I was so sad when I heard the original cast wouldn’t be in the 2nd season. But instead of starting a new similar story connected to the 1st season like maybe the next class, they basically made it season 1 but with same plot, story, characters (names) with different actors which confused me (I haven’t read the books yet btw). BUT the acting in Season 2 was very Good acting, emotional I felt their pain but i can’t get over the fact it’s the same story and characters. Also these guys did have as good chemistry but I think I just prefer the first season. But it you really wanna watch it give it a try cuz it’s not bad. There’s some cute moments in it.
