Reading the plot, it seems like it isn't really a sequel since the characters now are the actual actors (with their names and everything) and not the characters that they play in Season 1.
Great start. The story is interesting and the cinematography is topnotch. I heard that the writers are from ABSCBN, so I won't be surprised if the story will be good.
The location I feel like was set up in a Furniture Store. Like, all their displayed products in one corner...especially in their dining scene in the very beginning of the episode. The pacing was kinda boring me; though, I'll see the later two other episodes to determine if it's for me or not.
