Lost You Forever Season 2

As Good as Season 1

When this drama started airing, I got upset watching all the deviations from the novel, as I read the novel after watching season 1. I ended up skipping most of them (majorly, like 70-80%).

5 months after the show ended, I picked it up again as there's no good drama at the moment (some started really strong but then turned weak in the middle). I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed watching season 2 once I'm not so attached to the novel's storyline anymore. The acting is still amazing. I tear up as much as from watching season 1 (maybe more!).

All of the sudden it makes sense why season 2 has to deviate from the novel: otherwise it wouldn't have time to jam pack all them.

Definitely will rewatch Lost You Forever saga again in the future.

INTELLECTUAL FEAST WITH MORAL POISON – PART 2/2

Due to the word limit I had to divide the review in two parts. Before reading the following, please get acquainted with Part 1 (published under Season 1).

LOVE AS A NON-LINEAR PROCESS
Many works treat love as fate, or a momentary decision of the heart or the mind, or a steady progress. Here we have a very complex process: turmoil, reversal, denial. An excruciating mixture of soul-searching & risk-calculation, filled with fear of the unknown, with doubt as predominant force.

The relationship between Xiao Yao & Tushan Jing starts with contemptuous indifference, as she throws a stone at him lying wounded in the bush & leaves (though a doctor, she evinces as little empathy as the snake demon would). She acknowledges his humanity only on noticing their similarity, when he reaches for a flower like she did once. She becomes aware of his masculinity when he is able to stand up. Later he would again be supine many times (wounded, unconscious, floating) but she would never cease to respect him as a man, her yearning would grow. Many times she regresses to stoicism or brutality, e.g. she steps on his piece of bread, calls him names, urges him not to follow her etc. Human body has no mysteries for her as a doctor, neither in terms of beauty nor ugliness; thus, for them the experience of gradually discovering each other physically is lost forever. As a compensation from the fate, Tushan Jing receives certainty of the woman’s acceptance of his appearance. Sadly & alarmingly, later her mirror contains “photos” only of Xiang Liu, not a single one of Tushan Jing. Their personalities differ, she is more productive & proactive, has a talent for archery (like Xiang Liu) rather than music. It is much later that they find a passion to share – the medicine encyclopaedia. However, they develop a feeling based on their perseverance to remain non-evil. It is the small gestures, the chores, the furtive smiles that build up with time as an unshakeable edifice of mature love.

The hesitation takes maximum momentum in the relationship between Xiao Yao & Xiang Liu. She is unwilling to own how difficult it is to extricate herself from this introvert’s attention. Apart from a humane wish to help a person in need, she discerns in his mute expression something that makes him worth more goodness than many non-evils. When she decides to free herself from the connecting bug, it is not just out of concern for her safety, but also to spare his integrity. Her desperate act of piercing him with an arrow, then missing the next hit, then deliberately cutting her veins for him thrice – all within one minute – show the state of utmost emotional disarray. Still, no love is possible between them because of the ‘formation’ inflicted to her heart & mind by years of torture.

HUMAN SHORTCOMINGS
Xiao Yao shows an astonishing level of blindness to feelings: with Cang Xuan almost fainting of desire next to her face, towards the end of the series, she still fails to notice & understand the nature & intensity of this feeling. All the love radiating silently from Xiang Liu’s body & face gets lost on her, too. Being healed in his shell, her detached spirit starts acting weirdly childish. It gets worse with the passage of years & her increasing boredom. The barking at the casino is one more example of infantile behaviour.

Cang Xuan fails to recognise his sister, which makes me doubt if he loves her & if he is perceptive enough to be a ruler of people. He also fails to deal with shortage of grains. Another issue is the young king’s susceptibility to intoxication. He takes drugs that would naturally impair his body, soul & intellect. He also keeps drinking before serious events, knowing he would act & speak irresponsibly. Please pay attention to the Grand King’s face, as he hears Cang Xuan’s drunken confessions: an expression of regret for having appointed such a weak man, lacking self-control, as his throne successor.

