Good Enough
Second season of the Japanese Drama 'Iine Hikaru Genji-kun' brings back all the beloved characters from the first season. We get to see what happened to them and a conclusion to the story, as well as an explanation of the whole fantasy element.
However, the drama was too short and it tried to add in too many plot lines, from the love story, to the love triangle and the time travel trope. Every character, other than the main leads, gets a few scenes and a short screening time. They were also there only to prompt the love story forward. The latter, though cute, was also rushed and everything happened really fast, founding the emotional built to the previous season's dynamics.
Finally, the performances were pretty great from everyone in the cast and the time travel was smoothly handled.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.
