Disappointing
This was hyped so much, I was expecting something amazing, but it was mediocre at best. It started out pretty good; the quality was much better than season 1 and the first two episodes had me hooked, but then it quickly devolved into slice of life and nonsensical drama. We get it, Seo Joon is a celebrity and he gets bad articles written about him. It's the same plot as season 1 all over again, except the MLs are getting back together instead of getting together for the first time.
I honestly found Ji Woo's character extremely toxic. The reason he broke up with Seo Joon and ran away never really makes sense even after he explains it to both his ex and Seo Joon, and he's a total dick for 99% of the series. The worst part is when he sleeps with Seo Joon at the end of episode 4, only to start treating him like garbage again the next day. Then he stays like this until the last episode, where he delivers one of the worst crying scenes I've seen in a drama. The crying was so bad it made me laugh.
A lot of things didn't add anything to the plot and just felt really random. Ji Woo's dad's friend who scammed the entire village? Why did they blame Ji Woo for that when he was in high school at the time? Makes no sense. Ji Woo's ex? I get that she was there to make Seo Joon think that Ji Woo still liked her, but they really didn't do much with that so it seemed a bit pointless. Also, for an ex that supposedly broke Ji Woo's heart, he forgave her real fast. And how exactly did she find out Seo Joon was Ji Woo's ex? Their conversation was disjointed and her thought process was never shown. Ho Min becoming an idol? I get that the actor is an idol in real life, but that was so random and unnecessary.
One of the things that bothered me the most in season 1 was that Seo Joon's PTSD about things breaking was never explained, so I waited all of season 2 to get an explanation, only to get an underwhelming, half-assed flashback in the last episode. It didn't make a lot of sense. The whole thing about his parents moving to Italy because he annoys them was also random.
All of that said, the leads have pretty good chemistry and Son Woo Hyun's acting is great, but it's not enough to save the mediocre plot.
