Thoroughly enjoyable!
I wasn’t sure about watching this due to the top reviews being low, but I loved season one and had withdrawals after I finished so I decided to give this a go. I’m so happy I did! I think season one was so good that it’s hard to live up to, but season two is great and I fully enjoyed it. I even got a little teary at the end, realizing there was no more for me to watch! Consider this its own story rather than a “sequel,” since the events and characters of season one aren’t addressed aside from some repeated plot points/jokes. Joon-ki is as charming and spirited as ever and though I missed the old gang at first, the new cast quickly grew on me, Woo-sik in particular. His reactions and expressions are so funny that sometimes I’d rewind just to watch the subtle changes of his face. There are a number of scenarios so hilarious I want to shake the hand of whichever clever writer came up with them, and I say that as someone who's picky about comedy! I will say there's more toilet humor than necessary - strange they kept falling back on that, since many of the other set-ups were so creative - but hey, you win some you lose some. All in all, while this season wasn’t quite as stellar as the first, it still gave me almost everything I’d missed: the humor, the warmth, that cozy comfortable feeling of the guesthouse and the found family there. I'll be rewatching both seasons!
