This is not a continuation

I personaly liked part 2 somehow, not as much as part 1, but for me it was more like a historical romcom, a side story more than a continuation of AOS (that is what we were promised it would be) The chemistry was good, the acting was good, but the writting took another path from part 1 and the pace was slower.


----------------------------------------

The first eps, Ig, it´s ok as a "kind of continuation or whatever" of what happened with mudeok when she was on the lake and how she became the one she is now and so but from then on they just keep dragging the amnesia and lovely dovey trope until almost the very end. On ep 6 they instroduce formaly a new problem they need to solve but it becomes a sub sub sub sub plot of the sub plot until ep 10 and answer to whatever you have doubts came mostly on the last ep too. At least they solved from part one Yul´s illness and I´m glad at least they did, but they took like two ep just for that only.

For me the biggest problem of this part was the amnesia trope cause they totaly changed Naksu´s personality and even when she recovered her memory she still didn´t feel like the Naksu we know (and that´s not the actress problem but writters and direction).

The body wasn´t the problem cause she has the same body sinse part 1 and that never stopped her from achiving what she wanted.
If you want to tell me she wanted to live a normal live you at leasthave to show me how she took that decision, and let´s pretend it was the case, there is an scent of who you are.

I mean I love romance I fuc**ng love romance, but this is not just a romantic drama, it is a GREAT part of it but never was the main focus. At least until part 2 happened.

If you tell me part 2 was another story I would take that but don´t tell me this is a continuation of part 1, cause not, it is not it.

I can´t say how much disappointed I am with the writters cause this is a story I cared so much for, and at the end I felt like they messed it up. I´m glad everyone had their happy ending but I will remember this as a cute side story and for me AOS end on ep 20.

For respect to the actors my rating is a 7/10.

And just to say, I have the right to write a review bad or good about how I feel about a drama I spent hours watching, so if you think I should know your opinion or if you don´t agree, go and write a review too.

Don´t come at me saying I´m a hater for not liking the things the same way you do.
