season 1 was the best, lost you forever s1 was even my top 1 wuxia series, Some may not approve of my opinion on season 2, don’t come for me. This is just my personal
opinion, frustrations, and sentiments.

I’ve put a hold on this for long since I’ve read the novel, wishing they wouldn’t follow its ending… but I decided to binge watch from episode 1-20 lol

Xiao Yao, was a bit tolerable in s1 but to be honest, I sometimes get so frustrated with her, but no one will beat my frustrations towards Tushan Jing.

Anyway Cang Xuan (zhang wan yi) in season 2 was so remarkable, how he portrayed his character, and Xiang Lu (Tan Jian Ci) these 2 are the main reason I anticipated season 2. Tan Jian Ci looks great in this kind of genre, I enjoyed love me, love my voice because I am a huge Zhou ye fan, but I don’t know I wasn’t fully immersed with him as the lead there.

anyway back to this review, I’m in a point wherein I’m just annoyed with the other two main leads XY & TJ so if they will
follow the novels ending maybe they deserve each other grrrr.

Incest during the earlier period was a thing, probably if CX and XY didn’t separate at a young age their probable love line would’ve been plausible, but hence overtime people change. I understood where he was coming from being in such a traumatic childhood losing people he truly cares about, only having XY but later on it became an obsession, I’m quite sad that they couldn’t fulfill the promises they had for each other.

As for XL, he’s carrying such a great burden, and base on his decisions so far it was for the greater good (more lives at stake) but my heart is hurting for him, yes he may be too harsh but remember he was never used to feeling what love and affection is like, and no one really taught him that, until he met XY…

As for CF, he was such an easy going dude but I think I’m not as invested because there were very little to no interactions between him and XY comparing it to the screen time XY had with the other 3 ML. But he was a good option to be honest, willing to be loyal and faithful to XY, willing to let her do whatever she wants… but yes there’s no chemistry… and later on he realized his feelings for her weren’t so deep, so I’m happy for him not getting messed up with XY’s slefishness and indecisiveness.

As for TJ, I’m sorry I really started disliking him S1 midway and more on this S2, I just find him so pathetic, at times manipulative, and calculative. Like yes he’s loyal like a dog but that’s about it. He is utterly pathetic, and a lousy clan leader, he’s selfish if you look at the bigger picture. Yes they could careless about others only wanting and focusing on their feelings but man that’s unrealistic.

XY ughh don’t get me started, I wanted or envisioned her to be a more badass FL tbh, why can’t she be more grateful being able to focus on her medicine, her archery, spending time with her brother, sister, and grandfather, she’s becoming more and more annoying. She doesn’t realize the life she’s living now is all thanks to other people who makes/made sacrifices for her to live a more unrestrained life, but here she is yapping about her past, and making it about her. But CX and XL had more traumatic past, and are continuously suffering in the present for the greater good (for a lot of people)

UPDATE: wow XY how can she be so self centered, yes she faced countless of hardships and was traumatized and still uses that card to make her seem so pitful, but CX’s experiences and hardships from his younger years up to the present day were and are more traumatizing, and he’s been sacrificing so much like XL, but here she is making it about her, it’s between her feelings and the greater good. She’s too selfish, doesn’t she realize she’s been living so freely nowadays because of everyone else’s effort? but here she is still holding onto the past as if she’s the only one w/ a scarred past?! CX and XL are the ones who are pitful, the burdens they have as an individual.
