First, I loved the first season, and I just couldn't imagine how they were going to make a Season 2. They did, and it hasn't disappointed.
What I love about S2, more than S1 is the chemistry between the leads. I didn't think it could have improved, but the leads seem so much more in sync and comfortable with each other in this one. (I think I've re-watched the cosmetic photo shoot ten times). Bei smiles more, and that is awesome to watch. There are more kisses, though they aren't Maids Revenge level kissing...what is, actually
I'll admit Xing Fei hasn't been one of my favorite Chinese Actresses, but after her role in this series, and especially the scene where she believes the 9th Prince dies, my admiration for her skyrocketed. Her performance in that one scene was unique and heartfelt and heartbreaking. Despite the lower ratings for CGI, low budget, and camera work, the actors did a great job.
totally agree.. thats all pretty much cheating.. one can even cheat emotionally
I was so looking forward to seeing Luke in something of substance that isn't this polarizing. The character development for Dino tumbled so fast downhill, that it became nauseating to watch. So...I had to join the dropped camp, too. I'm still going to read through the comments though...the debate on cheating vs not cheating has become a Lakorn itself.
Apparently we have people arguing it is not cheating and justifying itThey did so well...then they did a character…
Character Assassination…great description of what happened here. That scene was so unnecessary or could have been done (adamant resistance on Dino’s part FFS) in a way to show depth instead of destruction.
People have a right to vent their frustration and opinions. Isn't that what this comment section is for? I'm sorry.…
The best live posting I ever experienced on MDL was during Bad Romeo. It was so friendly, respectful, and fun. Here…not so much. Still, I’ll continue to stay here with mild trepidation.
To call people who have a different opinion than yours stupid is a bit much. Even if it's an illusion or dream,…
He acted the same way in Oh My Boss, so I think they are just marketing Luke’s sex appeal. The problem with this is he runs the risk of becoming a stereotype. Hopefully his next roll doesn’t involve “making out” with the other characters as much. We shall see.
I've seen real life situation when nice guy gets f up. They try to be nice and drive the drunk girl home only…
I think what you said about being the viewer is the key. Absolutely love flawed characters. IMO, the writer/director should respect the audience enough to not underestimate how these characters are being portrayed and then viewed. I do believe the car scene could have been done in another way to make us sympathize with the ML as opposed to wanting to scream some sense into him.
i can't with these stupid people believing that Dino cheated! Even Pam narrated, Dino was just playing along with…
To call people who have a different opinion than yours stupid is a bit much. Even if it's an illusion or dream, even if Don didn't go ALL THE WAY with the SFL, it still crossed the line of too much skinship, and it can ruin the ILLUSION of romance and chemistry the leads have built together.
Bottom line, most viewers, including some of us "feminists", don't want to see the ML GETTING OFF on someone else who isn't the main protagonist.
If you're into that sort of thing, great! Respectfully, that's your prerogative.
Also, if Don REALLY wanted to get away from Jessica, he could have without any violence whatsoever. I've seen his muscles, (we all have) he could have lifted her off him and sat her on the other side, and exited the car with very little effort. To call him a "gentleman" for sitting there and "taking it", is a stretch.
I just want to wash my eyes after witnessing the car scene. There really should be a tag that reads, "Excessive SFL/SML Skinship". Then, I would not waste my time and emotions. Pramook crossed the line for me. This one catapulted itself over the line head first.
Do the writers think the viewers want to see gullible and naive FLs with no spine to stand up to how she's being wronged? When the ML pulls this sort of disgusting crap, I WANT TO SEE at least one FL grow a backbone, stand up straight and tell him to go to hell. Creating ones own happily ever after is actually okay in reality AND in Lakorns.
Damn...and I LOVE Luke...but believe he deserves to play more sophisticated, more respectable characters. He should not be confined to just playboy/traumatic childhood/cheater roles.
Gmmtv killed the storyline with cheap tatic....SLS - I'll now juat skim through
LOVED Sand Princess. It's so re-watchable. I wonder if they think the people who watch series like Oh My Boss and Donovan are just gullible, helpless, door mats who LONG for the toxic relationships...like we haven't lived through enough of these in our real lives!! - Sorry...need to rant.
After the last episode, I can't with Don. He went way too far and is no longer redeemable. This is too much like Luke's other character in Oh My Boss. With this FL, I at least want to see her slap him HARD, tell him to F off, and then walk away. The End.
It's ironic you ask this question. I'm watching Lost Track of Time (historical CDrama) while waiting for Wednesday,…
Just a warning, Lost Track of Time does have subtitle issues. They are getting better, but sometimes, it can be a challenge to watch. I'm enjoying it enough to endure it.
Would you guys really date such a guy as the ML? Do the women really want such a guy?🙄( ok perhaps for a few…
It's ironic you ask this question. I'm watching Lost Track of Time (historical CDrama) while waiting for Wednesday, and in the first few episodes, the FL marries the SML who turns into a complicated bad guy. In episode three, she dies and transports back to when she first met the SML and does things a little differently to avoid all the BAD things he did to her and her family. Still, some are actually shipping her and the SML (despite all the horrible things he did) instead of the ML who is very sweet. Bottom line, I think some of us tend to gravitate toward the unboring. Unfortunately, sometimes that comes with a heartbreaking price.
I'm on episode 6 and struggling to continue this as it is making my blood boil because Kla is f-ing stupid. Like…
If you read through the posts from that episode, we were saying the same thing!! WE WERE FURIOUS!! For the writers to show us such love and then tear it away like that was a bit jarring. Lakorns are infamous for tugging at the heartstrings to the point of almost making them snap. With that being said, I hope you can keep watching, at least last week's episode. There are some satisfying moments to be sure.
What I love about S2, more than S1 is the chemistry between the leads. I didn't think it could have improved, but the leads seem so much more in sync and comfortable with each other in this one.

So far, loving every minute of it!
