Sad, my heart longs for that which is no more...

The episodes 1 to 5 are really great, I think they are even better than the first season of the Eternal Love.
The plot is confusing, but at the same time interesting.
The male lead is really fun to watch, even more playful and emotionally conflicted than in the first season.
The female lead also plays well, having some really funny scenes. They again have great chemistry together.
All actors played really well, especially Richards Wang. He played suprisingly well, making me want to see more of him.

However, after episode 5 it all goes downhill. I kept watching hoping that it would become better again, but it didn't.
Suddenly I wondered where the chemistry of the fl and ml had gone. The male lead did not feel charming and caring anymore, instead he became quite possesive in a not fun way. All complex emotions he once had were gone.
The female lead did not feel that funny anymore either. The romance was gone. No, forceful kissing does not equal romance.

Suddenly there are a lot of fillers, that have no relevance to the plot, and are not funny either.
The female lead starts to have superficial feministic monologues, which are just not fun, and starts to promote a 9 to 5 hour workhour, because....? It is like they suddenly changed to another scriptwriter, who does not understand what made the previous season (and the first 5 episodes) so fun to watch.

I recommend watching the first 5 episodes, because they are really good. But everything after... just makes me sad...

p.s. The eternal love seems to be heavily inspired by Scarlet Heart (I've seen only a few episodes, but they are very similar). Scarlet Heart seems to be a more complex version of eternal love, so you might try that one instead.
