When I watched Sotus, it wasn't because it was a BL story but because I thought it was an inspiring story. It was a plus that I found their story realistic and beautiful. I also liked that I didn't keep rolling my eyes because of awkward acting.
It's the same for this second series. But instead of giggling, you get the more serious side of being in a same-sex relationship, how it's perceived in society, and how to deal with personal judgment. More tears will flow and they are good.
The actors really delivered well and deserved to be recognized for their roles after all these time.
