DAI LUWA (代露娃) as A Nian / Haoling Yi
Lost You Forever 长相思 (2023-2024)
LOST YOU FOREVER | Season 2 ep. 22
Lost You Forever S2 - A complete waste
Even though the s1 was such a gem in the Chinese adaptation dramas. Love-lines messed up, out of character on a large scale. After all, I don’t know what Tonghua - the script writer AND the AUTHOR of the original book - was thinking. She makes her heroine be some kind of a two timer, going push and pull with Bei in the morning and crying about how hard she feels to forget Jing in the afternoon. Why 🙂 we all know you are single now, XY, but we don’t need that trait from a heroine, right?
As if it would stop right there. A great deal of scenes were added to prove her situation-ship. She wears red wedding gown waiting at the Dragon Bone prison - where she and Jing promised to be together, claiming me wait for nothing (now starts the add-on) but her eyes brighten when she sees snow (means Liu is nearby). Girl, again you were crying over Jing the other day. Anddddd next, our Liu, unexpectedly (but somehow not that unexpectedly) appears on the screen, with a dashing, non-existent-in-the-novel red wedding gown, hands holding the goodbye-im-getting-married gift from Xiaoyao, looks so sad 😬 dude, are the daily demands of a general not heavy enough for you? you have time to hang out with XY in 2 different countries and now you just stand still gazing afar on the ocean???
And the trip to see XY's mom and bio dad. Gosh, originally only Haoling King, XY and Jing went. Now it is like a fellowship of the ring with even Cangxuan and Liu going. Jing, who was introduced to XY’s mom as the fiancé of XY, on his knees before her mom to show respect and gained her approval. In the drama funny thing he’s the only one who was not on his knees. well he doesn’t even get the chance to meet the mom before she dies. And Jing and XY, who want to kill the bug so much, don’t even think to ask the magicians (masters of bugs) when they are in the hood as they did in the novel. Well, let Liu-sama, appearing from nowhere, take care of this task.
And, the plot that Cangxuan is boss in the Jing assassination and all of its following developments, have been written as some kind of hallucination former Xiyan King created for him so he knows when to stop his hidden desire for XY 🤣 the boss now is his queen Xinyue, who is jealous and greedy but not a moron. Someone who cannot beat the power of Tushan-Xiling clans, now has the audacity and assets to support Tushan Hou in setting a trap and kill Jing - her own beloved first cousin. Funny, Tonghua.
And so so many scenes added/removed. I think most people in China who were fans of the novel and s1 are so mad when at least 3 main characters (Xiaoyao, Cangxuan, Jing) are so nerf and OOC that the views go down, like, to the hell compared with s1, which is tbh beyond every bloggers’ forecast. even fasttrack (the release of 6 final eps for those paying) cannot save the view. The hotsearch “ill adaptation - LYF” on Weibo (Chinese social media) is on, showing great disappointment of the fans.
Such a shame with those casting. All I have to say, capitalism is scary with its star boosting scheme 😅
Why don't you open your eyes and look closer?
