Wow... Even in your summary those scenes sounded very impactful. Now, imagine if Yang Zi with her phenomenal acting was bringing the scenes to life... what a missed opportunity. It would've been reason number 19,384,279 for YaoLiu shippers to get their hearts broken, lol.
The whole of s2? Hahaha main characters have been written OOC from the book i dont know where to begin. Main plot…
Wow thanks for such a detailed response! It kinda makes me want to huddle down and binge the novel... ugh I don't think I can handle all the angst again. If anything I just might push through just to see Jing be more "impactful" as you put it, lol. xD
To sum it up, S1 was gold standard but S2 left a lot to be desired. I appreciate you breaking it down each character and how they differed. It makes sense that the book is more fleshed out compared to a TV show, but I definitely get why book fans wouldn't be happy with the final product knowing what they know about the original source material.
XL and XY also supposedly spend a night together, although I'm not sure if sexual intimacy is implied or simply…
I kinda get why they cut some YaoLiu scenes (however much my shipper heart suffers lol) because XL was so devoted to her that if they showed all of their interactions/near misses people would've have a harder time being okay with it being Jing... IMO Sad, but thanks for the spoiler!
How do we answer you this? LOL its really not a question that can be handled even with an essay answer... My short…
I sometimes go back and read the original work. For this one... I'm not sure. I kind of want to read it still, yet at the same time since I now know the ending/wasn't a YaoJing fan... I might not want to go through all that angst for him to be the final guy again. *shrugs* It depends on if since you said that the plot deviations were detrimental to the story, I feel like I'd getting a better experience from the books. (Mind you, I LOVED S1... not so much S2.)

Care to expand on how you felt like S2 was OOC from the book? I read a spoiler that was responded to my question about the dream sequence, but other than that were there any big scenes (with the other guys) that were left out, that in your opinion would've improved the story overall. (XL or Jing scenes)

If you had to pick one big scene change between book to show per character, what would they be? Also, the CX scene was INTENSE so that made perfect sense to have been adapted from the book. Shame, since I'd have liked to see the scene you described play out...
There are quite a few in S2. I think someone asked this below. Generally speaking, between the two seasons, I…
Not that I specifically found anything missing, it's just common sense that EVERYTHING that transpired in the novel probably wasn't brought to life in the live-action. S2 was *somewhat* disappointing compared with the 10/10 rating I gave season 1, so I just wanted to see what was different in the original version compared.
Question for LYF book readers: What were the changes from book to screen? I just finished the show so I gladly welcome your spoilers. :) Also, do you think *not* incorporating these book scenes were detrimental to the drama?

Is The blossoming love really your most favourite one? I'm dying for it too. I've read the novel (and since this…
I'd say yes, TBL is in my top 5 highly anticipating! The story sounds like an interesting watch. Also, I'm really excited for Sun Zhen Ni in her first female lead role since I really liked her in Till the End of the Moon, the poster even reminds me of her character in that drama haha. I agree with you that there's definitely lots to look forward to in TBL and *fingers crossed* it'll be a good one! :)

My broken little YaoLiu heart can't recover as is.
