Acting > Story
Lost You Forever Szn 1 was pretty good so I was really excited when szn 2 FINALLY came out however was disappointed.Story: not how I imagined and feel like it was really rushed. They definitely deleted many parts of it from the original storyline which caused it to not make sense and basically, ruin the show. Would be so much better if they added the scenes that were actually necessary instead of rushing it to get it aired.
Acting/Cast: everyone's acting was really good, so the acting part didn't disappoint.
Music: very enjoyable and I'm pretty sure it was the same songs from szn 1, which I liked a lot
Rewatch Value: NA

Moving story with wonderful acting
The score I gave it the combined score for the whole drama with Parts 1 & 2, though I would note that for scoring Part 2 alone I'd say it's a 7, simply because it was good but not enough to grip my attention constantly; I often got distracted, versus I gave Part 1 my full attention most of the time, which is a lot for me since I admittedly don't have the greatest attention span (enough to finish most dramas I start but not enough to give all the hours of watching my undivided attention the entire time). Then again, there were so many spoilers floating around when Part 2 aired that it was hard to avoid them, so seeing spoilers dampened the emotional rollercoaster I would have experienced if I watched it without knowing anything.Part 1 is better than Part 2 but Part 2 is still awesome, at least from my perspective as a drama-only watcher. Obviously the novel readers have strong negative opinions about changes but if you don't know about all that, the drama has a lot of value on its own. I assume no one will really read my review, it's mainly me just getting things off my chest, so I won't go into a lot of detail. Everyone's acting was gripping and convincing, the music was fantastic and moving, and the story was poignant. I definitely still had a lot of "OMG" moments in Part 2, with my mouth literally hanging open.
As for her choice, I 100% think it was the right one. Jing has a lot of haters but he gave her what she needed and healed her traumatized heart. She didn't just choose him because he was the least toxic, she truly loved him. I love how different and special each of her relationships were though. Tong Hua really wrote a wonderful story. I think the drama was fantastic.

Season two falls short
LIKEWhen Tu Shan Hou finally admitted his love for Fang Feng Yi Ying - so touching
Chen Rong army who never surrendered - how their enemy Ru Shou (who led Xi Yan army) bowed in respect after the war ended
DISLIKE
Chen Rong Xin Yue who was so annoying
A lot of draggy and unecessary scenes which should be cut short
MUSIC - personal fav
长相思 Chang Xiang Si - 郁可唯 Yu Ke Wei
偏爱人间烟火 Pian Ai Ren Jian Yan Huo - 胡夏 Hu Xia, 张紫宁 Zhang Zi Ning
有你无你 You Ni Wu Ni - 毛不易 Mao Bu Yi
万物不如你 Wan Wu Bu Ru Ni - 张杰 Zhang Jie
REWATCH VALUE
Probably just the part I want to watch

A beautiful story....
In watching shows with multiple seasons, I expect that the seasons get better with time. In this case season 1 was better than season 2. Season 2 plot was expected which was the reign of Cang Xuan but I felt that since this was a love story more focus should have been placed on Xiaoyao instead. Throughout the seasons, I was Team Xiang Lu. I felt Tushan Jing was such a weak character but I loved the way it was explained why Xiaoyao chose him. I felt sorry that Xiang Lu never got to express his feelings to her like Cang Xuan did. Even if she had rejected him, it would have still been closure. All in all a very good story! Talented cast. Great acting. Stunning portrayals. It deserves my rating of 8.0.Cet avis était-il utile?
skipped a lot of scenes
I'm waiting for season 2 because I'm really curious about what will happen next. but watching episode one made me bored and forgot about it. then continued again but I skipped a lot of scenes because there were too many things that weren't important but it turned out that the content of the story could still be understood. I liked the ending but apart from that I forgot everything that happened at the beginning of the episode. In fact, I was most impressed with the ending from Xiang Liu's side. The story in Xiang Liu's part is always concise and there is good chemistry with Xiao Yao.but I bought 7.5 for the acting, ending and also the beautiful visual effects

Lost you forever, a fitting title
Lost You Forever is such a fitting title for this drama. In this s2 part of the drama, XY is quoted saying "What is gained cannot compensate for what is lost" and this holds for all the main characters. They have all gained something in the end, but at what cost? For some characters, the gains seem to greatly outweigh the cost but for most, that is not the case. This lesson from this drama is one that I think will stick with viewers for a long time.However, my only gripe with this show is that they made a very important and character-defining moment between CX and XY meaningless by making it all a tea dream of sorts. All that emotional angst that so many people were looking forward to turned into nothing. Due to that, I can't give this show a 10/10. I will say though, the acting was amazing.
So, the question remains, do I recommend season 2? Yes, but not as much as season 1. A little disappointed but still worth the watch.

