I don’t know if people view these 2 seasons as separate but for the mast majority I believe these both are a must watch together as the story doesn’t feel complete with just season 1. The second season introduced more characters and way more differing issues. I loved how they made their reasons for breaking up realistic (main girl breaking up due to the companies threat upon japan’s economy). The fiancée was the least annoying in this version and I liked how they brought her back at the end as a friend of the leads. Rui’s character in this season continues with saving main girl in dire situations and his character is simply ADORABLE, he really made the competition between him and male lead believable with how great of a character he was. I wouldn’t say I had second lead syndrome but rui’s character was definitely one to be adored. The main couple went through many trials in this season but got through it! It was satisfying to see how they held on to the “we are meant for each other” especially with the main dude. They added the amnesia plot at the end of things unlike other seasons where it was towards the beginning of the story but I really liked how they did that and recreated the elevator scene word for word for him to remember who she was it was adorable. The new characters we were introduced to head maid of the manor and Ken alongside others, were great! I didn’t expect ken’s plot line to be like that and I was surprised but it was a good addition to the plot line. This was a great continuation of S1 and I enjoyed it very much and was super satisfied when I finished! I highly recommend!!
