We're a fandom that practically survives on air and hope anyway, so let's hear deep down what tou think will happen in the future. Maybe someone here has the talent to be a psychic, 🤷‍♀️.

​

Anyway, my prediction isn't anything grand, in fact it's pretty basic. Since they've been back with Hybe for almost a year now and still nothing's happened, and have the audacity to blame Dani for it, I'm assuming they'll get the fromis9 treatment, but way more extreme. Zero group activities, no comebacks, and little to no individual projects, especially for Minji and Hanni.

​My darker theory is that is that HH and their parents are probably already being coaxed into signing an early contract renewal so the reunion in 2029 won't happen. Knowing how petty Hybe is, it's very possible. And if you ask if it's allowed, yup... some Hybe groups renew their contracts few years early, so it's not far-fetched.

TL;DR

​I realize that saying this in a community where everyone loves the series isn't the smartest thing to do, but since I enjoyed the first season so much, I’m a little bummed that I haven’t been able to connect with the sequel.

​The first part ended on such an open note that I was genuinely excited to dive into what came next. However, the more I read, the less interested I felt. I even tried spoiling myself for the later chapters, hoping it would give me the motivation to keep going, but it just didn’t click for me.

​The opening is a bit hard to follow with all the new characters being introduced. Overall, I personally think that the storyline of the sequel isn't something a lot of readers are really fond of. Even though it’s easy to guess the identity of the new protagonist, it still hasn't been enough to keep me hooked. I think for many of us, the heart of ORV was Dokja, so the "lack" of him makes it tough to appreciate the new direction.

​The pacing feels a bit slower, and the storylines feel a little more predictable and monotone than the first season. It feels like it’s lost the sense of suspense that I really loved.

​In short, I think I’ll personally view the original ending as my own conclusion to the story. The sequel just hasn't captured my attention or heart quite the same way the first series did. I WANT TO LOVE IT, BUT I JUST CAN'T...
