i think it's too early to compare IY1 and IY2.. i watched IY1 only because of hara.. the only episodes i skipped are those without her on the show.. i tried watching it, but i just can't finish the whole episode.. it's so boring for me without her.. as for season 2, so far so good for jing.. she did well in the first episode.. and she dominated the 2nd episode.. i hope she continue like that.. nicole went to yuchi-ri during IY1 and so did jing when they are harvesting.. it will be great if anyone of her unnies can visit jing this time.. if they can all visit, then it will be great.. but i'm afraid, if five of them will be together, knowing their variety show skills, they will turn IY2 into their own show.. lol as for season 3, again, it's too early.. let's enjoy watching jing first on season 2
