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 😅

Current list of Xiaoyao’s suitors (Ep. 27 mark):

Tushan Jing/Ye Shiqi: deeply insane about Xiaoyao, likes giving her stuff and listens to everything she says, extremely rich smart handsome and talented, genuinely sweet and kind, is actively courting her. Engaged to someone else and has so many personal issues that it’s just a mess honestly. (These personal issues could be overlooked for her if he’d just de-engage himself, but unfortunately he is locked in a gothic romance of a family so that’s not going very well.)

Xiang Liu/Fangfeng Bei: absurdly in love with Xiaoyao, takes her on fun dates, handsome intelligent and charming and has hella chemistry with her, encourages her hobbies (archery, food, poison), likes munching on snacks she makes him (poison). Extremely dangerous and temperamental, has physically and emotionally hurt Xiaoyao on multiple occasions, easily hurt by things Xiaoyao says or does unintentionally thus causing him to lash out, has yet to explain to her that he’s in love with her, and is Cang Xuan’s enemy one way or another. (Initial power dynamics aside, I can see how they’re pretty evenly matched now. Princess marries a crazy powerful demon general. They enjoy date nights and regular poisonings.)

Cang Xuan: would do many many many many MANY things for Xiaoyao and likes to brew wine. Is not remotely courting her because they are very firmly entrenched in a brother-sister relationship, is perfectly capable of tyrannical jealousy given leeway to act on it, also he’s very busy rn trying to become king. (The premise of this show is that CX is a suitor of XY’s but. I really don’t think he’s a love interest for her. He’s just a person she might spend her life with.)

Chishui Fenglong: allied with Cang Xuan, has yet to display any signs of mental illness, has never hurt Xiaoyao, has a normal relationship with his family, has a working brain, and thinks Xiaoyao is pretty and cool. Probably would be completely in over his head in a relationship with Xiaoyao, “is too much like Cang Xuan” according to the lady herself, not nearly as magnetic as the others. (He’s so so normal. Unfortunately, Xiaoyao has different taste.)

dang son that might be the most embarrassing thing xiang liu could do to both xiao yao and fenglong 😬😬😬 didn’t even give her the chance to explain why she absolutely had to leave with xiang liu 😬

cang xuan and chishui fenglong are the boy equivalent of girls who meet in the club bathroom at 2am and swear undying love to each other within the first five minutes and MEAN it
