Second Lead Syndrome
This sequel season falls victim to one of the many tropes that sequels fall to, which is that the main couple is already together and the "new" obstacle that is introduced into the relationship is simply not as interesting as a fresh love interest who is every bit as charming AND would deal with the same obstacle better. The acting for the second lead was really good as well and he pretty much stole the show for me.
Plotwise it was okay; the switch was definitely weaker than the first season, but the variety show itself was decently fun and I think the side characters were good additions to the story.
Similar to S1, it was really Da-eun's plot that was interesting to watch; Byul's side at the cafe felt out of place and even though they wrote her "expressionlessness" into the story, her character just feels utterly bland.
Still, for a web series it's decent — it doesn't feel tropey or cringey and it's certainly fun to watch.
