IN-SEOUL Season 2 (2020)

Following from the first installment, In Seoul Season 2 is about Kang Dami and Lee Harim's friendship as they decide to cohabitate whilst studying at a University in Seoul. Along the way, they experience hardships that can take a massive toll on their friendship. Season 2 focuses on the friendship between two best friends and how one mistake can have a serious impact on their lives.
This drama touches on honesty and the importance of communication with one another in friendships, as well as fake friends and relationships. For the first season, we got to see the struggles of Dami as a student and a BTS superfan who has an uptight relationship with her Mother so in this season, we see the struggles of Dami as a student representative at University and living together with her best friend, Harim

We get introduced to a new main character in this season, which is Cheoltto. He is my favourite character out of them all. He perfectly portrays a tsundere - who's cold at first, but eventually starts to show his friendlier and warmer side. I love the way he gets introduced into this drama and I love the development between him and Harim.
As for Harim, she is also my favourite. For someone who was adamant on not committing herself into a relationship again (which is evident in 4 Reasons Why I Hate Christmas and in her previous relationship), I'm glad to see her open herself up again to seeing someone.

Overall, if you're interested in the journey of Dami and Harim throughout Uni life, heart fluttering crushes, toxic ex's, fake friends, and the struggles of cohabitation, I would highly recommend watching this. But I would also recommend you watch season 1 first.

Good Enough

" IN SEOUL season two " follows the main character from the first season as she handles friendships and her college life. So, the focus this time swifts from the mother-daughter relationship to the young adult problems, with the girl, our main lead, trying to be a match maker and bring together her best friend with a guy from her faculty. That is blended nicely with some background information about the best friend's dating life, some drama when it comes to uni classes and fellow students, and, of course, the clouds that appear for the girls' relationship.

The start of the drama was strong, with a small introduction to the characters and a few info on what has happened in the first season, as we jumb right into action. The pace was nicely kept throughout the drama, fast and just right for the story. However, the ending was way too quick to resolve everything and didn't give the satisfaction that it could have. That fact was a let down, as the drama, overall, was a nice surprise and probably kind of better than the first season. The main character's romantic relationshup was not well explored as well, as there were only hints here and there that things didn't go as smooth as they seemed.

Still, the performances were decent from everyone in the cast and the new characters were entertaining and interesting.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
