C-drama style. I’ve seen this before in Only For Love, there, it was always the cell phone. At least this one has a variety of reasons why they can’t kiss.
I’m more invested in the FL’s & ML’s roommates romance than I am in the main couple. Fl’s roommate is painfully shy and intimidated by ML’s roommate so she freezes up instead of making conversation with him, and he, on his part, is bending over backwards to accommodate her.
Don’t know if this is a recipe for disaster or what. I wish she was as open with him as she was when she was exercising and before developing an interest in him. But I’ve never seen it bode well for a relationship if the female is too shy to speak her mind causing a normally garrulous man to be tongue tied.
Read the comments. A lot of it is that people got upset because Song Kang, the main character was given less screen time. But more than that, people are put off because this season wasted a good amount of time on characters we didn't care about that only served as filler.
I can do with Song Kang having less screen time if it makes creative sense and personally didn't have a problem with it. My questions are:
1) Why spend so much time on the autistic man and then the senseless killing of his mother, after which he just explodes into a bloody pulp? (No background, no real connection to the characters) 2) Why spend so much time on that spoiled little princess, her bestie, the priest, those two gossiping ajusshis with nothing fleshed out? (They remain two dimensional characters that I could care less about). 3) At least Hani's arc and the ajusshi that wears leaves makes a bit of sense - if the point they are trying to make is that there are survivors who go it alone. 4) Why not spend more time on Yi Kyung and her monster baby, flesh it out more, let's care about them a lot more? Instead of the drama just showing us snippets and expecting us to care how they turned out?
If I can paraphrase it, the trouble with Season 2 is that they sacrificed narrative sense, empathy and humanization of the humans & monsters for big budget gimmicks like monsters that look like terminators and aliens, violence, nudity and other excessively gratuitous scenes. It's okay if you like bells and whistles, but it's also okay for people who wanted a human story that resonates with them just like season 1 did, to not care for this sequel.
although i don't like this season very much, it is because of my personal preferences. i am surprised to learn…
