The wait was finally over when tvN announced the second season in February 2020.

Kim Ok-vin, who plays Tae Al-ha, Ta-gon's political advisor and lover, also congratulated Shin Se-kyung, saying, "You worked hard".

Moreover, the show promises a special appearance by EXO's leader, Suho, adding to the excitement of fans.
