Not really a season 2 but definitely worth watching

If you liked season 1, you should watch season 2. It's not a continuation but another version of the same story.
It has the same lead actress and same locations of the first season. The lead actor is different but he plays the character really well. And they changed so much the hair and wardrobe of the female lead that I almost didn't recognize her.
The plot is light, funny and sweet. I have to say I liked the second season more than the first. I think this second version of the story is more cohesive than the first one.
Because it's such a short drama, you will probably want to watch it all in only one day like I did.

Here Is My Exclusive Indulge Season 2: Not a Continuity but a Parallel


Just finished watching this sequel to Here Is My Exclusive Indulge, which is one of the first mini-dramas I watched and which, despite its many flaws, I still consider one of my favorites.

Season Two retains FL Sissi Bao Chen Xi and Chen Si Qi as the male lead's assistant, while replacing the ML from season one with Lin Fen Song. I like this Season too, equally to but differently from Season One. S2 resolves some of the glaring production problems that were so jarring in season 1, and more importantly, it gave a LOT more screen time and lines to Chu He [Chen SiQi, you are such a sweetie! lol] ... I didn't really like the opening as much as season 1, but once the alternative time line was established, it mostly flowed really well. There weren't as many funny moments in S2, but this was made up for by better development of the romantic thread of the plot.

Each season has its merits, and perhaps would be wisely marketed as the "comic book" version and the "real life" version ... to allow for connectivity without creating the expectation of continuity. [Season Two begins with the FL as the writer of a comic book version of ML Fu Sihan's romantic life, so this could potentially work].

Overall this is a solid and enjoyable followup to Season One.

Time I'll never get back

Same female lead as the first season, which is good, because she is just precious. I like her acting, and I like her character. She's very spunky. She's down on her luck but she's no one's door mat. I always enjoy watching strong female leads that are likeable.

Different actor for ML this time, and I wasn't buying him as the ML. Expressionless and he seemed very uncomfortable. I didn't find his acting totally believable, but that may be partially due to the script.

However, the rest of the actors (other than his secretary) were really overacting. It is really hard to take people seriously when they scream and stomp and act like babies.

I watched this because I felt like I needed to finish both of them, but I can't recommend either.

DO NOT WATCH THIS IF...

1. if you are a kdrama watcher. As a kdrama watcher this is trash
2. if you are looking for drama with plot cause this doesn't have one
3. if you don't want to waste your time. just don't watch
4. if you want storyline, I don't know why they made this drama
5. if you don't like cringe and clique, it's worse than something you would read on wattpad
6. i don't think I need to give more reasons why not to watch this
if you wanna watch something good check my recommendation lists.. hehe ;)

If you liked Season 1, you will love Season 2

I thought Season 1 was good, but Season 2 really exceeded my expectations. The storyline was written better and the leading FL did an even better job on this one. There were so many funny moments, it was a blast to watch. The sweet moments were really nicely done as well. Evil nasty female rivals, but this FL is no push over. A very cute rival male is a nice addition. A very nicely done Romantic comedy that is not "over the top" as many of the other short dramas that is being cranked out lately. Highly recommend, you WILL be entertained.

Better than the first season but The cast not so good

This is not a continuation of the first season, its a different story. It has the same FL but the ML is different. I believe the ML is not made for domineering CEO roles, he looks more of a sunshine guy. The chemistry between leads was good but it felt that the FL was giving too much expression while the male lead was giving none. But the plot was better than the first season it can be watched once. It has no misunderstandings so I don't think you would have wet eyes watching it.

It has good ending

Though it is a season 2 but by name only ,it has different story but theme is same . One thing is very odd that he was so rich ,so security system around him would be very strong but she reached home so easily . This part of drama needs some work though it is short duration one.
It is five minutes duration drama so it irritates me sometimes . So need patience while watching it but story is good. I like the leads as well the secretary of male lead . All supporting actor and actress were good. Can give at try to it. Drama has a nice ending .

I haven't had such a laugh in a while.

This is such a sweet and funny mini-show with a dash of drama. The storyline is somewhat similar to season 1 but otherwise this is a new story with other issues and not a sequel.
ML is so handsome and adorable. It is really nice to see Lin Feng Song in the main role since he most of the time plays a supporting role. I hope he gets more main roles in the future because he is a great actor.
FL is cute but a bit too silly for me - at least in the first half. Not that it ruins the show but I am kind of bored with these socalled innocent, dumb and cute FLs. What’s wrong with a more “normal” FL? Sissi Bao Chen Xi does a good job but is directed to be too perky.
MLs assistant “Chu He” is hilarious. Thinking he is a good matchmaker but keeps interrupting them, LOL.
Anyway, if you want something funny, sweet and entertaining, this is well worth watching.

Refreshing

I could kick myself when I think I almost did not watch this!

I did not particularly like the first season: the over the top acting did not sit well with me. Until I read a few comments and realized it was supposed to be a live version of a comic. Afterwards everything fell in place. But still I did not want to watch the second series since they changed the main actor (he was so hot!!). Last night I needed something light and fluffy and short to watch after finishing a K drama full of corruption and backstabbing.

And I thought of this. And it had made my day! This was really so brilliantly well produced, written and acted. The story is the usual trope filled story of a contract relationship turned love between a cold rich CEO and a poor sweet girl. She is a comic book artist using the real life wheelchair bound CEO as her inspiration. After few silly accidental encounters and they end up in a convoluted contract relationship full of usual tropes.

The originality here is the female character: she is pretty, innocent and sweet but also is smart, brave and has a strong character, not letting anyone walk all over her. How refreshing! I really loved how intelligently she dealt with the usual obstacles put on her way: family, friends, exes of the CEO all wanted to get rid of her. Unlike the usual female character who loses all reasonable brain functions when she falls in love, the FL here stayed smart and actually used her head to think not to swoon.

There is the obligatory third party: another rich man smitten by her sweetness and smarts. But he knows when to back down and they all remain friends. Though beforehand there is the funniest wheelchair race ever: needs to be seen to be believed!

Only one thing: what does the title mean?!?!?

Not A Continue Of The First One, But Cute 2nd Story

It is cute for a short drama but it has the same basic style. A contract wife, they later for in love. A family member wants the business and try to ruin the relationship. A grandpa that is blind but owns the business and many other silliness and childish scenes. The lead characters are cute together and do a good job in maintaining the story. The actors do their best in their performance and silliness. They bring in new characters at different episodes to make the story but they could have kept them out and make a stronger case in the story. Fun not bad, not really a continue of the first one but a change of story.

Corto leggero e divertente!

Da un dramma da 5 minuti a puntata non si può pretendere molto però sicuramente questo mini dramma può riempire momenti spensierati tra un dramma e l'altro più impegnativi.
Dramma carino semplice e divertente pieno di ogni tipo di cliché ma che fa anche sorridere visto i bei protagonisti.Ce di tutto da lui bello prepotente a lei povera e sciocchina la sorellastra cattiva il finto fidanzamento il innamoramento il terzo incomodo e chi ne ha più ne metta ma alla fine è carino proprio per questo.
Con la prima stagione non c'entra molto.
Bello da vedere veloce e simpatico.
