really like your perspective! i wonder tho if the author wanted to keep it short or if they had to. i feel like the characters lost some depth in s2 as if things that were planned weren't going to be possible. i was also baffled seeing how jin kang and yiyeon were dealing with things and their relationship as if everything were that simple.
While reading I loved it tbh, I really love the silly romance like these 2 had so I didn’t mind how the story was laid out despite being pretty predictable but in the midst of writing my review I now understand why others were disappointed but I stand strong in my 4 star rating bc I lowkey eat up corny stories even if I come to realize they r lowkey bad, like I know myself and I probably would reread this
Anyways I really loved the story and relationship building in season 1 sm and although it was obvious how things would unveil it still had me giddy and rolling around in my bed.
But season 2 is where I can admit started to drag and lacked a bit of depth all round. I feel like there could’ve been more internal struggle shown within both our mcs, like now looking back yiyeon nvr struggled with anything really other than losing lrot and even then he was always 2 steps ahead and a lot of Jin kangs struggles were brushed off or didn’t really have lasting effect on his character really, but I partially believe it’s bc the author wanted him to be really naive and didn’t know what else to do with his character? Like we learn (although I asummed) about him not having any family growing up right at the end and that’s that like ???? They don’t think to touch on how that had any effect on his character
Overall I think the author planned to keep it short and somewhat attempted to bring depth and flesh things out but then ended up keeping it more on the lighthearted side and not super serious considering things like death and the affect of what these hackers had on the real world was kinda like an afterthought LMAO but I idk still loved the romance and the banter so it’s good in my eyes (⌒▽⌒)
