In contrast to its first half, "Alienoid 2" offered a lot of eye-catching CGI (computer-generated imagery) which left even the cast and crew speechless.
In addition to that, the fusion of the historical narrative and modern-day scenarios also appealed to the viewers, all thanks to its seamless transition that was easy on the eyes.
As for Kim Woo Bin, his chemistry with Lee Honey, who joined the film following her return to the acting scene, is among the best factors to check out in the project.
"It's a work that you shouldn't miss," Kim Woo Bin said. "If I can film it again, I'd participate in a heartbeat. I can even film tomorrow."
