The show hasn't even aired yet and you're already making assumptions of what the dynamic between the two female leads will be.

Trying to run away while being surrounded sounds like an incredibly risky idea that would just get more people killed, especially when they also have to protect two people who can't fight (and we literally say how well that went during the episode when they had to protect Si-woo). And their grief would probably effect how well they fight too. If the villains aren't directly shooting at them, maybe the best play is to stay quiet and let them think that they've won. Honestly, they probably stand a better chance at escaping the fire.

If he was going to shoot him in non-fatal points, he wouldn't have shot him twice lol.

Of course the shortest episode ends up being the most heartbreaking one. This one hurt.

Raise your hand if that scene from episode 5 made you sick (you know the one).

I mean, they'd just be on the run for the rest of their lives then, also forever having to live with the trauma of their pasts because they never properly faced it. Also, because running is boring and we'd literally have no drama that way.

Just Je-na wanting to convince Hye-in to work with her, and obviously not taking "no" for an answer. Realistically, I think there are only 2 things she could've written down: either the money Hye-in owns Je-na for getting her into Diamond 6, or the money Hye-in is about to earn while working with Je-na.

I think YeRi is at her best whenever she gets to be the badass that Je-na is supposed to be, but that didn't happen all that much this season.

I thought episode 9 was pretty refreshing. It was nice to see the ML & FL take a backseat for once while the others in the ensemble took more center stage. And I liked seeing Ju-hyeong give advice to them, while Hui-ji provided support.

Didn't really like the first episode. It seems like they wanted to go a comedic route, also with the constant silly comedy music, but honestly, I don't think I laughed even once.

They haven't confirmed anything about a third season (Lee Eun-saem literally said this too). Everything was pretty much resolved one way or the other. And, besides, what the heck are they gonna do in a third season? They've basically taken down all the corrupt people involved with the school, and they can't actually leave that school behind, because the Korean title is literally Cheongdam International High School.

They didn't forgive him, and everybody knew he was guilty. Hye-in literally said so to Do-eon. They just didn't have any proof to take him down with, so they used him to take down Yul-hee instead. The ending literally implied that Do-eon is going after Woo-jin, so I wouldn't really say he's getting away, he merely thinks he did.

Here's something that always bothered me with this drama: for a drama that feels like it should be centered around the dynamic of Hye-in and Je-na, it rarely feels like that's actually the case. It already bothered me in S1, but it's worse here because this season is way less focused than S1 was. Like, why the heck does Je-na have more scenes with a guy that's not even connected to the main story than she does with the actual co-protagonist of the damn drama? It's like there was some kinda mandate that said they can't have more than 5 minutes of screentime together in an episode (and even 5 minutes would be a lot).

He was a boring waste of space that added nothing except take away screentime from the people that actually mattered. He's just there to look hot and mysterious 95% of the time, as if they desperately wanted people on social media to make edits about him. Quite frankly, he's a walking cliché with none of the fun or trashiness to make it work. He's so detached from everything that's going on too that the drama has to actively look for ways on how to involve him, and none of those ways really amount to anything. He technically has a story involving his family, but that literally never develops into anything substantial, and it remains seperated from everything else until the very end. Yeah, I guess he's Black Dog, but how was that in any way important or relevant? I guess he used it to take down villains nobody cared about, so congrats I guess?

And he drags down Je-na with him too. Her strongest moment are whenever she's not around him. Their romance feels forced, as if it has to be thrown in our faces constantly instead of actually developing something in a subtle or organic way.

I'm not saying this is Kim Min-kyu's fault, and I'm not even saying that him and Je-na don't have chemistry. The problem is the writing and the directing, which were at it's worst whenever he was around.

Probably just something Hye-in wouldn't be able to refuse, not sure that really matters honestly. Je-na wants Hye-in to work with her, and she ain't taking no for an answer, which I kinda love.

Well, at least we got an ending. I don't see that last scene as a cliffhanger honestly. I just interpret it as Je-na wanting to coax Hye-in into working with her, one way or the other. I don't think this warrants a third season, nor do I think it is necessary given most stuff was wrapped up here.

But, honestly, this season was a mixed bag. Too much focus on Jin-wook, who never really amounted to anything. Yeah, I guess he kinda took down the adults, but did anybody care about them to begin with? It's like the drama desperately wanted him to be important, yet they never actually found out how to make him important.

Je-na's best moments were always when she wasn't around Jin-wook (which, sadly, was most of the time). It's like her own personal stories (her rivalry with Yul-hee, her stepmom, ...) took a backseat in favor of forcing a romance between her and Jin-wook. The best thing about this story is that the drama was smart enough to ship him overseas so Je-na could be single and stand on her own.

I could complain about Sa-rang being usesless, but he was just as useless as So-mang, so I guess it runs in the family.

I really liked the stuff that carried over from S1, but the drama got too distracted by new stuff and new characters, that the whole thing just became all over the place. It's a shame really, but at least I'm mostly satisfied with the ending we got?

That episode 9 ending is such a "oh, f*ck off" type of cliffhanger. Though at least now I'm pretty sure Hye-in is not gonna frame Je-na. Regardless, can we actually center the finale around them, please? Like, enough of all these evil parents and other random characters, just focus on the characters the drama started out with at this point.

Quite frankly, I don't know what's more messed up: selling babies for a million, or Se-hui wanting her 14-year old daughter to carry a baby as a surrogate.

Also, Hae-in was far from perfect, but she did not deserve this. Like, what the heck even? I get they needed something to serve as a big catalyst for Hye-in, but surely there must've been another way? Those last few minutes were so hard to watch.

I'm really hoping that Hye-in & Je-na end up standing together at the end of all this. Like, we get all these small moments of support, and them caring for each other, and I really need that to pay off somehow. Because otherwise what's the point? Like, I'm getting kinda tired of them giving the guys these moments where they "save" the girls (mostly so the drama can then pretend they're relevant), when I just want to see Hye-in and Je-na really stick up for each other. We've had two seasons of build-up at this point, time to pay it off!
