Season 2 is not a continuation of season 1 so you don’t have to watch the first one to see this one. But they do make lots of cute references to the first one which enhances your appreciation of it. When the male lead mentioned putting away the female leads medical report because they wouldn’t need it after all, I loved it! In season 2 it’s the same cast but they're in a different world. It’s like seeing what would have happened had they lived in another world and had made different choices. I like that they bring back the male leads sweet grandma and the cute little white dog.
In season 2 the antagonists are different and honestly speaking they aren’t very bad or scary. I like that there’s no evil crazy girl that’s obsessed with the male lead. I honestly hated that in season 1. But with that being said, with no really overly evil person and no other underlying issues to deal with, the story seemed to lack depth.
The acting was top notch. And the two side couples get a lot more screen time than they did in the first season. All of the skinship, real kisses, chemistry, and romance more than made up for the negatives in this drama. It’s a light, fluffy, sweet romance drama that’s very easy to watch. I would definitely recommend it.
