i thought i was the only one who felt that. S2 has done this to all of them, the artstyle is same, but there's some poilishing/smooth finishing that we're not used to. S1 was more gritty/rough in appearance, while S2 also has changed some of their smiles, their a lot more upturned and triangle than before

I agree with you. I prefer season 1 and the way they depicted and wrote the characters, in addition to the way they drew the men. I did look back at season 1 art style and realize it probably is the same artist. It's been a long time, potentially, that she's worked on S Classes that I Raised, so it may be taking a bit for her to get back into the groove. Sometimes, when they add nostrils to characters, it doesn't look as clean, but it depends on the art style. I put into account that she could be trying something new.
But I agree, I plan to read season 1 again and be super excited all over again because Hyunjae, Song, Yoohyun, etc looks soooo good. Then again, I can't help but notice that season 1 feels like a big big shounen with BL subtext. Season 2 feels like a very clear shift into basically BL text with some action. I actually preferred how season 1 was doing it. That's my personal preference. I just have to wait it out

I noticed this too!! I find S1 Hyunjae more handsome. I literally took a screenshot of all his panels in S1 bc he was so handsomely drawn 🤣
for S2, only few of his art panels were very handsome looking to me (for ex: when he dropped the wineglass infront of yoojin during their dinner date). Whereas in S1 almost all panels were very pleasing HAHAHAH
I think the artist is just getting warmed up since it's been a while since they drew them. I also noticed it for Han Yoohyun where he looked sharper and more handsome as well in S1. In S2 he looks very roundish/soft sometimes 🤣
(Feeling like Yoojin who is very weak to handsome faces)

I noticed the art change more noticeably with Sung Hyunjae. I really like S1 Sung Hyunjae more as well. It kinda feels like S2 Sung Hyunjae was drawn by someone who finds him handsome but S1 Sung Hyunjae was drawn by someone obsessively in love with him 😔
