Just as compelling the second time around.
Angsty. Beautiful. Addicting.
Lost You Forever have such a special place in my heart. It was one of the first Chinese novels that I read many years ago, and I remember thinking that no adaption could ever capture the richness and intricacy of the world of Dahuang — where humans, deities, and demons clashed and coexisted, their stories spanning hundreds and thousands of years. Then I watched Lost You Forever on screen for the first time in 2023, and not only did it delivered in terms of emotional depth and complexity, but it was like the characters stepped out from the pages of the novel and jumped directly into the drama. The portrayals of the characters were near perfection. I guess it helped to have the author, Tong Hua, herself partake in the creative process of the drama.
This is my second time watching season one, and I can confirm it is just as compelling as the first time.
I'm still so impressed by Yang Zi's depiction of Xiao Yao. She is a little petty, but incredibly loyal, and nothing short of resilient. She might not be the strongest, but she will fight until her very last breath to survive. She is jaded when it comes to life and forming meaningful connections, but after everything she has been through, who can blame her? Deep down, she is lonely and her only longing is for a simple existence surrounded by those who loves her and those she loves back. The rollercoaster ride of emotions she takes us on in this drama is not for the faint of hearts and I've lost count of the amount of times she have made me cry.
Lost You Forever is a timeless classic. It isn't a new drama, this isn't my first time watching it, and there are already an abundance of eloquently written reviews out there, so I will keep this short: I highly recommend this for those who still haven't watched it. It is great for those who are fans of xuanhuan, character-driven stories, and crying over fictional characters. As for those who have already seen it — I recommend you watch it again anyway. This is the kind of drama you can revisit, and still find new things to appreciate and love.

I have never seen season two, the reviews have been mixed, so I have always been afraid to start. But I think I am ready now, so pray for me as I dive deeper into this world with Xiao Yao, her (boy)friends, and her foes.