NEGLECT OF CONTACT
Xiao Yao is open-minded & expressive, longing for interactions & a steady relationship. Though a princess, she never excludes demons, foreign officials or veterans, other clans form being close to her & communicating with her. Surprisingly though, she would not visit her adoptive family till most of them die of age, never inquires about them, has no idea Ye Shi Qi pays them visits every couple of years. She lingers to go to Li Rong Ji, as well as to start a quest for her biological father. Unforgivably, she strengthens A Nian’s complex of inferiority in wit.

Cang Xuan was once a hostage & so was Chenrong Shin Yue. However, they do not get to share their experiences & remain married strangers.

Both cousins have a much too pompous attitude towards themselves & underline their martyrdom in speech, gestures & mimicry, including even an unjust blame towards their parents. Compared to them, Xiang Liu is notorious for concealing his feelings, suffering, merits, unwilling to use it in his rhetoric for any goal. This makes him more trustworthy. Yet also this gets him abandoned, killed & forgotten.

The king of Xiyan does not read crucial letters or reports prior to making a decision that affects future generations. Having spoken with Cang Xuan only few times, he makes him new king without delay. Later, as a retired king, he presents himself as a perfectly communicative individual, sharing wisdom abundantly.

The village storyteller takes great care to deliver accurate information, but as it is with old legends, much of it gets warped with time.

OBJECTIFICATION OF MEN
This omnipresent C-drama flaw is also here. The impressive number of suitors is a well-known tool to present the heroine as an exceptionally worthy individual. So is Tushan Jing’s attitude or the face-painting challenge.

QUALITY OF ACTING
The invaded sitting together with invaders, victims commiserating with harassers, love rivals helping each other, fated siblings consuming poisoned flowers in unison – the pace slows down to make us believe we also belong to the realm of deities with thousands of years at disposal. The conflicts between sentient beings are never wild. They are like negotiations.

Performance is proficient with no exceptions. The actors have even managed to soften the Freudian air to make their characters more lifelike & lovable, to mention Xiang Liu’s soft song as well. Praiseworthy are support roles too, such as the epic one-to-one battle between A Nian & Yu Jiang, or Li Rong Chang’s picturesque 'phew!'s.

This C-drama excels in conveying messages in a subtle way, e.g. when Chishui Feng Long visits Xiao Yao, he seems reluctant to leave the Go game, afraid to face her lest he gets rejected. Equally subtle is Grand King’s reaction: he stops playing, as if he wanted to encourage him to stand up & approach her.

Deng Wei seems to be taking deeply into consideration viewers’ feedback. Once he got reproached for outshining main actors & in the next drama we saw him modestly withdrawn. He got praised for that & in the next series (the present one) he moved even more to the shadow, for which he received the heaviest backlash. Then he would reappear in a 2025 drama “Love of the Divine Tree” and behold – he is a churning rocket furnace there, earning viewers’ applause.

In China, there is a culture of self-improvement & a demand to know one’s own place, to contribute to the society just the right amount & quality. Therefore we, non-Asians, must be extra cautious with evaluation. If it is not perfectly honest or precisely formulated, it may unnecessarily hurt & misguide.

Let me submit my evaluation of Deng Wei’s acting skills. It will be my first review entirely in Chinese. Here it goes: 好.

GLITCHES & FLAWS
As Cang Xuan admits metaphorically regarding his harem, he has brought too many flowers to the garden, but the one he needs is absent. Yet also literally, there are superfluous references to many flower species:
- flower of Ruomu, a tree on which the sun rests every evening, symbol of balance between heavenly order & human intervention, meant to be given by Cang Xuan to his future love,
- pointiana tree (mistaken for phoenix tree), symbolic of female royal power, present in all places where Cang Xuan expects his sister to root in,
- tree peony or Rejuvenating Flower on Xiao Yao’s forehead, corresponding to the one planted & given to her by Tushan Jing, stands for female beauty, love, wealth & status,
- plum vs mulberry wine, i.e. Tushan Jing & Cang Xuan competing for Xiao Yao’s favour,
- peach tree, planted by Chi Chen whenever he missed Xiling Heng, grows abundantly on Mount Jade,
- divine tree on Mount Dushuo, used in tea for realistic karma hallucinations,
- reef flowers opening at Xiang Liu’s touch,
- recurring proverbs about trees,
- Xiao Yao’s flower-eating habit – sweet memory of childhood, but also ability to make do in hard times before fruit is available.

