TL;DR GO WATCH A-TEEN SEASON 2 NOW!!!

**a little bit of spoilers ahead,, somewhere in the middle**
Season 1 of A-Teen was fantastic, and I was looking forward to Season 2 even more. This show continues to provide a lovely glimpse into the lives of high school students, their friendships, and their relationships. This season was just as enjoyable as the first, it was lighthearted. I definitely recommend this teen drama if you're looking for a realistic yet lighthearted teen web drama about life challenges, academic stress, goal/soul searching, classmate jealousy, and other topics. I found myself identifying to many of the characters' challenges in school. The plot is well-written and moves along smoothly. The romance/crushes are only mentioned briefly, which is quite realistic! Especially if you're in South Korea for your senior year! In real life, you'd have to devote your whole life to studying and college preparation, leaving you with few to no time to date or even hang out with your pals! As a result, there are lack of romantic and friendship story lines, which I understand. I admired the actors and how beautifully they embodied their characters as though they were real people. If you preferred the young romance and love triangles of Season 1, this season is not for you. It's just a brief, enjoyable show that's amusing to watch or again.

Despite my enjoyment, I don't believe I enjoyed it as much as the first season for a variety of reasons. To begin with, Do Ha-Na was almost non-existent! I was disappointed that Do Ha Na was no longer one of the lead characters because I adored her. However, I enjoy fresh characters as well. I adored her as a stand-alone character, and I believed that without her, the series would be far less focused on friendship. Second, I had the impression that there were still a lot of unsolved mysteries from Season 1! Take the girl Shi-Woo used to know, for example. Third, I really liked Joo-Ha as a character, but I'm not too sure about him. I don't know whether that's just because he's new and I haven't totally warmed up to him yet (especially since we don't know much about him other than his parents being gone).

The new characters added this season are interesting; they have their own dynamic, but the focus remains on the core cast. Kim HaNa's character developed nicely, and her relationship with Joo Ha was really sweet. I really like how the show looks at the options open to high school seniors in their senior year, highlighting that not everyone needs or wants to go to college. I believe the first season's plot is better since the three ladies' friendship is more focused, but the second season feels more simple, apart from that, I strongly like it :)) I also love how they depict siblings' relationships; it's so relatable!! Because each episode is only a few minutes long, you can watch this drama while studying, working, or in the middle of something else. I liked this season and everything else, but I wish that more of the problems/misunderstandings were solved. Like for example, Kim Minji, I wanted to know more about her in depth, like her thoughts and what she feels, maybe just a glimpse of her day after Ah Hyun revealed the information (if you know what i'm talking about, sorry I can't say it due to the reason I'd spoil it for the people who haven't watched A-Teen 2 yet). I just need my questions and doubts to be answered. I wanted to know if MinHa and Ah Hyun's relationship will change? will they date or will they not? I wanted to know more about Yeo BoRam's family issue and how they will change and start to care for her feelings. I was devastated and quite upset when DoHa and Si Woo broke up, but I know it's for their best and that DoHa needed time alone and some space, so I respected that, I still wish we could get more scenes with the both of them. Although with many questions, I truly enjoyed this season. I loved the realistic sibling arguments with Cha KiHyun and Cha AhHyun, although they fight and argue, we can tell how they care about each other. Especially when KiHyun found out that AhHyun came home crying (can't reveal anymore details, if you're interested, please watch A-Teen 2).

How, while no two people are alike, they all have issues, and not all of them can be resolved in the same way. Everyone has different interests, and tertiary education may or may not be the best option for you. Uncertain crushes, putting forth your best effort, and other topics are discussed. The tale is pleasant and above average; it is enjoyable to watch and has a high rewatch value, as several parts are particularly appealing and may be viewed multiple times. The actors had me utterly smitten, and I shipped at least two couples.


Ryu Joo Ha and Cha Ah Hyun, two new cast members, adding to the beauty of the plot. I expected Kim Hana would be with Ha Min at first, but she ended up with Ryu Jooha at the conclusion of the episode, which surprised me, I was relieved and delighted that she was with Ryu Jooha since Ryu Jooha always looked out for Kim Hana and made her happy; they were adorable together, whereas Ha Min made Kim Hana miserable and uncomfortable in season one. Cha Ah Hyun, Ki Hyun's younger sister, was adorable and added to the story's delight and humour. Despite the fact that the season came to an abrupt end, I enjoyed every episode's story. This drama had a straightforward plot that was enjoyable to watch in your spare time and didn't require much thought to comprehend.

BUT FORMALITIES ASIDE, I NEEDED SOME TYPE OF CLOSURE, I WANT, NO ACTUALLY NEED!! TO SEE HOW AH HYUN AND HA MIN WILL GET, GROW AND DEVELOP TOGETHER. If a season 3 is not possible, I just need 4 special episodes for our remaining questions and needs. PLEASE. But if we DO get a season 3, I hope it'd focus more on Ha Min and Ah Hyun's relationship since in Season 1, it was mostly about Si Woo and DoHa, and then in season 2, it was about KimHa and JooHa.

I strongly advise you to watch it. It's a really lovely series. It made me feel lonely, but it's well worth watching. I'm completely enamored with it. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Their acting is a ten out of ten since it is among the greatest. I adore the story line they built; some may be dissatisfied by the changes from season one, but I enjoyed it and was generally pleased with the series. There isn't anything major that bothers me here, just a few of unsolved questions.
YOU, the one who's reading this review, if you haven't watched A-Teen/A-Teen 2 yet, what are you waiting for? Go ahead!!
Overall rate: 9/10.
