In my review for season one, I had said that I've seen a few dramas like this with the same general idea of time travel or someone coming from another world (being from past, future, or planet) and this drama was no different. It was light and goofy and had less of a story-line vs the first season which made me ultimately not love it. We start where we had left off except at the end of the first season, we have Emperor Tang drive his sword through Fei Fei who had been force fed Black Pearl which made her into one of the insane soldiers that The Zodiac Kingdom is trying to defeat, but because of having so much power from being the master of Ophiuchus, she was almost a "power bank" to give strength to their enemies. Given that information and thinking there was no second season, we assumed that Emperor Tang just murdered the love of his life (even though he basically banished her after finding out she was a Ophiuchus), but instead she somehow survived and was chained up in the dungeon.

What got my upset about the beginning of this drama was how literally everyone was hesitant after the whole possession thing, understandably, but the one person who should have had faith in her and should have saved her, was the one who pushed away the most. He allowed everyone else to save her, while sneaking in to see if she was ok. I was honestly surprised how quickly she forgave him. And I feel like that is what this season was about. Yes there was the plot that they found out that the people of Orion, not Ophiuchus, were the ones that were behind the poisoning and possession of the Ophiuchus people as well as the reason for the late emperor's death. And everyone was trying to find evidence and stop them, but ultimately getting into more trouble. BUT that was all overshadowed by Fei Fei and Emperor Tang's cringy attempts of figuring out their relationship as well as all the other zodiac members wanting to find love as well. Which is fine, but it felt almost unnecessary with the ending we got. From season one, Virgo and Leo finally found some common ground and they ended up getting together before Fei Fei and Tang as well as advancing their relationship. They were cute, but I didn't understand why (spoiler) they made her pregnant because we were never going to see the birth of their baby given the time frame of when it happened and that insane climax and ending. I mean it is cute how far they both came to having a child together, but unnecessary. Then we have Cancer and Chen from season one - Chen being in love with Fei Fei, and continuing to be in love with her in this season, and Cancer being in love with Chen since childhood. I felt bad for Cancer as she was trying to get him to fall in love with her, but I enjoyed how they didn't force their relationship as I believe Chen loved Fei Fei, maybe even more than Emperor Tang. It wasn't until the climax when I thought it was a little forced, but still it wasn't like they kissed and realized they loved one another. I believe if they did end up making them fall in love, my rating would have gone down. I don't like forced relationships especially when it happens after a person was still in love with another. Like homie, that's a rebound. Cancer would have been the rebound. Third, we have Prince Tang aka Aquarius who had fallen in love with Orion's princess after she had tricked him and kidnapped him. He has such a good heart and believes that everyone deserves a second chance to be happy and I felt like this season revolved the most around him and Xia Bing (Bing Bing). I wasn't the biggest fan of her, but yeah I get it. She had loyalty to her people and family. In a way, she caused a lot of death in the final episodes and it hurt seeing the prince hurt. I think he had the WORST fate out of everyone in this drama which hurts a lot because he was and still is my favorite character. I think this season made me realize that I am leaning more towards dislike for the emperor, especially in that final fight scene where he sucked at fighting and didn't event try to survive to see his bride again. Finally, I think my favorite relationship, which wasn't even a real one, just an insinuated one towards the end of the drama was between Aries and Sagittarius. Sag was possessed most of the time in this drama and Aries wanted to know what love was like where I kind of felt that Gemini might have had a mentor student crush on him. It wasn't until the end when I got major vibes that Sag loved Aries and it was heartbreaking that they weren't able to explore it after the "Red Wedding."

I've seen this plot in many dramas which made me scared to watch another drama like this because I was scared of the ending. But I thought that because this drama was light and fun that the ending would be as well. But then after the whole Red Wedding scene...I got scared again. And I did appreciate the happy ending, but it didn't make sense to me.

Ending Spoiler - do not read if you want to watch the drama and don't want to know the ending

After her and her people saved everyone who had been killed including all zodiac members, Fei Fei and her people were drained of their power and started to disappear. There was a very emotional and intense scene that broke my heart as the Emperor shared one final kiss with his bride of only a few hours, while being encircled by all the zodiac members/close friends until she finally disappeared. After everything, she finally regained consciousness in her world and went back to her normal life as an intern at the hospital, but struggled as she didn't know if anything was real, yet knew her love for the emperor and her friends were real. Then, after realizing it was the day of Ophiuchus, she ran to the hill top thinking something would happen and she would be connected to the people she loved. Instead, she runs into Jia Cheng who is the cpop idol from season one who she mistaked the prince for when she first met him. Now, she mistakes Jia Cheng for the man she loved, and he completely serves her. After, when Fei Fei was about to lose all hope, she hears Emperor Tang's voice and turns around to see him standing there in modern clothing and full memories. Fei Fei then runs into his arms and the drama ends.

I appreciated this ending so much. In other dramas, once the lead came back to the present, the only happy ending they get is meeting a reincarnation of the man she loved, excited to fall in love with him all over again, only her keeping the memories of their love. Personally, I don't consider this a happy ending because it puts so much pressure on the present day love interest to be exactly like this man from the past and not know about it. I liked this ending because he still had his memories and they could pick up where they left off, but this ending left me with more questions. Did he just remember that he loved her? Or did he remember everything including being emperor? Was he always in this world, being a doppelganger of Jia Cheng or were him and the other Zodiac members transported and added? We did see a little flashback of the day before she was transported in ep 1, of bumping into Chen at the hospital, Leo being the taxi driver, and the Prince being the guy who got hit on the bike. The ending we got was extremely ideal, but it left so many questions they didn't need to answer, but I wanted answered.
