I feel like this sequel is a bit bland. Everything, from the interactions to the plot progression, even down to details like the episode lengths, feels very consistent, almost too much so. It’s not necessarily a bad thing; you'd expect some continuity from season 1. But with Netflix involved, I thought they might take a few more risks with the writing. I was hoping for something a little more dynamic, and instead ended up with a sequel that felt monotone, even if it was solidly put together.

I felt like Si Eun deserved more time to explore his feelings, thoughts, and inner struggles. The first season handled the characters’ depth wonderfully, but in this sequel, it felt rushed and too repetitive.

That said, Jihoon still stands out with his acting, and I still enjoyed the other characters, even if the sense of thrill wasn’t quite there this time.

I get the sense they made this sequel mainly to wrap things up cleanly, and to capitalize on the show's initial popularity, but as the producer once said, it wasn't originally planned to have a sequel and I can understand why.
