A season 2 is a must. This is by far the best jdrama i have watched.
Yes, I definitely would like to see a season two to this movie. I have been watching mainly Korean movies and this is the first Japanese Seriesthat I really was excited to watch and I am American.
Une saison 2 semblerait logique. L’épisode 8 ne ressemble en rien à un épisode final. Une suite s’impose, la fin reste trop floue. Comme si on s’attendait à un autre épisode.
Oui à une saison deux. Les deux acteurs japonais sont fantastiques.
Part 2 please as the 2 lovers did not have time to know each other very well, we would like to see a happy ending between them, both of them needs healing, it can be said to give them at least 1 or 2 years apart then Miu can also go to Nee York for her own art Exibition, being there they cross path again, both of them are in a better place mentally, but the spark is still there, they will have more time to talk and spend quality time together getting to know each other better with some twist of course, make it a bit spicy and intriguing but as long as at the end they stay together and help each other in their Art to grow, love, understanding, partnership and good communication, patience and being a good listener, maybe all of the students will have the opportunity to go to New York to showcase their work, they will all meet again and talk about what they have been doing. It will be very nice if Netflix and the other one gives it another chance for season 2, 😊 thank you, this is my though, we need some good endings.
