Did we need a sequel? Really?
Towards the end of the season I was genuinely hate watching it. I was so bored and some of the episodes felt so dragged out. Not only that, Season 2 and 3 should have just been one season and to be honest, did not need to exist.I felt as if a lot of the deaths were lackluster - a lot of characters did not get plots that were worthy of the actors or their characters arcs. There were also too many questions left unanswered - and I can promise you that if there is any further seasons I will not be watching so I guess I will never know.
The continuation was so bad that I stopped wondering about characters or motivations that I have previously cared for.
If you enjoyed S1 then I recommend you do not continue the series as it is only a downwards trajectory from there.

Captivating
I will admit that I am new to GLs after watching mostly BLs.I really enjoyed the production, although i did have a hard time believing that any of these outfits were work-wear (but that is a recurring issue with any drama set in a workplace.
I really felt the chemistry between Lookmhee and Sonya and loved watching as their characters went through a full spectrum of emotions together. I really felt for Ai and Mae as they tried to navigate their work and their growing feelings for each other. Even though Mae frustrated me at times, I felt like her motivations made sense. I spent the whole time rooting for them and found myself desperate to know what happened next.
I also loved the second couple - and not just because Belle is so cute. I felt like their relationship was also realistic, their issues seemed to be very well linked the main story. To be honest, sometimes I found myself wishing they would just communicate better, but they both had their own reasons and motivations.
The overall plot was interesting, I found the corporate espionage element interesting, and even without the romance i would have probably watched it to see what would happen.
Overall, this was a great time and I can see myself re-watching this in the future and the title song was a banger.

The Princess Diaries but make it gay and with fencing
At first I was impressed by the budget that was spent on the locations and clothing. Although, I will say watching Zee struggle to bow his head in that starched collar was an experience. I do however, love love love Net in blue - and I hope they continue to dress him in blue in future projects as well.It was a nice look at JJ and Net's dynamic, although I wish they had had more screen time. I know they were the third couple, but I wanted to know more about Jay and Calvin. Their chemistry was nice and I could really feel the emotions between the pair as their plot developed.
I wish we'd seen more of Ava and Mira - but that is my lesbian self projecting. Ava was a wonderful character and I couldn't help but feel she was underutilized.
Jimmy and Ohm as Paytai and Ramil were really the ones that caught my attention the most. They were dynamic, but were unfortunately let down by the script. The relationship presented was complex and layered but the script didn't allow the actors to show the entire depth, which was a shame.
Zee and Nunew's perforamnce was good and they continue to grow together. I really enjoyed seeing them in an almost reversed role, with Nunew playing the more confident Khanin and Zee playing the more reserved and uncertain Charan. I think they played the dynamic well and honestly, think I prefer this to the dynamic they tend to play.
The plot could have done with some revisions and maybe with some extra help in the script writing it would have really made this drama even more successful. I wish we had got to see more of the country and the dynamics between the region.

Already can't wait to rewatch
I was a little apprehensive going in to this, not entirely sure that a bluetooth twin connection that relies on proximity is quite the vibe - but for plot reasons it was helpful.I found myself falling in love with White and Sean, even when they did stupid or illogical things, I rooted for them until the end. It is also one of the few times where at the end of these dramas I think to myself, that this couple will stay together in the longer term.

A lovely quick watch
I watched this on the recommendation of a close friend. My normal drama's are often darker and I often struggle to get into fluff.This drama series is obviously an ad - but that does not take away from the sweet, slice of life of it all. I loved every second of this and found myself not wanting to go to be so I could watch it more and more.
The only disappointment for me, was that I wanted more episodes, I wanted to see so much more of them.
