-If it's a spin-off, it means that they're going to change the main character. Will it still be the same Stranger that we know? Hwang Si-mok is literally the face of this drama.
-F*ck yeah!!!! I love this news. I'll hold my breath until they air Season 3.
-Not expecting much since Season 2 wasn't that good...
-I was really disappointed with Season 2
-Hul... Are they changing the main characters?ㅠㅠㅠ
-Season 2 was not even that amazing. Do they really have to come up with a spin off?
-Frankly, Season 1 was the good one. I only watched Season 2 out of loyalty.
-I'm looking forward to it, especially since it's going to be a spin-offㅋㅋㅋ I really liked Season 2ㅋㅋ
-I was deeply disappointed with Season 2, but I'm really looking forward to this oneㅠㅠ Don't disappoint me againㅠㅠ
-It's not Stranger if there's no Hwang Si-mok
-To be honest, Season 2 wasn't even that bad, but Season 1 was just way too perfect... I wonder how Season 3 is going to be.
-Please bring back the director from Season 1...
