Gyeongseong Creature season 2, a genre-bending K-drama inspired by real-life historical themes, was released on Netflix on September 27, 2024. It mixed mystery, horror, and romance into a thrilling premise starring Park Seo-joon, Han So-hee, Claudia Kim, Bae Hyun-sung, and Lee Moo-saeng.
The first season of Gyeongseong Creature saw star-crossed lovers Yoon Chae-ok (Han So-hee) and Jang Tae-sang (Park Seo-joon). They dug into a sinister conspiracy involving Japanese troops in World War II, horrific human experiments, and otherworldly beings known as the Najin.
The first season concluded on a significant cliffhanger, with Chae-ok getting infected by the Najin, bringing Gyeongseong in 1945 to Seoul in the present. Season 2 picked off 79 years later from where its previous season ended, showing Park Seo-joon as Jang Ho-jae—a lookalike of Jang Tae-sang—while Chae-ok survives as an immortal due to the Najin.

Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 concluded with another cliffhanger with Chae-ok losing her memories after the Najin (a parasite) gets removed from her body. She forgets her past, her memories of Tae-sang, aka Ho-jae, and lives as an ordinary college student. However, she crosses paths with Tae-sang, failing to recognize him. She turns back one more time and smiles at him as Tae-sang.
The end credit shows Seung-jo (the child born of Akiko when she was infected with the Najin in 1945) continuing with his diabolical plan to infect people with the Najin and wreak mass havoc. This promises a season 3 renewal where we can hope to see how Seung-jo plans on infecting the mass public with the Najin parasite and if Chae-ok and Tae-sang will reunite.
Gyeongseong Creature season 2 — Do Tae-sang and Chae-ok end up together?
Gyeongseong Creature season 2 shows Jang Tae-sang, who has lost his memories and goes by the name of Jang Ho-jae. His friend, Yong-gil, is Kwon Jun-taek's (Wi Ha-jun) grandson, who was Tae-sang's best friend from 1945. Seemingly, he feigns ignorance and tries to protect Tae-sang, aka Ho-jae, by hiding his past and keeping him busy with small-time detective work.
We see Chae-ok (Han So-hee) in the flesh as she goes by the codename "Silverbill" and helps find missing people. Due to the Najin, she hasn't aged a bit and still looks like someone in their late 20s. However, a fated encounter brings her and Tae-sang face-to-face in 2024, leaving her stunned to see him alive.
Fast-forward to episode 4 of Gyeongseong Creature season 2, which reveals that Jang Ho-jae is actually Jang Tae-sang from 1945. After he and Chae-ok burned down Onseong Hospital and helped bring freedom to Korea in 1945 from Japan's imperialism, Tae-sang met Lady Maeda (Claudia Kim) again in 1947. She survived the bomb blast in the church and took the Najin to heal and become immortal.
Her goons end up killing Mr. Gu and Beom-o at his house and hanging them from the ceiling while her men attack Tae-sang at Moonlit Bar. Lady Maeda infects a brutally injured Tae-sang with the Najin, and her goons drop his unconscious body back at his house. When he opens his eyes, he is devastated to see Mr. Gu and Beom-o's bodies hanging while a severely injured Mrs. Nawol shows signs of life.
However, Najin takes control of Tae-sang's brain, and he moves to attack Mrs. Nawol. She tells Tae-sang that he has her permission to take her life as Tae-sang tries to fight the Najin and asks Mrs. Nawol to run away. This particular scene from season 2 is important as it establishes the entire foundation of the show.
In 2024, we see Jeonsong Bio, built on the grounds of Onseong Hospital by General Kato (from Gyeongseong Creature season 1) with the help of Lady Maeda. The company secretly continued experimenting with the Najin and successfully built an army of "Kuroko"—humans who were infected by the Najin but kept their human forms and had superpowers, just like Chae-ok.