Haoling supposedly did not participate in wars for ten thousand years, but in the same episode we learn that it joined the battle between Xiyang & Chenrong. The daughter of the king has never heard.

Xiao Yao is in excruciating pain after her husband has been killed, but Xiang Liu does not feel it in spite of the connecting bug.

The demon who imprisoned Xiao Yao in childhood was a face-changing children-devouring nine-tailed fox. I was actually expecting Tushan Jing to confess he were the one.

Some curtains & fabrics are machine-embroidered.

APPEAL
This drama should make us realise how important it is for the soul to keep the face intact. As usual, let me implore everyone who can turn the direction in which C-drama as a genre evolves to discourage unnecessary permanent or harmful interference in actor’s and actresses’ faces: plastic surgery, tweakments, toxic substances in make-up. Let the Western culture promote insincerity if it must, while the Eastern may serve as a refuge for authenticity-seekers.

Written by a nationless spirit confined in the decaying Mid-Europe.

EDIT 19.03.26. Tried singing the OST. High vixen howlability factor. Raised the grade to 9.5.

Lost You Forever Season 2: A Beautiful Yet Flawed Conclusion

I definitely have mixed feelings about the second season of Lost You Forever. It was emotional, angsty, and did not disappoint in terms of quality; however, everything just feels so brushed over. I understand that due to censorship, many things had to be changed, but I feel this is where LYF has lost its greatness. In the end, there was closure for most of the things we were wondering about in S1, but I feel like they didn't tie it off well enough, and they definitely could have added much more depth. Similar to S1, XY doesn't seem to know what she wants, and her actions are very questionable, with no logical reasoning. Ultimately, CX suffers the most, balancing between securing the kingdom and personal ambitions. In my opinion, TSJ was XY's worst option, as he was very selfish and, as CX said, a weak man. Both XL and CX made many personal sacrifices for XY's happiness and benefit, but TSJ was very static and unwilling to sacrifice himself for her benefit. Anyway, the OST was beautiful in S1, and it continues to be in S2 in a very reminiscent way. A-Nian had some insane character development, and I was rooting for her the whole time! Ru Shou was also one of my favourite characters. In the end, S2 wasn't bad, but it had a lot of missed potential. Most of the loose ends were tied, and LYF is definitely a memorable series.

Love, Destiny, and the Pain of Choice

“Lost You Forever Season 2” continues the heart wrenching and beautifully written journey that began in Season 1, diving even deeper into the tangled web of love, destiny, and power. The story picks up right where it left off, with Xiao Yao and the three men who love her each facing impossible choices between duty and desire.

Yang Zi once again delivers an extraordinary performance the emotional range she brings to Xiao Yao is breathtaking. She captures strength and vulnerability in perfect balance, portraying a woman torn between love and self-preservation. Her chemistry with all three male leads is undeniable each relationship feels raw, distinct, and heartbreakingly real.

Every character in this season gets their moment to shine. Tushan Jing remains gentle and devoted, his love pure but burdened by circumstance.

Together, they form a love polygon that’s emotionally gripping without ever feeling repetitive or forced.

Visually, the drama is a masterpiece, the cinematography, costumes, and music elevate every scene, enhancing both its grandeur and intimacy. The OST perfectly echoes the bittersweet tone of the story, amplifying its emotional depth.

In the end, Lost You Forever Season 2 is a powerful continuation that makes you cry, ache, and yet fall in love all over again. It’s not a perfect story, but it’s one that leaves a lasting mark on the heart.A tale of fated souls who love deeply yet are bound by destiny.

