FL is unbearable

FL is 'honest and kind' in the most unbearable and infuriating way. I understand the overall message that the series is trying to convey, but it really does not come through. The FL always gets herself or others around her into terrible situations, and then the ML has to step in to concoct a plan to save the FL. FL would be broke and in millions of debt if not for the ML's ability to manipulate people. And yet, the FL keeps wanting to 'save' others when she couldn't even managing saving herself.

The series was projected to be something like this: terrible liar game forces people into bad situations. unfavorable things happen, but honest humble heroin ultimately saves everyone by being super honest. heroine inspires others around her to be honest or believe in honesty! honesty wins, yay!

In reality, the series is better described: stupid girl gets into terrible situation. guy lies and manipulates people to save stupid girl. (exactly the same as Pt 2, but somehow this sequel is worse). In the end, if you look at the events of the series critically, it actually sends a message opposite of what the writers wanted (I opine, or maybe this was their intension).

Also, the frequent closes ups of crazed burst of laughter from different players made this sequel really difficult to watch.

Do not recommend.
