After watching season one I decided to take mikimika101's advice and watch only season two's special edition instead of the regular one. I really liked We Best Love season one and I must say, that season two didn’t let me down. Just like in season one it had some really big strong suits and then some things that could’ve been better.

I am going to start with cinematography, because I think that it’s actually one of the biggest strong suits of the We Better Love series. The filming is just phenomenal, not to mention all the post production work. It has great shots with beautiful angles! The scenes are just long enough to convey everything that needs to be said. The pacing is just as good as in the previous season. If talking about color palette, then in season one we could see more warmer colors and the scenes were more airy and soft. In season two however the colors are colder and blue plays an important role in the scene. I noticed that quite many of the important scenes are filmed during the night time. And lastly the music of this show is just beautiful and suits the whole show so much. It’s clear from both seasons that cinematography is really thought through by the crew.

The second thing this series excels in is acting. Yu and Sam stole the whole show for me. I already loved Yu’s acting in season one and I still can’t believe that it’s his first acting job. In this season we can see him do some very difficult emotional scenes with such masterfulness. There are scenes where his posture, eyes and dialogue all give different emotions and signals to the viewer. Just amazing! As for Sam, in season one I couldn’t really see how great he actually is. It was mostly because I think that in this season he had much more challenging scenes and he nailed them. Can we all talk about the drunk scene or all these scenes where he tried to ask for forgiveness and a second chance, while also portraying him knowing that maybe he doesn’t deserve them. Just brilliant! They took quite a cliche storyline and made it their own just with their acting. I also want to mention their chemistry, which was good already in the first season but in this one it’s even better. The office scene, where Shu Yi talks about his love for Shi De, and the bedroom scene, where they get back together, are just two great examples!

As I mentioned, the storyline itself is not anything very new - because of lots of misunderstandings the couple have broken up and are now trying to get their way back to each other. And of course we get a father who basically tries to keep them apart. This season mostly revolves around the theme about trying to get back the love you have lost. It also deals with miscommunication, misunderstandings, presuming and betrayal. I do have to thank the writers for not turning Shu Yi's father into this one dimensional evil character. Instead we actually get an understanding why he acted the way he acted. In a way I found his father and Shi De quite similar. They are both blinded by the love and care they have for Shu Yi and therefore they think that they know what is best for him. I really enjoyed seeing Shu Yi stand up for them and tell them that he can make his own choices. I think one reason why I like them getting back together in the end is because of how the writers dealt with it. Everything didn’t go immediately back to normal and their past was not pushed aside. Instead they both acknowledged what had happened between them and didn’t shy away from asking more questions and explanations in order to understand each other better. The way it was all written made their relationship seem healthy even after everything they went through. As a viewer you can really get a sense that their love will last moving forward. However, I do have to point out that their storyline had some plot holes and illogical things in it, but they didn’t take too much away from the show. Also the whole stealing of Alpha storyline felt a little bit out of place.

The side couple in this season was a little bit of a surprise for me. I was hoping to finally get a better understanding of Bing Wei and Zhe Yu’s relationship, but we barely saw them. In season one I was really confused whether they were actually together or not. And in this season I didn’t get any smarter until the very end when out of the blue we got a very anticlimactic proposal scene. Honestly, it was quite awkward in my opinion. They just hugged and nothing else. I didn’t see any chemistry between them and I am not sure they even kissed once during both seasons. Instead of their story, we got a very complicated story between Shou Yi and Zhen Xuan. I think that their story should’ve been a spin-off series on its own. It was way too complex to make it a side couple’s story. I like that they decided to include mental health into this series, but there were only six episodes in this season. It's way too little time for this story. I think that in the last episodes they took so much time from the whole episode, that they were more like a main couple. I wished we could've gotten more of Shu Yi and Shi De instead. Honestly I am not sure how I feel about their story - it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t also amazing. And in the end their scenes started to annoy and bore me a little bit.

In conclusion I felt that it had the same pros as season one and also quite the same cons. I do recommend watching season two if you liked season one. I probably wouldn’t rewatch it though. If I would watch it again, I would just watch the main love story and skip everything else.
