I skipped to the end of Stay With Me and yeaah, I'm not watching a show that hasn't finished it's plot. I can deal with an open ending, in fact, done well, I don't mind, but when it's like The On1y One.. No. That's sure fire way for me to get my nerd rage glasses on.
As a wannabe writer, you never end a story just mid scene, unless you know there is another season secured. That really pisses me off. I'm not sitting through 24 episodes just to for the road to stop.
The author, Chai Ji Dan, was the screenwriter for Stay with Me and the production team announced Season 2 while Season 1 was still airing. Something must have happened, like pressure from their government and losing sponsors - something major, that made Chai Ji Dan change her mind. She ended up selling the rights to Season 2 to voice actors. I'm not sure whether they were related to Season 1. Needless to say, it was a huge disappointment. But SWM still remains in the my top 5 BL, such a great production overall.
