Apparently Yang Yang won't be in the second season because he left the management company. Pity because I loved him in this season!

Almost none... some hints at potential romance in the future but for the most part no romance. Some bromance if thats your kinda thing.

Any one have suggestions on similar C-dramas?

Beautiful drama. Breath of fresh air into Korean Television, which is way too often saturated with pointless romcoms, nonsensical 'City Hunter' wannabes and boring sageuks. The heart and sophistication behind the writing, direction and acting is just incredible. Best drama of the year, and up there with Reply 1997 as the best ever. tvN solidifies it's place as the best channel for drama production.

Whats the first?

Good series; my favourite from TVB this year.

Best TVB drama in a long, long time.

Nope imo. Kinda tragic really, first ~4 episodes were great but the quality just dropped down a cliff.

Crash and burn...
