Synopsis

The second season of White Album, also known as episodes 14-26.

Audience Consensus

Audience sentiment is mixed. While some appreciate the deeper exploration of characters and the unique 80s setting, many are turned off by the protagonist's flaws and the slow pacing. The ending is a point of contention, with some finding it conclusive and others feeling it was rushed or unearned. Despite improvements over the first season, the show remains divisive.

Strengths

  • Improved character development compared to season 1, with deeper exploration of secondary characters.
  • The setting in the 1980s is unique and well-integrated into the storyline, enhancing the social dynamics and communication challenges.
  • Soundtrack and music, especially the idol songs, are highly praised.

Weaknesses

  • Protagonist Touya is widely considered unlikeable, indecisive, and prone to making poor decisions, making it difficult to sympathize with him.
  • Slow pacing and convoluted plot can make the series feel dragged out.
  • Ending is divisive, with some finding it rushed or unsatisfying, and a 'twist' that feels out of place.
