Has Forget You Not been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Forget You Not is the latest Taiwanese drama on Netflix, with an energetic cast and a simple but bittersweet premise. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! What is Forget You Not about? Forget You Not centers on married woman Le-le who juggles her stand-up comedy gig, a convenience store job, marital problems with husband Kai, and a tense relationship with her father, Kuang-chi. An inspiring journey then ensues, which redefines her familial bonds. We have extended coverage of Forget You Not on the site, including recaps of every episode HERE! Has Forget You Not been renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Forget You Not has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Forget You Not has had a very good reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series has potential no doubt, but the story is basically done and the ending is conclusive enough to just end things here. We also know completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers and this feels like one of those shows that people will dive into and become hooked once they've watched a few episodes. However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about Forget You Not season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem very unlikely. However, if this did get a rare renewal though, we'd likely get another 8 episode season if this one is renewed. Furthermore, the story's tone and style will likely remain very similar to what we've been graced with in season 1, and a return of cast and crew. We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future. Would you like to see Forget You Not return for a second season?

Forget You Not – Season 1 Episode 5 Recap & Review
No Other Choice Episode 5 of Forget You Not starts with Chia-yun out with her kids at the shops. She does her best to look after them both, but parenthood is not easy. This may seem like a random scene but it actually plays into Le-le's current hardships beautifully. Speaking of which, Le-le continues to do her comedy routines and discusses her menopause. She links it to her father's Alzheimer's, which is now starting to deteriorate quite quickly. He's forgetting simple items, he's phoning the police claiming break-ins over misplaced items, and his mood swings are becoming more prominent too. Despite all that, Kuang-chi is still the same joker he was before and deflects his symptoms at the doctor's, throwing them over to Le-le instead. With her dad out the room, the doctor plainly tells Le-le that Kuang-chi is getting older and to help with his symptoms, she should probably spend more time with him. However, this is now starting to get serious and the prospect of moving him across to a care home or at last getting hired help hits her like a ton of bricks. Between looking after her dad and Le-le's stand-up comedy (which is doing well given there's an opportunity for her to be at a sell-out crowd), there's a lot going on with her. Funnily enough, the one person who understands what she's going through is Chia-yun. She likens looking after kids as the same gig as looking after the elderly, and the pair riff over their current ordeals. Le-le soon finds out that her dad's Will was overseen by none other than Chang Kai. She rings him and tries to find out what's inside but he refuses to divulge the details given client confidentiality. Interestingly though, Kai is currently back in Taipei and offers to come see her. The pair talk about their past, including regrets over current choices. Kai admits that he was lonely in Singapore and seems to regret his choice in letting his wife go in the manner that they cut ties. Speaking of wistful regret, Kuang-chi heads to the bike shop where he sees that the owner is starting to suffer from dementia and his old cycling buddy has passed away too. It really hammers home the futility of life. On the bus ride home, Kuang-chi accidentally falls asleep and ends up missing his stop, ending up at the terminal. He's a long way from his Apartment Complex and late at night, with no money and nowhere else to go, he's forced to hike it back alone. Kuang-chi's back is still hurting from earlier though when he pulled a muscle at the hospital. He's not healing as fast as he once was, and according to Le-le, he's also not taking his meds either. Le-le is there waiting when he heads back home, bringing this very fact up, and she nags him over the state of his apartment too. As they talk, Le-le opens the Will and finds out that it's just a list of things Kuang-chi wants to do before he passes. He challenges the notion of the Will and as Le-le reads down the list, along with memorial photos and eating steak, he's also listed viewing one of her shows. Le-le though scoffs at this, pointing out that he's a distraction she doesn't need. Instead of leaving like she usually does at night, Le-le decides to stick around and help with some of the housework before she goes. Kuang-chi falls asleep on the sofa and Le-le eventually sneaks out, but it's at least a start to trying to repair what they once had. Le-le has now realized that she doesn't have much time with her dad left, especially as she works out the math over only seeing him as she has done for a few months at a time. Unfortunately, Kuang-chi's condition is definitely starting to deteriorate and she may not have as much time as she once did. The Episode Review Kuang-chi's condition has hit Le-le like a ton of bricks, having snuck up on her despite the doctor informing that this could happen. She realizes she's got precious little time with her father, who's now starting to rapidly descend with his dementia. It's really sad to see this and the ties these two have had over time have been broken and need to be mended before it's too late. Le-le's stands-up sets are now starting to include her father too, which helps her to work through these issues, and it sets up a very dramatic and emotional ending to this season to come.