An emotionally rich continuation that captures the beauty and pain of love, anchored by phenomenal performances and poetic storytelling.

gorgeously atmospheric; an idol drama rewarded for taking itself seriously

experience was definitely impacted by the fact i watched s1 a year ago like truly i do not remember much of it other than the general story. consequently, this review is essentially only the second season lmfao.

first of all absolutely love the cinematography in this. gorgeous vibes. composition of every single shot is so beautiful and i need all other cdramas to plagarize rn. this is a drama that isn't afraid to take itself seriously and to me that pays off so much. no cheesy flashbacks every two seconds, little to none cringy slapstick comedy, mature characters and no tropey plotlines. to an extent it even feels like they almost (almost....) trust the audience to come to their own conclusions and not have everything hand fed to them.

main issue i had was the pacing and the allocation (?) of the plot. i remember having the same gripe about the first season, where the timeline is quite blurry bc of the many timeskips, so it's hard to get a grasp on things, especially when they don't explain things that happened DURING the timeskips well (or at all). the first half of the season dragssss (but the second half is insane, and i'm always a victim of recency bias). and i feel like they skipped out on so so many opportunities of character development.

this season is mainly cang xuan-focused which i'm not opposed to! he is such an interesting character and zhang wanyi is an absolutely extraordinary actor - the drunk confession scene and the whole illusion were stunningly well done. however i wish it didn't come at the cost of neglecting other characters? we hardly get to see the dynamic between tushan jing, fangfeng yiying, tushan tian, and even tushan hou. it's such a waste of a fascinating storyline - yes, they get their screentime later into the season, but it's after like 6 episodes of essentially nothing so it feels so jarring. conversely, it feels like a'nian has the opposite problem, where she gets great character development but then is forgotten after she marries cang xuan.

chenrong xinyue is also a character i would have loved to see more of. her character arc is so good on paper, but honestly felt quite shallow to me - 2/3 scenes of her getting ignored by cang xuan is what seems to drive her whole development. more on her childhood/upbringing with fenglong would have done wonders.

other things i would have liked to explore more: jing being a fox spirit, more nuance of jing + xiao yao's relationship that isn't just fluff (although i loved the fluff after jing died i felt like i was getitng info dumped on), cang xuan's harem. how the love gu worked between xiang liu and xiao yao bc it was so inconsistent lmao. more of fenglong and jing's relationship (jing's reaction to fenglong's death??). xiao yao's parents' relationship.

this is a lot of complaining for a 8/10 rating, you might think. you're right. other things i did like: the overarching theme of "burden of power / sacrifice for the greater good / selflessness vs selfishness". even though towards the end it felt like you were being bashed over the head with The Point, it's still explored in a very interesting way through each of the male leads. cang xuan, through his journey to gain power and finally be able to protect xiaoyao, ends up slowly, ironically, irreversibly, shattering the chances of him and xiaoyao being together in the way he wants. i can’t find the exact quote, but in the last few episodes, when asked to choose between the throne and xiaoyao, he says something along the lines of, “how can i give up the throne? xiaoyao helped me get here. giving it up would be throwing away our years of effort.” his burden of power is entirely self-inflicted, and he knows this, but he also knows it’s the price he has to pay for xiaoyao’s happiness.

tushan jing has the privilege of having the choice of giving up his power and status and does so a thousand times in a heartbeat. everything that cang xuan criticizes jing for is why xiaoyao falls for him again and again. they’re so similar, having gone through so much, but one emerges jaded and cynical, while one, against all odds, keeps being soft and kind and trusting. yes, it’s also his biggest weakness (it almost costs his life, again, lol) but ultimately i think this is the essence of jing’s character. i admit i have a very biased view of jing because he’s the exact type of character i love, but he’s still a refreshing change of pace to the cold fml archetype so common in dramas. throwing away his position of power for xiaoyao can be seen as selfless, but he’s absolutely unapologetically selfish when it comes to xiaoyao - it’s his only vice, and who can blame him?

and xiang liu! xiang liu!! is so heartbreakingly tragic of a character made up of what could have beens and maybe in a different universes. he’s almost the anti-tushan jing, where he has countless opportunities to abandon the ever-doomed chengrong troop but doesn’t. and i really love how he stands by this for the whole series, how he wavers and hesitates and gives himself fangfeng bei as his one chance at reprieve, but at the end of the day he had already accepted his fate long ago, and xiaoyao would have never been able to change that. and fangfeng bei!!!! every scene of fangfeng bei and xiaoyao is brimming with nostalgia for a life they’ll never live; it’s short lived but so impactful (that archery scene… RENT FREE). when i started watching the first season ten billion years ago, my guess at the ending was actually that xiaoyao would end up with xiang liu. cang xuan could never give xiaoyao the life she truly wanted, and xiaoyao and jing would realize that they had fundamentally changed too much since their days in qingshui town, and that they couldn’t be wen xiaoliu and ye shiqi anymore. ultimately though i’m glad that they didn’t end up together - they were doomed by the narrative, and it really would have been a disservice to xiaoyao’s character considering how xiang liu (not fangfeng bei) treated her overall.

