Is series being renewed for S02?
Now that MMH has ended, prospects for season two appear dim. In the realm of contemporary K-dramas, the trend leans toward single-season narratives as they tell a complete story. Moreover, this time-traveling revenge drama drew inspiration from a standalone webcomic with no sequel or follow-up. Paving the way for a second season would necessitate the creation of new material, a rarity in K-dramas.
