I was a bit worried going into the second season because of all the mixed reviews I was seeing. I loved the first season, and it's one of my favorite Korean bl's, so I was still excited about seeing these characters again. There was definitely a lot of angst and sadness this season, but it made sense and drove the story. Ji Woo pushed Seo Joon away for many reasons. Loneliness, sadness, guilt, and confusion. Yes, Ji Woo was harsh, but I also kind of saw his perspective. He has trouble navigating his emotions and actions. He was suffering in silence. He should have talked to Seo Joon, and none of what happened to them would have happened. Then, again, if they did, we wouldn't have a story. I liked how the episodes were longer, and we saw flashbacks in nearly every episode. This season felt more like a full-length, well-navigated drama. We are also introduced to a handful of new characters, and they really add a lighthearted and happy element to the story. I also feel like the actors have grown a lot from the previous season. They looked comfortable and did excellent, bringing to life all the kissing and emotional scenes. Overall, I really enjoyed this season even more than the first one and recommend watching it, it's worth it!