i wrote (read: worddumped) the first half of this review immediately after i watched the last episode, but then forgot about it for like a month until now. scratches head. so im probably forgetting so many points i want to make but we’re just gonna wrap it up super fast here. despite her past criticism yang zi honestly has great performances in this and it is evident that she has improved since like. fucking. ashes of love (2018). the other standout is zhang wanyi like wow i was gagged by his scenes. this is a drama that i think is genuinely pretty solid (as opposed to my usual “it’s an acquired taste/you don’t watch this for the plot”) and worth a go. s1 and s2 watch very smoothly ie. it lowkey feels like production got screwed over by the 40ep limit so they cut it in half and that was it LOL. it’s slow at times and decently serious about the political plotlines but all the relationships feel like they develop quite naturally and satisfyingly, and there are some scenes that just make everything worth it (off the top of my head: xiaoyao/jing breakup in the snow, wedding after his death, tushan hou/jing/yiying duel; xiaoyao/cang xuan drunk confession, the whole illusion thing; xiaoyao/xiang liu/fangfeng bei “you’re not the type of person to appear in girl’s dreams” or whatever, gambling den, archery scene, xiang liu death

tldr: insane cinematography. solid, mature plotline, incredibly interesting characters with a lot of potential. needed better pacing/clearer timeline, and missed opportunities for deeper/more nuanced development. surprisingly solid acting performances. overall: 8/10

Acting > Story

Lost You Forever Szn 1 was pretty good so I was really excited when szn 2 FINALLY came out however was disappointed.

Story: not how I imagined and feel like it was really rushed. They definitely deleted many parts of it from the original storyline which caused it to not make sense and basically, ruin the show. Would be so much better if they added the scenes that were actually necessary instead of rushing it to get it aired.
Acting/Cast: everyone's acting was really good, so the acting part didn't disappoint.
Music: very enjoyable and I'm pretty sure it was the same songs from szn 1, which I liked a lot
Rewatch Value: NA

Between Tu Shan Jing and Xiang Liu: A Love Written in Tragedy

I completely enjoyed the second half of Lost You Forever — the sweeping landscapes, the rich historical setting, and the tangled web of love and destiny pulled me in completely. But there’s one thing that still lingers in my heart: why didn’t the show give us the female lead’s ending instead of centering so much on the ML’s perspective?

For me, the love story between Princess Jiu Yao (Yang Zi) and Tu Shan Jing (Deng Wei) was beautifully written, quiet yet powerful. I would’ve loved to see her journey conclude with him, finding the peace and happiness they both deserved after all the pain. And yet, the story also broke me with Xiang Liu (Tan Jian Ci). The last battle scene was devastating — a heartbreaking reminder of everything he sacrificed in silence. If Jiu Yao hadn’t fallen so deeply for Tu Shan Jing, I truly believe she could have found her forever with Xiang Liu. Their bond was unspoken yet undeniable, full of longing and missed chances.

"When Princess Jiu Yao’s royal past was wiped away, she had no choice but to build a life far from home, living disguised as a man. But fate had other plans. Drawn into the paths of Tu Shan Jing, the gentle future clan leader, and Xiang Liu, the mysterious nine-headed demon, Jiu Yao’s heart became the battlefield of love and loyalty. Torn further by Prince Xi Yan Cang Xuan (Zhang Wan Yi), who has spent years searching for her, she is forced to choose her path. After helping Cang Xuan seize the throne, Jiu Yao dreams of a secluded life — perhaps with Xiang Liu — but destiny, politics, and lingering promises stand in the way.

Directed by Yang Huan and Zoe Qin, this 2024 sequel to the Chinese fantasy romance series Lost You Forever is a masterful blend of romance, heartbreak, and fate. Yet for all its beauty, part of me will always long for an ending where Jiu Yao’s heart found its true freedom — whether with Tu Shan Jing or the untamed Xiang Liu."

