Badly in Love Season 2 (ラヴ上等 シーズン2) is finally available on international Netflix!

Netflix has English/etc. subtitles for Badly in Love Badly in Love Season 2 (ラヴ上等 シーズン2): https://www.netflix.com/title/81769466

---

Synopsis (from Netflix Asia):

The baddest romance reality show ever returns — faster than you expected. Outcasts who have lived on the fringes of society, unbound by etiquette or rules, come together in pursuit of love.

Season 2 is set in a new school overlooking the blue sea of Okinawa and welcomes a lineup of new participants gathered through the audition across Japan, all of whom bring further drama and encounters to the table. They experience not just romance, but also regret, atonement, lifelong bonds and the readiness to face the future. These delinquents search for love and, through it, a fresh start in life.

The contestants’ commitment to their identities, despite being labeled as nonconformists by society, is breaking new ground for the reality genre.

The redemption/etc. with everything, and yup, hopefully there'll be something like Terrace House back in a tropical/etc. setting again. Especially now that Netflix/etc. is focusing on Korean and Japanese dating shows (still waiting for them to get something like Heart Signal China Season 9, Twinkle Love Season 5/Twinkle Love in Winter, et cetera).

I apologize for being delayed by a bit over 24 hours, the usual Korean/etc. uploaders didn't release Kill It E12 yesterday, so I had to wait for the other non-Korean/etc. uploaders with their own releases.

But ya fam, back in Kill It E01 I never would have predicted the ending with E12, pretty cool, and I like how the theme/etc. is like the marriage/etc. of fashion, social media, and so on.

Kill It was pretty nice, I know some of us were hoping it'd be akin or something closer to say Goganzi or High School Style Icon (고등학생 간지대회) or other similar shows, cuz I remember watching that over 7 years ago now (back in the summer of 2019) as the episodes released (on Youtube/etc.) back then and I was wishing they'd do a bigger budget version of Goganzi, and so this kinda at least compensates/fits/etc. with that fashion-related survival scenario.

I'm really hoping that Tiara Torelli or someone like her will be a finalist for a possible future successor/etc. of this program, it's gonna be interesting to see the colorful combos.

^(Oh and I almost forgot to mention this 24/etc. hours ago, but Match to Marry: With Parents China Season 1 [there'll apparently be a Chinese version of Pet Me Pick Me Korea [펫미픽미] and other such [Korean] shows as well soon] or it's called The Love Duet [心动双重奏] is out tomorrow [30 minutes from now] or July 29, 2026 with the pilot episode, and the schedule is every Thursdays or so [starting with July 30 with the actual episodes]. It's got a decent intro/et cetera, it says: Take me to the moon where we both fell in love. My mind's awake, I feel so alive. Lol, so relatable.)

^(I see one [female] visual and there seems to be only 8 housemates [and their accompanying mothers] in this new Chinese version, meanwhile MtM: WP Korea Season 2 right now [Episode 6 is this Thursday or in 2 days too!] has the best overall visuals ensemble/balance/et cetera [with the female housemates, though the male housemates not so much [the male housemates are the best visuals in Noona Is A Woman To Me/Mind the Noona Gap/etc. Season 2 [누난 내게 여자야2] and Episode 10 or the finale for that noona romance is tomorrow too, and like these timings be real intriguing, cuz it's all before Heart Signal China Season 9 [心动的信号 第九季] in several weeks or so from now] despite their specs [education, money, properties, businesses, etc.] being decent enough as well, lol] of 2026 [so far] or all CJK/etc. dating shows, and so it's interesting to see that.)

---

^(Don't forget fam, there'll be Better Late Than Single China Season 1 sometime in the near future, and then same with a new addition to the motae solo [모태솔로] seasons of I Am Solo [S12, S19, and IAS, LF SG S3 [starts with Episode 37 overall] has an S12 redo with Youngsoo, Youngsik, and Youngchul], etc.)

^(Like next Wednesday/week is I Am Solo Season 33 Episode 1 or Episode 265 overall, there's bound to be some motae solo-esque folks there too. And same with the new start of I Am Solo, Love Forever Solo Guesthouse Season 16 Episode 1 or Episode 177 overall [if they don't do the updates/etc. episodes on the former housemates' post-show lives as it's been a while since the last non-IAS, LF SG episodes due to the constant/back-to-back IAS, LF SG seasons].)

^(Hopefully there'll be a proper successor to SO in LOve [没谈过恋爱的我] and also the second season of Dating Boarding School: Divorced Singles And Motae Solos/Divorcees N Rookies/Romance School: First & Again/DolsingNMosol/etc. [연애기숙학교 돌싱N모솔] soon.)

Osaka Ojo Kyoka from World of Street Woman Fighter! Speaking of which, hopefully Tiara Torelli will be in a future season/spiritual successor.

Muahahaha, Choi Mina Sue yelling with her lungs.

I can't believe they have to do their own videos/etc. for the next mission.

Since there's already the PUBG/Battlegrounds/etc. connection here in BLTS S2, imagine if in a different season or other motae solo show there's someone from inZOI (it's like The Sims/Paralives/etc.), or imagine later on with DokeV (Pearl Abyss) since Crimson Desert is finally released now.

Reminds me, when Henri/Hepsima/何逐日 starts living in Beijing for Beida/Peking University about a month or so from now, if I was him I'd be looking for a huang taihou (皇太后) like Tao Xinran (陶昕然) from Key to the Phoenix Heart (雀骨), that'd be interesting historical tie-in to everything with the language learning journey.

I really wanted Jo Yoosik from EXchange/Transit Love Season 4 (환승연애4) to partner up with Choi Mina Sue, lol, that would've been a cool crossover moment for Korean/etc. dating shows. And I've always liked modern dance/etc. as a kid (for elementary school they had us occasionally visit the ballet/etc. schools downtown in order to inspire the next generation of people in the arts world), so it's cool that many CJK/etc. dating shows housemates are from that field these days.

And ya the ending of the episodes of these survival shows always gets me crying too cuz of like the investment with the journeys, the contestants' bond inside the programs rarely last outside of the hypercompetitive environment and time dilation or accelerated perception of time inside the show, so it's even more melancholic, the momentary friendships/camaraderie/siblinghood/etc.

^(Whenever I finish resyncing/retiming/etc. the English subtitles [cuz sometimes the original uploaders/resyncers/etc. didn't realize that the subtitles are out of sync, or if it's not actually included in the best/better video quality version of the show, etc.] for these older Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc. dating shows, it's legit so beautiful cuz of the nostalgia, marvelously vivid, the memories/events/etc. surrounding the shows/everything.)

^(Hopefully the Chinese/etc. version [from prolly next year] of Better Late Than Single will innovate/etc. on the motae solo concept, like Dating Boarding School: Divorced Singles And Motae Solos/Divorcees N Rookies/Romance School: First & Again/etc. [연애기숙학교 돌싱N모솔] from a month or so ago.)

Bwahahaha, Choi Mina Sue's interactions with everyone, she got the eyeglasses/frames/spectacles/etc. here too.

And that preview of next episode with Jo Yoosik (and WOODZ's iconic 해가 될까 soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8afu0q56RHY) from EXchange/Transit Love Season 4 (환승연애4), it's a whole Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc. dating show scenario all over again, muahahaha.