Lost You Forever depicts the upheaval of a meeting, togetherness, and separation. A Very Epic Drama
To be honest, the second season is not as grand as the first season and does not show all parts of the novel because the reality is that the production house may have limitations to show all the extraordinary scenes in the novel. I myself as a reader of the novel was disappointed because there was a scene that felt less precise or hastily compressed into one. But after watching the drama till the end of the episode, I became more understanding of the intention of the author who wanted to pack this story into a more complete one. This drama get me hooked because it's main story that depicts the reality of how we were all wanderers who travel, wanderers who each have past wounds and then meet each other, either heal each other then decide to separate because the direction you want to go is different, or decide to wander together because both have the same direction that packaged in a strong storyline, complex character background, growth, and dynamics, beautiful cinematography, stunning music, and great actress and actors. Lost you forever depicts the upheaval of a meeting, togetherness, and separation. A very epic drama. Worth to watch and rewatch.Cet avis était-il utile?

Worth your time
Although waiting for months (not for a year if i were to start on S1 earlier while it just came out) to see the continuation because of the stupid rule is a pain in one’s bum, im still very much enjoyed the continuation. The part 2 is mostly mellow though compared to part 1, mainly because all the climax and flirting already happened in part 1 and it feels like there were only a few strands left to be tighten up (or maybe thats because i’ve been spoiled so much prior to watching? Lol)Yang Zi was fabulous in this as usual, but the story really was made more awesome by good acting from her male leads as well, mostly CX, jing and XL, not so much on FL though since his part is not that much compared to the other 3. Good job to these actors. Though it was such a bum to see how XY’s wedding was not so grand and lavish or how much cartoonish the fight scene that took Jing away for almost 1/3rd of the Jing’s presence in part 2. XL’s death scene was appropriately set up, worthy of his role.
All in all, it was clear to see how CX is only destined to be there beside XY as her gege/protector (though I was surprised to see they were able to make CX confess the truth to XY prior to her wedding) and it was only Jing who can put everything away and put XY first whatever comes. Xiang liu, even though he may love her as well, is not a man who can leave everything behind to be beside XY like Jing can, so the only virtuous way he can show his love to XY is by making it possible for someone who loves her as well to be with her to the end, and to protect her silently from the shadow. Feng Long is just there for the ride though. Lol. He’s just a convenient suitor when the other 3 guys were in a mess. Lol. Sorry feng long!
OST are chef kiss! Not sure about rewatching this though. Maybe later. Now, on to the next drama!

Don't expect too much
I will keep it short. What we expected from S2 was a more complete story. What we got was alot of lackluster moments. I truly expected a grand face off between the demon and the king in battle...but nothing happened there. I expected a true face off between Jing and his brother but also nothing happened there. I expected more people to try to kill the king...also nothing. I expected less moments directed to toward Xiaoyue especially since a war is going on. I expected more cultivation moments of power...they are immortal but they acted extremely human.Honestly, I expected some grand moments but it was all okay. The only surprising moment was when Xiaoyue and Cang tried to kill each other. It woke me up. Look it ended the way we thought but if this had been in the hands of lesser actors ...it would have failed. The biggest surprise was the ML incredible acting...everything showed on his face and then nothing showed on his face. The ML and FL actors truly fostered each talents. I liked the story but it lacks the do or die moments that cdramas are famous for however the actors did their best to make up for it.

Gotta Love This Crew
I have read some scathing reviews on other sites which baffles me. Thank goodness this was not like Joy To Life S2 which was not to my liking. I didn't finish that drama, but I am very happy with this one. I am glad it is not exactly the same vibe as S1. It's a little darker. The tears have fallen on the last two episodes I've watched. I still have Ep. 22 to 25 to go. I am all in on this story and will hate to see it end. I wish Jianci had been in more episodes. I think brother got way obsessed and I actually found myself hating him and filled with disgust. Zhang Wan Yi is a great actor. His eyes show a lot of emotion. Everyone acted great. In a few months I will watch both seasons again.Cet avis était-il utile?
This drama will never be lost forever
What can I say? This drama was everything I had hoped for, in Yang zi’s growing career. I loved the first half more than the second half as it stayed true to the novel and didn’t let fangirls of certain actors/ characters ruined the plot line. I still will rate this drama high as spite the ridiculous changes to feed certain characters/ fans. It still was pretty good. The whole cast did an amazing job even the bad guys who you can’t help but relate to most of them. The musical score was amazing and so was the CGI. Everything was perfect in the first half which will always hold a dear spot inside my heart. The second half was nice but not as good as the first half. Again I still think this drama is a 10.Cet avis était-il utile?

good ending
All 3 love her and are willing to die for her. However they have their own destinies. Cang Xuan chose the throne and world peace over Xiao Yao. Xiang Liu chose to stay and fight to death with his comrades than to roam around the world with her. Only Jing is willing to give up his clan to be with her. He is willing to do anything for her happiness. The life she wanted was a simple life to roam the world and compiled the medical books. I love the ending.Cet avis était-il utile?