Chae-ok and Tae-sang come together in Gyeongseong Creature season 2 to fight against Jeonsong Bio and once again bring down Lady Maeda's organization. However, they get captured by the Kuroko army. Tae-sang gets affected by the Najin again to save Chae-ok and uses his renewed power to escape with her.
After several missing-death-by-an-inch moments, we arrive at the last episode of Gyeongseong Creature season 2, where we see Tae-sang fighting Kuroko's head (Lee Moo-saeng). Episode 7 shows Seung-jo (Akiko's son) joining hands with Tae-sang and Chae-ok and deciding to go up against Jeonsong Bio and Lady Maeda.
However, Seung-jo betrays Chae-ok and injects her with a serum, due to which the Najin inside of her loses control for 24 hours and turns Chae-ok into a human. He tries to kill Chae-ok, but she gets saved by a police officer. But the Kuroko army arrives and captures her as she is back in her human form.
Meanwhile, Tae-sang and Kuroko's head fight with each other. As Tae-sang is about to inject the serum into his opponent, the Kuroko's leader tells him to save the serum for Lady Maeda, as she has captured Chae-ok. Tae-sang reaches Jeonsong Bio and meets Lady Maeda once again after 79 years.
She tells him to choose only one between Chae-ok, Yong-gil, the Police Captain, and experiment A-71. Experiment A-71 is Ahn Jong-Hyeok, the grandson of an old lady (unnamed), who happens to be the daughter of Mrs. Nawol (1945). A-71 was one of the human experiments that successfully synced with the Najin in his brain.
Meanwhile, Lady Maeda tells Tae-sang that Chae-ok is unconscious and is about to die after her Najin gets removed, while Yong-gil, the Police Captain, and experiment A-71 will die at the hands of the fully mutated monsters created by the Najin. Tae-sang chooses to save the three by injecting the human serum into Lady Maeda and fighting the monsters himself.
Simultaneously, Chae-ok gets thrown into a cold water tank, where her heart stops and her Najin tries to keep her body alive. After the Najin realizes that Chae-ok can't be saved, the parasite tears through her neck for its own survival. Meanwhile, Tae-sang rushes into the enclosure and sees Chae-ok inside the tank. He uses all his strength to break the glass barricade of the pool and save Chae-ok.
In the last few minutes of Gyeongseong Creature season 2 episode 7, we see Kuroko's head walk into the enclosure where the glass water tank once used to be. He looks carefully at the floor covered by the tank water and sees Chae-ok's Najin lying lifeless. However, we hear a splash, which implies that the Najin survived. Meanwhile, Seung-jo kills Lady Maeda and throws her into the monster's cage.
Gyeongseong Creature season 2 episode 7 ends with Chae-ok alive and living with Ahn Jong-Hyeok's (Experiment A-71) grandmother, who is Mrs. Nawol's daughter. However, Chae-ok has lost all her memories and her powers. She is living as a normal college girl and is seen having breakfast with the old lady, whom she believes is her real grandmother.
Chae-ok walks to her college as her voiceover echoes in the background, where she speaks about a recurring dream of chasing someone and waking up with a yearning to find someone. She crosses paths with a man and turns around to look at him. The man stops and turns around—it's Tae-sang. He smiles faintly at Chae-ok, who smiles back at him, as we hear Tae-sang's voiceover in the background.
"And we will...be together again."
Gyeongseong Creature season 2 shows an end-credit scene where we see Seung-jo taking over the reins of Jeonsong Bio. He is standing in front of a laboratory filled with Najin in glass tubes. The camera pans to reveal thousands of glass tubes filled with the Najin parasite stored inside the laboratory. Seung-jo tells the Jeonsong Bio chairman to continue with the plan.
Meanwhile, several drinking water bottles get packaged with the Najin inside of them. The bottles get shipped across South Korea, and the normal public buys the water for consumption. We see a Najin parasite swimming in one of those packaged water bottles at a convenience store, and Gyeongseong Creature season 2 ends.
Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 is available on Netflix for global streaming.
