Alice in Borderland season 2 is a continuation of season 1. We’re given different flashbacks and scenes from season 1, which is pretty refreshing to say the least. I think it really blends in well with this new season. However there are many more things we see in this season. New characters that we may have grew attached to, new games with interesting rules, it’s a literal *chef’s kiss*

Since I never read the manga, I was in for a pretty big ride. I’m not sure how accurate this season follows the manga, but the producer of this j-drama really nailed it, it makes really excited to see how Netflix will tackle more Japanese dramas in the future!

Although this season was really good and I would honestly watch it again, I had some problems watching this. Like, in every episode I’ve seen, almost every character is h0rny af. What’s up with that? It was honestly weird lol. I also didn’t really *like* that there was romance in this. I mean, I understand the manga pairs Arisu and Usagi as well, but I felt like this series alone should have stayed as an action type of drama. I don’t know… since there’s no romance between the characters in season 1, they all of a sudden have one flustered moment in the first episode of season 2 and like it just escalates so fast lmao. I feel like I would be more supportive of this ship if there were some hints of romance in season 1, but there wasn’t any, or at least it’s just me who didn’t get a vibe romance between them?

Overall, a watchable J-drama. Might beat Japan’s live action of Death Note (2015) where Arisu’s actor (Kento Yamazaki, a total hottie of Japan) plays L. But I still love both :)
