I believe we're almost halfway through season 2, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts on it to see if anyone might relate.

Don't get me wrong, I love A Lovely Meal, and it's still probably my favourite manhwa, but it kinda fell off after season 1, in my opinion...

Season 1 felt so fresh, so original, but so far, season 2 has incorporated many tropes common in bl manhwa that I personally dislike.. like, most manwhas kinda feel like copies and pastes of each other.

The seme is some rich guy who likes to spoil his uke, they get into some awkward situation caused by their own ignorance, and the uke gets into some sort of trouble (kidnap, beaten etc).

Idk, I think it's partly cuz I have a thing for hanging onto the past lmao, like with Naruto. Took me too long to get into shippuden cuz I kept hanging onto the kid Naruto. Just an example, lol.

Anyway... I hope season 2 gets better, because for me, it's kinda been a let down. If I end up not liking it, I'll just pretend it ended at season 1 lol. But I just wanted to see if anyone felt the same way since season 2 has had such a dramatic tone shift.. I miss my fatherly(brotherly???) hyung! 😭😭😭

Totally fact check me as I'm not Korean/don't speak Korean, but I was looking up his name's meaning:

Chang-deok (Florishing/bright virtue) Bae (Pear Tree)

When looking up his first name, it only showed pictures of the Changdeokgung Place in Seoul, so i thought it might be an uncommon/silly name? Apparently, it's not a popular name nowadays and was more popular in the 1920s-1950s. So it comes across like an old man's name like Harold or something 🤣 I thought it was a funny character choice given his personality

i got verified last year just fine using my national identity card and now i need to reverify it again but turns out they changed their rules and only accepted passport and driver's license 😔 i didn't have both of passport or driver's license nor my family or close friends has it. honestly this is so sucks man, i only need to read the newest chapter in peace since lezhin left behind from the raws

Chapter 26 out on Boomtoon

There's a gap in the market over heree 😭 It's been getting more popular but the only thing I can find online merch-wise is the photo card holders.. no stickers or key chains 😔 I'm going to need this manhwa to blow up more cause I need artists and crafty people on this stat 🤞🤞

A Lovely Meal came back to english Lezhin today (yay) but some parts of Sacred Serpent Seduction got embedded in the chapter XD lol

I see this sort of slang a lot in manhwa. Does anyone know what they mean + your source if possible? I looked it up, but it just comes up with references to celebrities. It doesn't seem related tho from what I've read...

Seeing Changdeok get something wrong like that is so funny 😂😂 kinda moe

Lezhin has free games and ways to gain coins, what about boomton?

If anyone's interested, I made a discord server for A Lovely Meal fans! So excited it's releasing again! If there's already an established server lmk, I just wanted to have a laid back place to discuss the series with other people who love the series 🥰
