I would have preferred a longer S2 as well, to be honest.

You are making total sense. I thought Naksu's soul was still in control for S2. Didn't they say once she recovered her memory then Buyeon would take over the body? My understanding was that Naksu was still present but her memories were wiped. The family claimed she was Buyeon b/c that was the soul they intended to save buy our feisty Naksu was just too strong.

For me S1 really gave us that slow burn relationship/backstory so S2 didn't have to be so detailed. the alchemy was more of a plot device than anything. I shall bow out humbling and accept that I may be fully wrong in my opinion.
