As good as 1st season despite cast changes

Story: Similar to 1st season, this is a very character-arc driven story. Despite the cast change for Eunjae, I do think her story changes well with the change in actress. This series concentrate more on Jiwon's backstory and how it affects her present and how it changes her outlook and future. (*cue tears* *spoiler*) I think the romance might be better in this series, imo, probably because 1) Jiwon & Sungmin - we have seen them both previously as friends and their genuine friendship makes their relationship even more admirable 2) Eun & Janghoon - epic meet-cute scene along with taller girl and shorter guy, somehow the director/screenwriter really captured the awkward loveliness between both characters well enough I swooned for them. My only critique on the story may be similar to other reviewers, which is that Yeeun's romantic relationship could have written a bit better? In the sense of portraying mutually healthy relationships? (I don't think her romantic relationship will last in real life? maybe I'm just being pessimistic and I have never experienced romance in my real life lol what authority do I have)

Acting: Tbh, even though I said that the change in casting for Eunjae fits the changes in her storyline, I have to admit, there is a little stiffness/awkwardness in her acting. Besides that, I really have became a fan of Park Eunbin's acting through her portrayal of Jiwon especially in this season. Oh and Han Yeri's too since the 1st season! Best character has to be Jiwon, with her character arc being the most memorable. All round, stellar characters to journey with and yes, that includes the supporting cast.

Music: Same as previous season, good and fits the mood/scene well. I especially like 'day like to day' - drain.

Rewatch value: I generally do think slice-of-life/comedy series like these are rewatchable for hilarious moments when life seems dull or life lessons to remind oneself when life throws a curveball.

Conclusion/TLDR: This series is best watched if you have finished the prequel as it provides context for most of the main characters. Similar to the 1st season, it is all about navigating adulthood, like breakups and career woes (to a little extent), and confronting past trauma and recovering from them. (that should be the end of my review)

*I wish there was a 3rd season to portray final-year Eunjae (cuz I am in my final year of uni and I think Eunjae would be a good character to explore final year woes) or to see Jiwon's romance blossom in full bloom or her fights against injustice. I do think the series ended well and err...there was a semi-conclusive conclusion for all the characters' lives. (similar to six feet under's conclusion *spoiler* *questions writer-nim*)*
