Season 1 was incredible, while this season was just (barely) okay.
Season 1 was, in my opinion, close to a masterpiece. It was so beautiful and well-written. (Maybe I'm reaching a bit far. This is just my opinion, so don't hate on me if you didn't feel the same.)
Season 2, unlike Season 1, was a letdown. The script was chaotic and weird. The characters felt unlike themselves.
The "final battle" was so... interesting, let's say that.
Despite all that, the cinematography, the acting, and especially our main couple, saved this season from being a total disaster.
I'm so, so sad how they handled Season 2. It was disheartening since "Flourished Peony" was my favorite C-drama.
I'll still give this a 7/10 or 7.5/10 for the acting, cinematography, and our main couple. And well, even though the writing felt so messy, we did have some really nice scenes.
Season 1 is a 9/10 or 10/10 for me, though I also understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Now, if anyone is unsure whether to watch this after hearing about the negatives this season, I'd still very much recommend it. At least give it a try. :)
