Dragon Day, You're Dead: Season 2 (2018)

At least, it stopped being a Boys Over Flowers/Meteor Garden remake

I was glad to see that the sequel veered away from the BOF/MG and became its own story. However, Season 2 was mostly about a family squabble/competition between the stepbrother and ML. Stepbrother turns out to be a Long by blood after all (too bad he didn't know that before he had to give up Yoona - not that I liked Yoona - but what a raw deal!) and challenges ML's right to succession. During this competition, ML begins to mature (although I think he returns to immaturity in Season 3 and has to start the process over again).

We're also introduced to a new b***** who successfully convinces FL to play the noble idiot role and dump ML so she can have him because 'they're a perfect match' - apparently, because both are a couple of rich, entitled jerks. She looks about 10 years older than him so it can't be because they share common experiences like someone his own age. In exchange for dumping him, the rich b**** will use her family power to back ML over half-brother (aka stepbrother). Fortunately, the artist friend/love rival from last Season deliberately lets the cat out of the bag to ML, and ML puts a kybosh to the plan. For once, his obsession with FL actually saves the day - he ain't marry nobody but FL - and the rich b**** is actually sane enough to give him up. Must be because of those advanced years.

Finally, I regret to say we also meet a new character called Yangyang, and boy, is this girl annoying. Sorry but I really, really hate her hair - the color looks like a bad dye job, ok? She's supposedly the sister of both of these dudes, but apparently not, because she confesses to the stepbrother who's now the half-brother in later episodes. He rejects her. Thank God! Please, please don't put our cute boy -next-door Wei Zhemeng with this dingbat in Season 3. I'd rather him be with that sugary-sweet Yoona or better yet remain single. None of these chicks are worthy of him.

Well, that's the highlights.
