Upped the action, crazyness & violence, kept the tension & twists. 7,5/10
But you should really watch Believer shortly before, otherwise it might just feel too convoluted or flat out confusing. (especially as 1 lead got recast) pic.twitter.com/r1pHEb8Cyv
“Believer 2” was a good movie but, felt useless to be made by the end of it. Genuinely would’ve preferred the movie to not exist. (Especially based on the ending.) #kdramas #netflix #Believer #Believer2 @NetflixKo
