It's Okay To Be Sensitive 2 (2019)

Just like with season 1 (and like all stories that cover topics like these), there are storylines and characters that will infuriate you, characters who will make you want to reach through the screen and throttle them, and that feeling demonstrates just how good a job this drama does at bringing light to these issues.

This series continues to utilize it's format as a web drama very well, with excellent pacing and well put together episodes that manage to discuss and deal with difficult topics in a short period of time without leaving the viewer feeling wanting. It also manages to handle the complexities of the issues in a way that emphasizes how frustrating they can be while still putting forward a positive message.

This season dealt with issues in the workplace, a good continuation from the first season, and also managed to capture the difficult nuances of workplace harassment, the complicated nature of reporting problems, and the very real issue that is the lack of support and belief in the workplace. It also demonstrated the importance of women supporting women, particularly female mentors and superiors, and the role of male peers supporting women. One message I especially liked was that you do not have to forgive someone who harasses you, especially someone who doesn't actually apologize.

"Let's try our best and become happy together."

this was just as great as the 1st season, Section Chief Hong was the queen, it's so rare to have supportive female seniors in dramas. also, behind every "guy saves the day" was a woman ;)
this series should be a manual for companies. for one most of them don't even know what they are doing "wrong", and basically, they are way obsessed with the "norms" that even a man wearing pink and baking is not "manly", a woman that stands up for herself and says no becomes "noisy" and "unappreciative".
also, the whole "sunbae" lineage thing needs to chill. this doesn't justify them, but even a man speaking against the mistreatment becomes outcasted, and so basically they are forcing the younger generation to keep quite to gain the sunbae's approval. I really didn't like Sangwook, but the change in him just proves, change is easy.
they really need to make laws and talk about these issues.

my rewatch values are a 1 or a 10, and I'd prefer a 3rd season instead of a rewatch ;p
