a beautifully depicted love between two unperfect people

!! I'm giving a rough outline, but won't give any specific spoilers !!

I was really excited for a second season, so I am glad that it didn't disappoint. It's a very angsty season for the reason that we watch our main couple push each other away and hurting each other for 8 episodes. But man, I am a sucker for angst.

The production of this season felt a lot better than the first one. The quality visually and in acting was something I am honestly not used to from BLs. Son Woo Hyun and Kim Kang Min have incredible chemistry that they got to show off even better in this season. There was not a single doubt in my mind that these two characters love each other. I gave half a point off because Kim Kang Min has to work on his crying. He tried so hard but not a single tear in sight...

Also, the side characters introduced made the show enjoyable and gave us the emotional break between all the angst. I'm a huge fan of the little girl and her mother. Girl powerr, let's gooo!

Now, for the storyline of this season: I love it. We get to learn more about Ji Woo and his personality and about his fears in this relationship. Maybe it's because I can relate to Ji Woo, that I can understand his actions this season and understood how much he must've been hurting inside. We learn more about the dynamic the couple has had and what kind of emotional labour both of them had to do and see them trying to resolve their problems in each their own way. Too bad they are the complete opposites.
I do wish they would've spent more time to resolve Ji Woo's fears, to make him work on and overcome them and properly communicate them with Seo Jun. I felt like that resolve fell a little short.

As you can tell, this season is an emotional one. You are rooting for the main characters to break through to each other and finally open up completely. But oh my god, I loved the burn.
