Zhen Qian Jin Ta Shi Xue Ba Season 2 (2025)

Nice Try for making Office related drama but still unnecessary to make Sequel

I watched this because i quite like the first season even some of part were unrealistic but i can tolerate because it was rare on duanju drama didn't push the romance which is good for me who like to explore any genre. While first season focused on fake daughter real daughter trop the second season focused on after season 1 end—FL establish her own company and the "real" family called her for saving the company. I understand they make season 2 hoping to get raved as previous season even it was unnecessary to create sequel.

The first half continues the highlights of the first season, completely eliminating the excessive banter. The overall pacing is tighter, with intense clashes between the real world and the short drama world, perfectly capturing the feeling of the first episode. Unfortunately, the second half feels somewhat disjointed, as if the scriptwriter has changed. Having read the entire script, the biggest problem is that there's too much content, too many characters, and too much runtime, leaving insufficient groundwork for the supporting characters' storylines. The eldest brother is a typical incompetent CEO in short dramas, all talk and no action. His career is passable, but he lacks some memorable lines (I was really looking forward to him saying things like "I need all her information in 3 minutes" or "I'll bankrupt your XX family in 5 minutes").

The romance is excepted to be poorly developed, the character of Wen Rou isn't well-defined, and FL's solution—just 2-3 conversations—feels rushed. The second brother is probably the most successfully portrayed; a typical outlaw in short dramas, he learns his lesson after a few police calls. The third brother is a typical character who only cares about tokens, not people; there's too much pointless plot, initially portrayed as mysterious but ultimately useless. The character of Master Su is never well-defined and lacks the characteristics of a short drama. The villain is unconvincing, weak in both ability and intelligence, and lacks sufficient conflict with the FL. The lack of plot twists and turns severely diminishes the show's appeal. The plot regarding the interactions with the two female supporting characters is well-intentioned, but due to insufficient foreshadowing, the rescue, achieved solely through a few lines, feels somewhat farcical.

The final crisis, while attempting to portray the heroine's past acts of kindness as a reward, lacks sufficient impact. In summary, the main problem is that it tries to convey too much content, leaving insufficient time, and the plot and character development feel overly thin. The costumes, props, and sets are good, the visual quality is excellent, the filters are natural, and the original voice acting contributes to a pleasant viewing experience

It's neither outstanding nor terrible. Compared to typical short dramas, it offers a fresh perspective, but lacks compelling moments and a gripping plot, and still weaker in comparison to the first season. You can watch if you didnt mind of non romance drama.
