A Lesser Sequel
This is a sequel to Love by Chance, but it doesn't have the main Bl couple from that season. I read up to see what happened to Saint, and it looks like some drama between Perth and Saint's managers led to a weird fallout. Not having Pete's character was a problem. This made Ae into a sad sack for almost the entire season. Perth does a good job with a nothing role. We also never get a clear reason why Pete and Ae break up, though they give you some information you can infer the reason, but you really have to google what happened in the book to actually get a clear picture.
All the relationships seem to assume the first season happened, except Tin and Can get a complete reboot for some reason. They reenact various scenes from the first Love by Chance season for what feels like the word-for-word but under different narrative reasons or locations. It isn't until the start of episode 7 that something new happens between Tin and Can.
I actually really like Can. He is a naive simpleton with a good heart. When he and Tin finally do get together, it is kinda adorable.
The subplot of Kla and No is still bothersome. Kla takes advantage of No when he is drunk one night, and the first season ends with them heading into a relationship because Kla gaslighted No. However, in this season, No realizes what actually happened but becomes fixated on Kla as a love interest. However, he is angry at what happened but also doesn't want to fall for his brother's best friend who is still in high school. There are so many problems with this relationship. Kla's love letters and defense of himself are deeply deeply problematic and reflect an immaturity when it comes to understanding love or romance. This subplot should have been removed or significantly altered.
The plot around Tin's brother, I think, works fine. However, the resolution between Tin and his older brother is too simple and easy.
A lot about this sequel series just doesn't work well for me. The Tin/Can relationship is enjoyable, but I don't like the fact half of the season is just retreading the same ground from the first season.
