My first reaction after the first few minutes which lingered into the rest of the series...I came in excited about the second season as there were still a lot of questions to be answered from the first season. But somehow, this season added even more questions and plotlines that don't make sense. They should have killed off Yoo Han because the kidnapping reason for his disappearance sounds so lame, and it feels like MC is cheating in a way by adding the new love interest Sehyun. The "romantic" moments between the two feel out of place and abrupt, at this point I'd rather them just stay as friends even though this is supposed to be BL. They're cute but they never tied up the loose ends with Yoo Han so it feels wrong for them to be together romantically.

What happened to Yeon Woo's color rush moments? None since his probe Yoo Han got kidnapped IN FRONT OF WEON WOO and Yeon Woo couldn't save him somehow /facepalm. I would get excited when Yeon Woo feels excited from the color rush, and feel sad when Yeon Woo stars experiencing decoloring. Now these moments are gone because Sehyun is a Mono too.

There is so much to explore in terms of the world building with Mono and Probes, but like the top reviewer said they wasted all the potential and added an unnecessary plotline. It's focused on some secret society shit and Sehyun's sister. Which I guess could be done well, but it's just way too rushed and the way the main characters are able to enter the "secret" society is too easy, lol. This season has a hard time focusing on who the main character is. Sometimes it's Yeon Woo, othertimes it shifts to Sehyun or Sehyun's sister's perspective.

The ending was so anticlimactic. They find Yeon Woo's mom and assume she's dead because of her hairband drifting in a pond...there's no dead body, and Yeon Woo just quietly accepts her death even though his mom seemed so important to him in season 1. Also the "kiss" between Yeon Woo and Sehyun was so fake even though Sehyun imagined it. I didn't think there could be a kiss any worse than what happened with Yeon Woo and Yoo Han in season 1 but here we are. Stop it with the head tilting to make it seem like the actors kissed please.

The first season had some odd moments too but overall I was able to follow the story and a depth of emotions. In season 2, whenever someone is sad or angry, it feels so surface level. I can't tell if it's the actors' fault because I think mostly the writing and editing is just so bad. I came in with higher expectations based on the reviews - I wish I could say I liked it as much as the others did, but I didn't.
