Trigger warning: full-on incest and sexual abuse, drug use, violence, prositution, self harm.
If these are things you are not comfortable with, do not watch it.

If you liked the first season for being cute and funny, then you might gonna be in for a surprise this season, because the tone shifts quite a lot and not towards comedy. The main characters are still cute, the acting is still so-so, but not terrible, the show is a lot more streamlined than in the first season being only 8 episodes long and kudos for tying up the storylines for most characters well, but boy does it go to some dark places! From the whole season what stood out was the incest storyline. It was quite a shock. I really did not expect it from this show. I am used to "fake" incest in asian dramas, where adopted siblings fall in love, but this is not that. They really went in and explored some very real subjects from siblings who are did not grow up together, and find each other later in life being attracted to each other, to extreme violence and self-harm.

It was different from what I expected based on the first season, but overall I still liked this season, even though I feel like the quality of writing and directing was lower, which is shame because the storylines had a lot of potential and were still interesting and most of the times engaging.

I do not want to spoil the ending, but let´s just say this is one of those series that where you look back at the first season after completing the second and start wondering, did they have this ending in mind all along...
