Part 2 of possibly my favorite HYD Adaptation
Link to my review of Part 1: https://mydramalist.com/profile/7498003/reviews/280267
I sort of knew, going into this season, that my rating for the second part would be lower than that of the first part for the simple reason that there are a lot of new tropes that I dislike even more — amnesia, disapproving parent, etc. And that was certainly the outcome; I just generally didn't like this part as much even though the chemistry between the leads was still there, and I still really enjoyed both characters generally.
A lot of my comments from Part 1 are the same; I still love the female lead's character. She was headstrong and brave but without seeming naive and impulsive like other HYD interpretations. This season had a lot more of the ML being mean BUTTT I actually don't think it was as bad as the other adaptations.
With that being said, the benefit of the fast pacing still applies — Fewer episodes meant those tropes weren't dragged out, but it might, to a new viewer, feel like the subplots weren't in depth enough. Therefore, when we got to the secondary couple arc, I don't think it really had enough emotional weight.
Nevertheless, I really think this might be my favorite HYD adaptation that I've seen — I loved the main leads the most in this version and it's worth watching for them alone.
