i finished watching season 1 like 2 weeks ago so everything is still fresh to me but everything has been smooth so far for me and im not really bothered by anything unlike some viewers so im really confused??? yeah there are some minor changes and not everything is EXACTLY the same but that's understandable considering it's been years and the vibe is still just like in s1. people be talking about how the comedy is "exaggerated" as if fan xian as a kid didn't beat up his butler in ep 1. JOL1 had lots of comedy in the first half of the show (and still consistently had some bits in the latter half) just like what we're seeing in JOL2 right now, maybe JOL2 has a bit more comedy but really it's not that big of a difference. obviously the show is not that serious yet because there are still a lot of episodes left (TZJ's death in JOL1 only happened in the second quarter of the show).
it feels weird seeing yan bingyun very not... frigid. i think they should've transitioned that better rather than changing his personality right away (if it was intentional well because he's a whole lot less serious now). imo his character was more interesting when it was harder to read him.
daily password sharing (forgot to start this cuz im still rewatching ss1)If you want to watch Joy of life season…
i was waiting for u to appear here on JOL2 lol i often saw you in legend of shenli and used your acct to watch it and saw you say you'll renew ur subscription when JOL2 comes. now im using it to watch JOL2 too after watching JOL1. i'd like to take this chance to thank u for sharing your account <3
no. s2 is a continuation of s1, they are basically the same story broken into two parts (with one more part soon).
it's necessary to watch season 1 tho, or else you won't understand season 2 and who the characters are, im pretty sure they won't explain everything all over again and will straight up resume from season 1's cliffhanger ending (there's a chance they'll recap for a few minutes, but it's only for those who watched JOL1 to recall the events. it won't help you much). better to finish JOL1 first and avoid any spoilers about JOL2. trust me, it's totally worth the time!
season 1 is not a backstory for season 2 because season 1 already includes many of the essential plot points. JOL2 is really just a continuation of the story. don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to catch up because JOL2 will end in june. you can finish JOL1 in less than a week if you start right away.
i love the romance and the two main characters so much but i couldn't care less about any of the supporting characters. i never felt emotionally connected to any of them and i don't even remember their names. it's as if they were just there to be in the background (to add, their acting didn't help), hence why the first 7 episodes were boring to me— there weren't much moments between the two leads. there was that one time when a certain general died in the middle of the story and it was supposed to be sad but i didn't give a single fuck because i don't even remember who that was lol. probably the only supporting character i would actually care about was that friend who lives in the south.
still at ep 12 and i hope the other characters will interest me soon. i prefer it when a writer puts effort in writing their supporting characters as well.
in short. he became too famous to act as a supporting character.
i don't think they meant it in an insulting way, as they said it was just an "in short" answer. becoming too famous (as per their answer) could mean three things: (1) his schedule is packed; (2) he can't fit in the drama's budget because he's basically one of the highest paid c-actors among his generation; or (3) he would prefer taking a lead role which is higher paying than a supporting role (which is totally understandable and practical).
hi just a question why didn't xiao zhan take this role again
i assume his schedule is really packed. he's been filming dramas and movies as the lead role continuously. also, i'm not sure if he would fit the drama's budget considering he now has the biggest active fandom among c-actors so his commercial worth has become really high.
