually planned for late 2014. Then it was postponed to early 2015. And since they now need to film two completely new drama series (which I am going to watch anyways because OCN is awesome) it is said the third season might start airing in January 2016. Thank you, OCN? *Sarcasm*
