Different cast, with same awful story. Overrated.
This one is slightly better than Season 1, mostly because of the cast change. The new FL feels younger, brighter, and more cheerful, which makes the overall drama a little easier to watch. The chemistry between the leads also feels more natural at times, and the younger energy of the cast gives the drama a fresher feeling.
But unfortunately, changing the cast doesn't fix the biggest problem.
Her personality is still basically the same. She claims to love ML deeply, but somehow it is always ridiculously easy for her to get close to another man and end up in his arms whenever there is a misunderstanding or conflict. At this point, I don't even know whether to call her innocent or just unbelievably naive. After everything that happened before, you'd think she would have learned something, but apparently not.
The funny thing is that the drama keeps telling us how deeply she loves ML, while her actions sometimes say the complete opposite. If you supposedly love someone that much, why is it so easy for you to seek comfort from another man whenever things go wrong? It makes the romance much less convincing because FL's behavior constantly undermines the feelings the script keeps telling us she has.
The plot itself is also basically the same kind of mainstream romance story we've seen countless times: misunderstandings, jealousy, love rivals, people manipulating the leads, separation, reconciliation, and then more misunderstandings. There isn't really anything new or particularly memorable here. It's watchable, but don't expect an original storyline.
Another thing that stood out to me is how many kissing scenes there are. There are so many that after a while they stop feeling romantic and start feeling like the drama is using them to fill screen time and fan services. A few well-placed intimate scenes would have been enough, but the sheer amount makes some of them feel unnecessary rather than meaningful (just like a short drama).
The drama also has quite a few scenes that seem to exist mainly for humor. Some of them are cute and can be entertaining, but others feel completely unnecessary and don't really contribute anything to the plot or character development. They make the drama feel longer than it needs to be, especially when the main storyline is already relying on repetitive conflicts.
I did appreciate that this season feels a little more entertaining overall. The new FL brings more energy to the scenes, and there are more moments where the leads actually feel like a couple instead of constantly being separated by unnecessary drama. Some of their romantic interactions are genuinely sweet, and the lighter tone makes it easier to get through.
The side characters aren't particularly impressive either. Most of them are clearly written as obstacles for the main couple, so instead of becoming interesting characters in their own right, they mostly exist to create another misunderstanding or jealousy plot.
OVERRATED !!! If you enjoyed the first season, you'll probably find this one slightly more entertaining. But if FL's behavior already drove you crazy in Season 1, don't expect a miracle here. The face may have changed, the energy may be brighter, but apparently the questionable decision-making skills are still exactly the same. So honestly, I wouldn’t recommend either this one or Season 1, and I definitely wouldn’t rewatch them.
