Oh. My. God. Whatta beginning, hoo whee! That slap???? I was clutching my PEARLS. I have never been so surprised watching pretty much anything, the moment it happened I was RIVETED. And also so firmly on my anger muffin's side because bro fr?? You put in all that effort just to squander it? You deserve to be hit again (and hit again he was :D). Whooo I feel exhilarated, it's wild. I will sob and mourn this series like my nonexistent first born child if it goes downhill from here because this is absolutely the gold standard for how to start a sequel, holy shit.

Aaaand, I'm done. This was a masterpiece, good from beginning to end. No time was wasted, even though I have some gripes with the side couples. The music was phenomenal, the ACTING jfc, I'm not recovering from the first few episodes anytime soon. Conflicts were handled understandably quickly considering its a six episode series. Speaking of the length, I really don't know if I want this to be longer. It deserves more time-- it deserves all the time-- but it utilized what it had very well and added absolutely no unnecessary bullshit, which I appreciate more than having a lot of episodes.

The side couple (specifically the mental illness bros one) irked me a bit because I liked their story and how it was handled (mostly), but I also never felt invested in it. I liked both characters as well, but with only 3 hours to see Anger Muffin and Shi De, I was almost counting each second their story took from the main couple. I didn't need their story, even if I liked it, so it was irksome.

All that said, this has my heart. I liked this more than the prequel, and I really, really liked the prequel. Shi De's acting in episodes one and two really cannot be overstated-- any compliment would be too little. Same for Shu Yi honestly. This is worth a watch, an immediate rewatch, and then several more rewatches without a ton of time in between, which I say as a human who doesn't rewatch things ever, really.

Ok bye, I'm gonna go rewatch the first two eps. Maybe the third too.
