Characters had their brain removed

They added some characters to those of season 1. All of them are servile, easily swayed, stupid, morally repulsive or boring, often all of these. There is not a single sympathetic new character. Even ancient characters have badly evolved.
At the moment I am still hoping to see Pang and Wave form a couple. But I know I am lying to myself : I feel there will be only straight couples. Still, I will continue watching hoping that I am wrong at least about this.

They added many advertisements too, for noodles or whatever.

And the plot… Is there even one ? The writers are unable to follow a subplot for more than a few minutes. There is no development, reason is out of the picture, remains only a sequence of pseudo-ideas stopped before yielding anything, ie a sequence of frustrations…

It's a shame to do so little with the actors from season 1 who are very decent despite their young age…

PS. I continued up until the end of episode 6, when the series get rid of Korn and Time. A shame, because Fiat played Korn very well. But it's hard to be sad for a character when this character has only been a traitor.
I can't bear the stupidity of the characters anymore. In season 1 they were not that stupid, except for the last episodes, but in the second season there isn't a single subplot when the characters take the right decisions up to the end.
It's so frustrating! And it was not meant to be funny ; by the way the characters are way too serious…
So I have decided to give up on my hope of seeing Pang and Wave together (anyway the series is so stupid, this couple will never exist but in my imagination).

Again, what a waste of good actors! The actors from season 1 did an excellent job (I would have liked to see more of the twins, whose characters are almost absent). I particularly enjoyed Gun and Fiat, also Nanon ; the others' characters were too monolithic to be completely interesting to play, but they were played as well as it was possible. I hope they will get interesting characters to play soon.
In fact, the actors are the only reason why I could go this far (plus my dreamed couple).
