When You Love Yourself 2 (2019)

This drama did not disappoint! I love everything about this series, and I love that they used the same cast, even adding a few additional characters. This season was equally as good as the first season, and I'm so proud of how this came out. Starting off with the basics;

Story: (9.5) I loved the storyline so so much, and I think the writers did a really good job in showing how each character just accepted themselves for who they were at some point. I think the writers did a really good job in adding a LGBTQ+ character, despite how rough the korean public can be at times towards gay roles. One thing that did tick me off a little bit was probably Yumi's character. She honestly made me upset at times, but it also showed me that not all seemingly perfect people are actually perfect. They may be suffering something that you can not see. I personally think that her problem was a serious mental health issue, and most people overlook it because characters with inferiority complexes tend to be annoying, but it is actually a serious issue that affect a lot of people. I think the actor portrayed her role so well, and really showed how she matured and grew throughout the story.

Acting/Cast: (10) If I could go higher, I probably would. I loved the cast and their chemistry so so much. I was really rooting for Seon Ho and Joo Hyuk, but I guess not everything goes the way you want it to. I'm so glad that there was a LGBTQ+ character. I really didn't think it would happen since the korean public is still a little touchy about that subject, but I'm really glad that they added Seon Ho in because he really did such a good job confusing me. I had no idea whether he liked Joo Hyuk, Soo Rin, or Gu Seul! I'm really happy with the chemistry of all the actors, and I think Shin Se Hwi portrayed Yumi very well.

Music: (10) Not much to say for this, since I didn't really notice any music but a 10 it is.

Rewatch Value: (9.0) I took off a whole point just because I wouldn't be able to stand watching Yumi being bitchy to Soo Rin, but watching them make-up and Yumi backing up Seon Ho's bullies made me feel so much better. I will come back to this drama, maybe skipping a few episodes or so, but I will definitely rewatch this someday.

Overall: (9.5) This web drama was overall just really really good so you guys should give it a try. It really shows how you should learn to accept yourself and love yourself. This drama really teaches valuable lessons, and I think you should really give this a try.

The full series is on Youtube, go and support it, it's worth it, I promise! Happy watching!
