TinCan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been TinCan trash from season one. Going into this show I was nervous they would do something to ruin them, but honestly all this season did was make me love them more. While the reboot idea did not initially sit well with me, I think it proved to be a good decision. Sure, we did not get as much of the enemies aspect that we did in season one, but we got to see them being friends before they got together and I loved to see that. You could see in this season (that wasn't apparent in season one) that they really complement each other and enjoy each other's company and genuinely like being in the presence of the other.

Tin's motivations also seemed so much clearer to me than in season one. I loved seeing his character development, and how Can called him out whenever he overstepped his boundaries. Honestly their argument scenes were some of my favourites because they felt so real. Both Mean and Plan, I thought, acted really well. I especially love Plan's acting. He adds these microexpressions to the character that are just... so freaking good. I feel like a lesser actor would not have been able to capture the nuances of Can's character even half as well. He manages to go from sweet baby to feisty to shy to confident in the blink of an eye and makes it seem so natural. Also considering the writing was not the best, the actors did a great job with the delivery.

I especially loved to see how TinCan were such a healthy, communicative couple without losing their individual chaotic energies. I personally could not care less about the kiss scenes. For me it was their dynamic that I loved in season one, and I loved their dynamic here just as much, if not more (considering Tin wasn't forcing Can to interact with him). They're funny and cute and chaotic and communicative. I especially loved that after they got together, the conflicts were all external instead of the writers forcing some dumb miscommunication issues between the characters. They genuinely felt so real to me. None of their conversations were some romantic poetry that felt stilted and fake... they spoke like real people would and I loved to see it. I'm not generally a sappy romantic, but every scene between them made me melt. Plus they are so funny?? I love couples that make me laugh.

I gave this show an 8.5 partly cause of the writing/some aspects of the production quality, but also cause of the side-couples. I didn't like Klano in season one, and I didn't like them here. It's not the fault of the actors - they played them well - I just don't like the storyline. Never did. TumTar always bored me, so I was excited to see the budding relationship between Tum and Keen but we didn't get enough of them. TulHin... again... I didn't care about them?? I didn't like either of the characters much and so it was hard for me to care about them as a pairing. Ae was sad throughout, which after a while got really dull to watch.

That said, TinCan made up for it all. Would definitely watch it again for them specifically.
