Is it really a second season?

I loved watching Ie Uru Onna (first season), everything was interesting; the characters, the clients and their stories, and everything else. There should have been a 3 year difference in production between the two seasons, but it really seems like a continuation.
What is saddest about the second season, is that there is almost no character development, they are the exact same even after so much time has passed for the role and actual actors/actresses.
The new antagonist that they introduced does thankfully change the dynamic, and he was a very good choice, but unfortunately, he does not do much until the very end, and it was all too rushed.
Another point to mention is that the moral values, ideas, beliefs, trends and everything of that sort seemed a little too pushed. Each episode had it's theme, and all the clients were revolving around that. It is certainly good to have some order, and not throw around random ideas, but this is too thoughtful that it loses its flow and becomes robotic.
Speaking about robotic, it would have been really nice for the viewers to see at least one different expression from Sangenya Machi. I am sure they valued consistency above all, but it cannot always be the same case in every situation. It loses it authenticity and becomes boring.
With all that said, I really enjoyed watching the drama because all the characters were very adorable and entertaining. Kachou and Niwano were a real bliss.

" Ie Uru Onna no Gyakushu " was a nice continuation of the 2016 drama. The well known strong, but odd, leading lady, who not only sales houses but solves life problems. In this one, there was more screen time for the side characters and their stories. Also, there was her love story with her husband and their married life.

The acting and overall all of the performances were pretty good, and there were some funny moments to top that. Though, the "bad guy" was easy to pin point. The drama was pretty good too.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
