That's only the second title among all the series he had that had a sequel. And he doesn't hate doing sequels he just doesn't like doing so before. Maybe his ideals and preference changed in time?
Japanese doramas tends to have more of this. I could list down a lot that I have seen but there are lots more that I have not seen yet...
So to name a few...
For doramas: Beautiful Life, The Grand Tribe and A Sleeping Forest of Takuya Kimura. Yes, A Million Stars Falling from the Sky can be included but I am not a fan of the genre.
For movies: 100th Love with You, Tomorrow I will date yesterday's you
Hello, I fell In love with j doramas 3 years ago. But I am a bit frustrated with how it does not get the attention…
Wow! I'd suggest you join D-Addicts (if you haven't yet!). It's a community composed of subbers and watchers. That's where I "met" all these wonderful subber.
I could be wrong though
