Wonderful character growth for ML + great acting by main 3
I am so in love with season 1 of The Only Girl You Haven't Seen so of course I went to watch the sequel.What I liked:
1) He Lian Xuan's characterisation - Great character development, from a timid fifth prince to a wise and humble fighter who later awarded crown prince and eventually emperor.
2) Acting - Wow, I was impressed by outstanding performances by Wang Zu Yi, Wen Mo Yan and Hou Dong. Episodes 16 & 17 were the best episodes that captured their brilliant performances! It's amazing that both Wang Zu Yi and Wen Mo Yan's first drama was released in 2021. Despite being novice in the industry, their acting was top notch.
3) He Lian Chen's arc - This season had more focus on his arc and wow, what a compelling antagonist. I couldn't believe the actions he made but then again he was greedy for power. I did pity him towards the end - kudos to writer for making me invested in this character.
4) The romance - I love that they continued to grow as a couple even when each of them had individual pursuits. I love how much they respect their other half's wishes and do their best to understand and be supportive. Episode 17 is the most romantic episode of all as it has moments of playfulness, honesty, desire and heartbreak. Wang Zu Yi and Wen Mo Yan seemed to have tacit understanding and connection with each other that translated well on screen.
5) Leng Li's arc - It's great that this is fully explained to viewers and shared with He Lian Xuan.
What I disliked:p1) The audio - It's frustrating that the audio on YoYo Youtube channel was on & off. This issue made me paused the series for a week and affected my enjoyment.

This review is for seasons 1 and 2 together.
This review is for seasons 1 and 2. Both seasons are fantastic. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has a splendid relationship that develops into a beautiful, steadfast, and heartwarming romance with very good chemistry. It is refreshing to see He Lian Xuan (played by Wang Zu Yi) and Leng Li/A Qi (played by Wen Mo Yan), two very intelligent characters, as they get closer and stronger to become a devoted power couple. Since it is a miniseries divided into two seasons, it is best to see one right after the other to appreciate that, although the production is not perfect, the both seasons are well done in matters of production value. These miniseries have a substantial plot that could have been better served if turned into a long format drama. Overall, both seasons are worth watching and entertaining. Enjoy it!.

Inferiore alla prima serie
Pur rimanendo un'ottima serie, risulta un pochino inferiore alla prima. A un certo punto la trama se n'è andata un po' dappertutto, ci sono state situazioni piuttosto risibili e i cattivi, alcuni nemmeno tanto previsti, sono stati sconfitti troppo facilmente. La cosa peggiore però secondo me è stato che alla protagonista non hanno fatto un buon servizio. Mentre il protagonista maschile ha continuato ad amarla senza se e senza ma anche se lei gli aveva mentito, lei d'altro canto è stata fin troppo cattiva nei suoi confronti e l'ha abbandonato addirittura due volte di cui la seconda quando lui era già imperatore. Poco plausibile che dopo qualche tempo lui se la sia ripresa e nessuno abbia detto niente: stiamo parlando di un imperatrice che deve essere al di sopra di ogni sospetto agli occhi della corte e del popolo.Ad ogni modo una serie molto gradevole per il tipo di dramma che è, ben realizzata tutto sommato, con un lavoro di cinepresa certamente non sciatto, dei buoni costumi e un commento musicale abbastanza sul pezzo. Mi è piaciuta molto l'interpretazione della coppia protagonista e soprattutto quella del terzo Principe. Sicuramente non è stato tempo perso e se mai faranno una terza serie la guarderò di sicuro.
