Yes, Leo Wu apparently turned down the offer of appearing in the second season. I would assume his decision was made due to the negative reviews of the first season.
I have just watched two episode and the story were too different from the novel.......even the mc that supposed…
Yeah, I was disappointed to see that the drama is completely different. Don't get me wrong -- I am enjoying the drama, but I wish they had followed the novel. The only similarities between the novel and the drama "adaption" are the entertainment theme and the manager's ability to see the future.
I simply stopped comparing the drama and the novel and treated the drama as something loosely based off of the novel.
After watching the first two episodes, I feel disappointed. I loved YHM's performance in Tunnel, but in this drama, his acting feels exaggerated. The CGI also bothers me. I did my best to ignore it and take the drama lightly, but it pestered me as I watched the episodes. I may drop this, but I hope those who continuing watching will enjoy their time.
The idea of the girl suffering from a disease and spending her remaining days with the main character reminds me of Kitamura Takumi's 2017 project I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.

I like the light novel so I'm pretty excited for this. I hope it'll deliver.
