This is really not a Season 2 to me. Basically all different characters and plot line. The 2ml is no way as handsome as Jin Jia Yu who starred in the first one, but not in this one. But, I really liked this one more than what is listed as the "prequel" To Your Side. Spoilers below:
watched because of ML, had seen him in another drama and wanted to check out another. Really liked the perky FL. It was an ok watch as I have seen others similar to this plot. Chemistry was kinda meh for me. HE w/wedding Really enjoyed Xu Dan. Super cute.
I generally like Zuo Yi as I find her pretty and cute. Liked the FL's perky, get even attitude when she was reborn. More chemistry from fl than ml. All the baddies got karma, at least 3 died, implied dad may have from creditors. Icing would have been the illegitimate daughter wasn't his, lol. Decent as revenge drama. Cute twist for extended HE w/six year old son. Lackluster kisses.
I have seen both Jin Jia Yu and Lan Lan set my computer on fire from kisses and love scenes. Sadly, it was with other people in different dramas. This was mostly a sweet, awkward love story where the near miss troupe was used to keep the lovers from recognizing one another. Loved that the grandmother took him to task on him not telling the FL when he recognized her. There wasn't much tension or chemistry between them here. Nice, but lackluster end. I rated 7.5 because he's so pretty to look at, lol.
Han Yu Tong's wardrobe is amazing in this drama! I'm never seen so many different outfits for a FL, or anyone, for a filmed vertically drama. She is gorgeous in every single one. I wonder if the designer or brand sponsored the outfits for this drama for advertising. If so, it was a brilliant move. The dresses are beautiful.
Major spoilers in comment below.Basically, a weak, misguided revenge plot with a few other basic plot themes thrown…
weak revenge plot. Drug induced rape of fl by ml. He promises to take responsibility. Weird scene where 2fl makes fl rub healing cream on her privates? Fl believes ml is responsible for killing her family, hence the “revenge”. Turns out to be her “brother” who is actually the Dowager Empress's son who she swapped at birth. He wanted to take back the throne and make fl his empress. Meanwhile, the other brother had met fl years before and wanted her for himself. ML made sure to get her away from his brother. So, several plot themes tossed into the mix. A few decent kisses and one love scene. HE when fl finds out the ml wasn't the culprit and had, in fact, tried to rescue her during the massacre of her family. He realizes who she is at some point near the end, but it never shows how he knows.

LMR has done better kiss scenes and had better chem/tension in some earlier dramas I watched. This was cute. FL pretty, his lips looked too big here for some reason. Cute sistermance w/his sister. Sweet romance story. Loved how she made him eat and drink things he hated after she found out he was the big brother. Made me lol when he turned around and his shirt was shredded after the two girls got into a fight w/2 other girls at the bar. Loved how she rushed to her best friend and waded right in, lol.HE w/him learning new tricks to practice in bed, lol
liked how FL took revenge and stood up for herself. Liked how supportive ML was after she took initial steps to clean up her mess. Only 1 press lip ks. Implied ls but only shown dressed in bed the next day. Loved his sister. Glad 2ml and 2fl got karma. I rated 7 because I liked fl's character. Wish there had be more romance. didn't think they had much chemistry.
a few good kisses, ok chem/tension, he's had better w/other actresses, but that could also just be part of the script. Super cute little boy as their son. The missed timing on revealing who each other are to each other was a bit boring for me. Glad he stood up for her. If she was this hot shot restorer, then she should have had more money and recognition. That part was kinda lame. Love the actress that played the grandmother. HE w/her about 8 months preggers and the son wearing out the ml's sister by playing with her so much, lol. Still, it's Zhang Bei Xi and I'll watch anything he does, lol. :)
Wasted Lin Yong Ju's kissing and intense passionate glazes in this one. As in there was only one brief kiss at the end, lol. Guess the scriptwriter never saw him in action in other vertical dramas! Ha!
Holy smokin' kisses! Are they a real life couple? That one lick when she asked him if he was a dog was WOW for a C-drama. Maybe the censors were napping...
I pretty much hate just about all of them by now..... I really want to drop kick the screenwriter.... Poor Mik.... hope he gets better scripts in the future
Well, I wanted to watch Min Xing Han, but I'm not a fan of that ending, lol. Thanks for letting me know! I watched him in Qing Wen Gan Tian (2025) and wanted to see more of his work. Will just have to check out others.
