argh, so heartwarming <3
ZSC = Zhou Sheng Chen || SY = Shi Yi
"Beauty both inside out is something that rarely exists. One can be beautiful inside, but might not be beautiful outside. One can be beautiful outside, but terrible on the inside. Most people in the world have shallow eyes, they only see the outside and not the inside.","美人骨,世间罕见。有骨者,而未有皮,有皮者,而未有骨。世人大多眼孔浅显,只见皮相,未见骨相"
well, this is the second part of One and Only. It brings both ZSC and SY back together again in the modern world after their heartwrenching love in the past. Unfortunately, the show is only 10% linked to the previous season. Mostly, the show is prefacing how they make up for the love they couldn't have in the past. SY in the last life said "ZSC, if there's a next life, you must marry me first" and in this life, he did. There are many easter eggs in this show and a lot of flashbacks which hurts mi little heart :<
Now let's just talk about the story. The story is about ZSC and SY reuniting in this life again with lots of ups and downs, family's rejections, mismatch of timings etc. This show I would say is a little less 'thrilling' than the previous. Or at least near the end of the show where things spice up and your emotions really gets wrecked over.
The chemistry/love between the two characters are lovely, sometimes awkward because of how ZSC is like
but off-screen, the two actors are the total opposite of what their characters are, so it is very alarming and impressive that they could act totally different personalities of characters!
As for OST, most of them are reused but these 3 are my total FAVS!! Zhang Bi Chen - As it is, Cheng Xiang - Shi Guang Hong Liu, Mao Bu Yi - Give You Give Me
I ended up buying the actual novel and I will be reading it once it arrives!
PS. Check out my review on One and Only! keke
//EASTER EGGS! SPOILER
- Shi Yi is surnamed Shi and named Yi, because before she jumped, she begs to be removed from the Cui family tree and to drop her surname as she felt that she has disgraced the family.
- In some episodes [specifically the first few eps], the scenes at ShiYi's office, there are chalk drawings of CUI ShiYi touching ZSC nose bridge in the first season!
- Hong Xiao Yu [different Chinese characters but spells out the same name!] is still Shi Yi's best friend across the two lives!
-Mei Xing is actually ZiXing from the past life[the evil prince in the first season] and now he is ZSC best buddy!
- SY had a speaking disorder in her first life so she became a voice actor in her second life <3
- This is pretty obvious, but in both lives, the couple wrote the poem[上林武] together in the library
- Modern life SY hates RED, and loves PALE GREEN! Why? In her past life, she wore pale green to worship her master [ZSC] and wore red during her last moments.
