Your Highness 2 (2025)

Hilarious! So much fun to watch!

Oh boy, the crew are back and already it has been great! I am 5 episodes in so far but I am already hooked. The first episode wastes no time in getting you acquainted with the main set up and the main characters, allowing you to watch them all get up to ridiculous activities and saying truly hilarious nonsense that it was masterful. The puns and really hokey olden day equivalent of modern day conveniences is always great to see and hear! This season has removed the whole Prince angle, and instead has Kalok Chow and JW become cops and immediately forced to go undercover by Raymond Cho. It all happens so quickly in episode 1 but I somehow found the pacing easy to follow.

The show so far is missing Hugo Ng and Jonathan Cheung, and from all the promo events I have watched, there is a good chance they won’t be appearing later either. This is a shame as I loved Jonathan in the first season being this really stupid moron who often spouts stupid stuff out of his mouth, such as the classic 衫長褲短. Instead, it seems Jonathan has been replaced by Hugo Wong.

Hugo Wong was a great surprise for me as I wasn’t expecting much from his performance, but he was hilarious to watch as this really dumb and clumsy Captain Jack Sparrow wannabe villain. The first episode with him fumbling an explosive because it was too hot convinced me that he was a good step-in for Jonathan this season.

I can’t wait to see what the other episodes bring. Bring it on!

Completed:

I have watched the entire drama and I can say this is a masterclass of M. Night Shyamalan plot twists. Man there are so many twists and turns that it had me going wtf? But the humor is still there and it is hilarious, but the weirdness did get on my nerves a bit near the end.

There are two major plot devices driving everything in the drama: the love forgetting wine that causes anyone to drink it to to forget their love and it’s extra amnesiac effects are random per person, and the forget-me-not medicine, which we find out later is created from specific bird droppings. Yes, a medicine that comes out of a bird’s anus. This medicine has heal all sorts of maladies, including the amnesiac powers of the love forgetting wine. Everything that happens is a result of those two things, and the ending was extra stupid because of this as well.

Hugo Wong had a really epic ending as he made the ultimate sacrifice at the end, but even though it was supposed to be a serious scene, he managed to make me laugh by saying to his daughter “remember to stop losing weight!” As his last words to her. He had such a tragic back story as well that I wanted him to survive. Watch the drama to see what I mean.

The most annoying character is by far the one played by Helen Ma. She was annoying from beginning to end as this really angry old woman looking for daughter, and even in a flashback we see in her youth she was still a hateful bitch. She just rubbed me the wrong way in this drama, so props to Helen Ma for pulling it off.

I won’t spoil the plot twists because it is part of the fun and you should watch it to know more the first season is by far better than this one, but this season was still fun to watch and hilariously funny at times. Worth watching!
