Do Over of Season 1, Just Weirder
First off, Season 2 of Royal Upstart was not as good as Season 1. The male lead was disrespected so much more in this season. He was referred to as Wei the Fool by so many other characters. That got on my nerves, because even though he acted foolishly and brash, he was was brilliant in knowledge. His non-related aunt got on my nerves (and her maid servant), because she seemed to always get in the way and go against him. The aunt physically hit him and hurt him. In Season 1, this same female character was the Prime Minister's wife and she was a stark ally to the male lead. They royal princess softened and more hands on when dealing with the business in Season 2; in Season 1, she had a bad temper and was pretty much hands off when it came to the business affairs. The emperor from Season 1 was more likeable than the one in Season 2. The Empress was cool, whether the one from Season 1 or the one from Season 2.
Instead of Season 2 being a continuation of Season 1, it was another version of Season 1. It was weirder. I am happy that I made it through Season 2. It was as if the two seasons were from different realities or parallel worlds.
