Though some viewers were not satisfied with how the story of season 1 progressed, audiences are expecting more development in the upcoming season 2. Writers Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon will pen the script while director Kim Won Seok who directed the previous season will pass the throne to Kim Kwang Sik.

In addition, since there are almost ten billion krw allotted for the production in season 1, there is a probability that season 2 may have the same estimated budget.
