Same director but altered cast as Hwall/Hur Hyun Jun (Yoo Han) is out. This time the plot revolves around less monos & probes and more just monos. Yeon Woo searching for his mother (and, sort of, his probe) joined by Se Hyun, whose sister is involved. As in Color Rush this BL is stylish, but it’s not as narratively innovative as the first installment.

We all kinda saw the reveal of SeHyun’s identity coming, but it does mean we’re right back in gay allegory territory for obvious reasons (they are both the same identity AKA same gender). This time the question is:

Can you miss something you never had? Especially when it has to do with your own identity? Also, has SeHyun switched his (supposedly) natural inclination towards obsession onto Yeon Woo?

I liked it more than I was expecting to. And I liked Hyuk a lot more than I was expecting too, actually. And it was clever, notice SeHyun in the Yoo Han style hoodie, but carefully not a color Yoo Han ever wore?

Honestly, in the end I don’t know what to say about Color Rush 2.

Does it stand alone as a BL? I don’t know that’s not how I watched it, and I doubt others will.
Does it work as the second installment of a trilogy? Absolutely.
Does it work as the final installment of a duology. Absolutely NOT.

So yeah, what else can I do but say, for now..
