Season 1 finale was sweet, just as expected. Most of the story threads come to a satisfactory conclusion and there's ample space for the actors to show their astonishingly strong chops for K-TV. There's this thing about acting through that Korean stoicism, and only showing the emotions in the cracks. It can be overdone, but here it's just right.
Is there room for a season 2? Certainly. It was hugely successful in Korea and on Netflix. Plus there's a webtoon adaptation coming, as well as a musical remake, and a U.S. remake. Will I tune into any of that? Probably not. So much hinges on this cast and like La Casa de Papel (remade in Korean) and Midnight Diner (remade in Chinese), a remake just wouldn't satisfy.