Moving story with wonderful acting

The score I gave it the combined score for the whole drama with Parts 1 & 2, though I would note that for scoring Part 2 alone I'd say it's a 7, simply because it was good but not enough to grip my attention constantly; I often got distracted, versus I gave Part 1 my full attention most of the time, which is a lot for me since I admittedly don't have the greatest attention span (enough to finish most dramas I start but not enough to give all the hours of watching my undivided attention the entire time). Then again, there were so many spoilers floating around when Part 2 aired that it was hard to avoid them, so seeing spoilers dampened the emotional rollercoaster I would have experienced if I watched it without knowing anything.

Part 1 is better than Part 2 but Part 2 is still awesome, at least from my perspective as a drama-only watcher. Obviously the novel readers have strong negative opinions about changes but if you don't know about all that, the drama has a lot of value on its own. I assume no one will really read my review, it's mainly me just getting things off my chest, so I won't go into a lot of detail. Everyone's acting was gripping and convincing, the music was fantastic and moving, and the story was poignant. I definitely still had a lot of "OMG" moments in Part 2, with my mouth literally hanging open.

As for her choice, I 100% think it was the right one. Jing has a lot of haters but he gave her what she needed and healed her traumatized heart. She didn't just choose him because he was the least toxic, she truly loved him. I love how different and special each of her relationships were though. Tong Hua really wrote a wonderful story. I think the drama was fantastic.

A lot of draggy and unecessary scenes which should be cut short

MUSIC - personal fav

长相思 Chang Xiang Si - 郁可唯 Yu Ke Wei
偏爱人间烟火 Pian Ai Ren Jian Yan Huo - 胡夏 Hu Xia, 张紫宁 Zhang Zi Ning
有你无你 You Ni Wu Ni - 毛不易 Mao Bu Yi

Really good but... But.. But..

Let me start by saying that I really liked this drama. It's really unsual to get a season 2 in Asian dramas but I assume it was all an entire season and they simply split it into 2 parts.

The story is really compelling. Fighting between personal issues, the right thing to do, selfish love, selfless love. We have it all but.. I have some issues.

Last talk about the drama it self. The first 10 episodes were boring as hell , you need to really be patience for the action to kick in. After episode 12 everything is way better.

This drama becomes really repetitive in some aspects. There is a lot of flashbacks, same talking point repeated over and over (like the childhood scene). I ended up skipping a lot... Like a lot.

The acting is great. The actors did a great job, female, male, bad good characters. Top notch.

The music is a bit repetitive but I ended up singing along. Overall I like it.

Some scene were a bit annoying. Near the end we get a scene where Xiao Yao kills her self. A lot of pathos but then we find out it was all an illusion. That s a no no for me.

My biggest issue with the drama is that I didn't really like the love interest. I kinda get why she likes him on a rational level. She always had a frantic life full of danger and suffering so choosing him makes sense because he is safe, sensitive and simple. I unfortunately never get the chemistry between them. Especially in the first season she treats him like a dog, a servent.
My personal favorite was Xian lian. Damn.. That demon make me cry. I'm fine with a guy not getting the girl but I'd have much rather preferred having more intimite scene between them. She was into him on some level but they never got the chance to live that love. He understood her struggles better than anyone else while jing was a safe choice, Xian liu was a more visceral one.
Thats the hill I'm dying on.

Overall I liked it. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you can glance over the romance not been "heart racing".

A beautiful story....

In watching shows with multiple seasons, I expect that the seasons get better with time. In this case season 1 was better than season 2. Season 2 plot was expected which was the reign of Cang Xuan but I felt that since this was a love story more focus should have been placed on Xiaoyao instead. Throughout the seasons, I was Team Xiang Lu. I felt Tushan Jing was such a weak character but I loved the way it was explained why Xiaoyao chose him. I felt sorry that Xiang Lu never got to express his feelings to her like Cang Xuan did. Even if she had rejected him, it would have still been closure. All in all a very good story! Talented cast. Great acting. Stunning portrayals. It deserves my rating of 8.0.
