Better Than Season One
As an original watcher of Idol Producer while it was airing in 2018, I had to see Youth With You season 2 as well. I really liked this season a lot more than the first season of Youth With You for several reasons:
1. There were" iconic" moments in the show like Esther Yu's "wow" and when Snow Kong's shoe came off when they did their group dance. I feel like this is especially important as it makes the show come off as more memorable.
2. There was no drama.
3. Although there is not enough screentime for every single one of the 109 trainees, they try their best in that aspect and ultimately do show somewhat fair amounts of screentime. Although maybe not as good as Idol Producer, their original Produce name.
4. All the debuted trainees are extremely talented and some of them would do especially well in variety shows because they are entertaining. This series is the ONLY survival show series where whoever ends up debuting in the group, I am satisfied with because they are all deserving of the spot.
5. I really liked how they invited over some of the Nine Percent members to do collaboration stages with the trainees. They're still so charming and funny and brings back a feeling of nostalgia. Although it's sad that they could not bring back the whole group together, I was happy to see at least three other Nine Percent members other than Kun.
6. The theme song is really catchy like "Ei Ei," although it took about 2-3 listens for me to actually start vibing with it. It took me a bit then I realized it's the theme song they've been playing this entire time and it clicked with me.
7. The songs chosen this season for the stages are all pretty catchy as well. (How Am I So Good-Looking, Ambush On All Sides 2, A Little Bit Sweet, etc.)
Although some of these reasons could be said for Youth With You season one, I felt that season one was more bland. Compared to the first season, the second season had trainees with very contrasting personalities that were able to mix well with each other and create more interesting interactions. I'm giving a lot of credit to all the girls in this season as they were able to make me stick with wanting to watch them till the end as did Idol Producer did to me.
A flaw that I found really disappointing since it could have been fixed is iQiyi translated the whole series and uploaded it on their website; however, the order of the episodes aren't in chronological order and you have to press around due to the order of the parts. Another flaw is that the editing for this season may be kind of awkward. They jump around here and there and it's sort of confusing. There were some scenes that should have probably been shown first rather than later, which can be shown through the ranking evaluations. The first evaluation felt like it took forever to take place. After the first evaluation, the second one occurred in a timely manner, but the third one came way too quickly and it left me wondering "didn't the second evaluation just occur?" What they should have done was put in the collaboration performance behind the scenes and stage first and then did the third evaluation. Speaking of the collaboration stages, the collaboration stages were very disappointing as Ella and Lisa were not even there to actually perform. They did their best in this aspect, but it still doesn't change the fact that it really sucks that the only two girl mentors were not able to perform with the girls. I wish they had a female rap mentor, rather than Jony J, no offense to him, but because it felt like he could not really relate to the girls as much as I would have liked him to.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and I'm very excited to see what "The Nine" will do next. I hope they don't do the same as they did with Nine Percent and UNINE, where iQiyi literally did not give them much to do together at all, but inevitably, I feel the girls will end up the same as the other two debuted groups. Nevertheless, this show is amazing at giving all the girls the exposure that they need without the extra drama and negative attention like Mnet's Produce series.
