Little grand prince will be just fine. And will reunite with mom at some point.

First,problem is that was marketed as S2 to FBS.Even if you look carefully at URL of this page. People who watched FBS years ago expected an S2 to FBS not an S2 to an S1 that never existed. So they've failed to meet expectations of FBS S1 watchers who wanted to know how their story ends not a new story. So, immediate hate is from failure to meet expectations for continuance of story told in FBS S1.

OK, marketers got attention of FBS S1 watchers. Now.

Second problem. Quality of pretty much everything compared to S1. It's something subjective, but when putting them side by side S2 is just cringe.

I'm sure they're going to annoy those that liked original source as well. Someone noted below that Mu Qing Luan here is cast as a guy. Like,I'm not *hua versions that much but even I knew who she was.

Overall creators made it not just easy to hate on it,but also enjoyable 😜

They probably thought there was already too much female interest floating around 🤔.Did they do the scene where XY admires MQL's
" beautiful figure" and "delicate mouth"?

Unfortunately nó.

In terms of this "love at first sight". I guess it's just expected. When it's not like that (e.g., Wonderland of Love) people start to get confused and agitated. But, she is hot, he is young, hormones hit his brain hard. Love is indistinguishable from madness :D . Now, his reaction to Teng Zijing's death I felt was a bit too much.

To me Wan'er never looked like a damsel in distress per se. Other than health issues, her life was pretty good until he came along.

Albeit, the book was actually very good. Wang Juan did a great job to refit it for screen purpose. But it's hard to predict what's going to be in S2. Like in the book FX will get together with Haitang as well. How it could pass censorship standards no idea. I suppose one way is for Wan'er to die first. Also, Wu Zhu actually tends to go missing for quite a long time but how it was done in the series, shifted timeline quite a bit. I guess we just have to wait and see.

I would be in the opposite camp. I find their relationship is most believable because, well, they are courting. He is the one doing the chase. She likes him and is playing along. They are interested in each other but neither is smitten by emotions. So their romance is a bit atypical for drama insofar as they are not acting like a bunch of retarded teenagers. Again given the time they know each other and circumstances of their interactions it's more believable than them starting to sacrifice their organs for each other :)

I don't see it happening.

Yes it's niceley done happy end.

Oh, lol, you're the guy who said that Tencent spent years copying some Condor Heroes anime

"Tencent took the clue and went further. If you look at S1 of the anime, Xun Er wears almost the exact same pink/light purple outfit as the Dragon Lady of the anime Condor Heroes. That was released in 2001 I think, so Tencent had plenty of years to look up that anime and copy their dress style."

Jezuz. You must be special after all. No wonder you're guiness record holder for longest MDL threads.

I really didn't see that record. Where should I check that info? Also, what's the significance of this record? did you get a medal or money? I just don't understand why you brought it up.

Is it because you're calling people in that thread idiots and people replying back to you or something? I'm just curious.

Oh, you were calling everyone idiots there too :D that must've earned you .. what? was it a deep meaningful discussion?

His hysteria mildly amuses me. I didn't expect such off the hinge response. I wonder if he's banging his head against the wall.

no one is forcing you to reply.

Lol my evaluation (albeit chiding) of your opinion on OST and FL performance earned me title of scum and scourge of earth. How special.

indeed

lol, i thought I'm on ignore list. just please ignore me. I am really trying to follow your advice and avoiding an argument with an idiot. But you keep dragging me back down to your level where you can beat me since you're more experienced.

as in never argue with an idiot. So I am not arguing with you. as for the rest ... whatever

indeed.

profound if you're 10.

is it profound only when you're watching it with eng subs?

( that probably wasn't relevant to this post and once again you've got confused. attention span. goldfish etc., oh look a birdie)

ah jezuz. she cried. god help us, what an actress.
(That said, she was fantastic in SSS)

Songs in OP/END: yeah, they are very simple, that's quality right there.

What's that sound?
Sounds very simple.
Aaah, I see, must be BTTH opening credits rolling.

Very well phrased. Disappointment is mainly due to failure to meet expectations.

If they didn't market it as S2 to FBS at least they wouldn't be compared in terms of quality. I never hate on show because of young cast etc.,I actually loved Magic Star which is probably cheapest show ever made.
But differences in quality of production and cast between the 2 shows is just so drastic I just can't help myself to hate on it. Also, from what I heard they had more money than FBS. I don't know how it happens.

There is an extra pursuer for each. They cause a bit of trouble but it's always clear they are not competition for either ML or FL as far as romantic interest is concerned.
