I really did not like the plot of season 1, but did not really have anything better lined up, so against my better judgement decided to pick this up. The previous season's final 3 episodes were basically trash & I have to give it to the Hong sisters, at least they managed to recover from that quite gracefully in the early episodes, it must have taken quite a bit of creative effort to somewhat -obviously not perfectly- untangle the mess they've made.
I enjoyed watching the first 7 episodes, more so than the first 17 episodes of season 1. The pacing was much better & the new actress did a reasonable job as well.

While I don't regret watching this, it's quite a shame that the final 3 episodes of season 2 are also a jumbled mess with incredible asspulls left and right & that's out of 10 episodes now, as such obviously I'm unable to give this a very good rating.
