His Personality:
Soryu is still the same adorable, awkward guy he is when in love with you. He showers you with love and sweet, kind words that melts your heart. He's still expressive of his love and need for you and blushes easily whenever you say something sweet to him 😊.
You recognize there is two sides of Soryu, the side where he's strict and cold towards his followers 😠 (especially Inui) and the side where he's incredibly sweet with you 😘.

Because of his line of work, he's not always available to be attentive to your feelings but he is conscious whenever you have something troubling you. He doesn't beat around the bush and get you to talk to him when you're struggling to get things off your chest.
While Soryu is open to you about the Ice Dragons, he still doesn't let you get too involved with their business and he makes it clear from the get go. He doesn't mean anything by it because he wants to protect you by separating you from his world. He doesn't want you involved because the head of Ice Dragons, Ryuun, is ruthless and cruel 😈 towards his followers.
He struggles with protecting you and the Ice Dragons from Ryuun without disobeying the Bos because of the mafia code 😣. No matter how much he hates the way Ryuun does things, he can't disobey him because loyalty is very important in the mafia world.

Overall Opinion:
This season is not only a further development in Soryu's relationship with the MC but a step forward in Soryu's career. The plotting had a really nice flow focusing on Soryu's struggle with following orders that goes against his values and the MC's struggle to fit in with the Ice Dragons and desire to help him.
I really liked how open Soryu is about his affections for the MC 😍. I squeal every time he's honest about his desires to be with her 😋. He's not one to mix business with pleasure so he's only sweet and passionate when they are alone.
~ How can you not fall in love with him 😍.

I had the same reaction the MC had believing she'll be living with Soryu alone (just like in the other guys route) but we were horribly wrong 😂. She finds out they won't be living together alone but with the rest of the Ice Dragon members. So you can guess they couldn't have as much privacy then the other guy's route 😅.
Right off the bat, you see the MC having trouble fitting in with the Ice Dragon, initially saying things like "because I'm not one of them". She envies Soryu's relationship with the Ice Dragons and still struggles with feeling the need to be useful to him. ~ And it doesn't help when he tells her not to get involved 😞.
The MC struggles with communicating her feelings to him because she's doesn't feel like it's her place to speak because she thinks she's not a part of them. It wasn't until she got a friendly advice from someone (the head boss of the local mob) to just speak what's on her mind. With that advice and a push from Soryu, she finally tells him what's bothering her.
I love how Soryu makes the MC feel loved and needed by telling her that she IS a part of the Ice Dragons. She just didn't realize it. Of course, it's not in the normal conventional way of the mafia world but he tells her she's very much a part of them.
Soryu tells her there are only some things she can do like being sweet 😊 on the Ice Dragons while he's strict 😠 on them. I love the dynamic the writers are throwing here where Soryu is like the father of the Ice Dragons and the MC is the mother, and Samejima and Inui are their children 👪.
Baba explains the importance of loyalty in the mafia world is to obey all orders of the Boss without question. Or you'll most likely find yourself at the bottom of the ocean 🌊. Because she doesn't understand the ways of the mafia world, the MC struggled to follow Soryu's order to keep herself uninvolved. She sees that even though Soryu doesn't agree with the Ryuun's decisions, he can't go against him because of loyalty to the Boss.
I love how much the MC grew in this story, she went from keeping to herself to speaking her mind. When Soryu is struggling with Ryuun, she opens his eyes to see what's really important than blindly stay loyal to a Boss who doesn't care about his subordinates 😤. As seen in the previous season, Soryu earns his member's loyalty through trust and because he actually treats them as family.
I really enjoyed his story because we got to see the development of their relationship and Soryu stepping up from his position in the Ice Dragon. What else I love here is how Soryu values the MC's opinion and treats her with equality. Something you rarely see in the other guys route.
Another thing I love is the way the MC works her charm on others even if she doesn't know she's using them 😝. Her charm and determination is what makes all the Ice Dragons warm up to her 😊.
Even the auction managers see that 😂.
I loved how the story wrapped up with Soryu getting the position he deserved and earned through trust. I'm happy for him 😄 because he's half-way through his accomplishing his dream with the help from the MC. While the ending wrapped up nicely, I did wanted to see the members from the Hong Kong branch accepting her and see Soryu become the new Boss then and there rather then Soryu relying what happened to her because it would have more impact if she was there to see his success. Other than that I really enjoyed his story.
If you enjoyed Soryu's first season and want to see more of Soryu the Sweet Boyfriend, then I totally recommend this one for you. You are going to love how sweet and passionate he is as he showers you with love. Happy playing!
Overall score: 8/10
