Must Watch
The acting and direction is clearly on another level compared to the first season. The story is straight forward but effective. The acting is decent enough though Fandy Fan (Xia) is definitely the star of the show. The captain, Hur, is great as the comic relief. The exception is the step-brothers' plot line, which feels very fake and forced. Their acting is also sub-par. There are no stereotypes, caricatures, or common BL pitfalls like calling one of the gay men the wife. The characters didn't self-identify with a specific sexuality but the show does acknowledge sexualities and also that "the times are different now. Liking the same sex isn't a big deal." There is one fujoshi but she has been respectful throughout the show. I can always come back and watch it for a pick-me-up. I already rewatched it several times.
There's a sequel coming out in form of a movie called 跨界! They started filming in 2019.
