Well...

I get now why some shows don’t get a season two. I was so excited like, “OMG, season two!! I love them!” but why did we spend 75% of the 10 episodes on their work and acting dilemmas? I get that it’s part of life, but come on… you’re partners, you’re both actors, you’re in the same industry. Of course you’re going to compete for roles. Sometimes a part you want is going to go to your partner or vice versa — that’s normal. So why were we stressing this hard?

Episodes 4 and 5 had me genuinely confused. Yuki made no sense in those episodes. None. At all.

The one thing I did enjoy was getting a bit more of Asami’s backstory — his mom, his dad, their dynamic. That part was interesting. And honestly, I was happy to see the actors again because their chemistry is still really good. They’re always appealing to watch.

But the story? I don’t know. Maybe it’s me and I just didn’t connect with or understand the direction of season two. The acting was great — that’s not the issue — the story just left me thinking “what the hell?” It wasn’t what I expected at all.
