Once you start you won't be able to stop~
Let me begin by saying that I really did not like season 1 of Fourever You, I rated it 7 stars and that was being generous. Season 2 though, ooh this season was a whole different ballgame.
Beside the Sky (eps 1-8) was an absolutely devastating story to watch unfold. Completely gut-wrenching, the actors (especially Tonliew) did such an amazing job. If you like heartbreak and family drama this one is for you. The way Typhoon's depression is depicted here and the abusive relationship he has with his father and how that affected his mental health is so well done, the writing team did a really great job while handling such a sensitive topic.
The Sun From Another Star (eps 9-16) while, having it's serious moments, was more light hearted. Honestly the ghosts were a great subplot. I wish there'd been more ghost shenanigans throughout the story, but once the initial ghost subplot is wrapped up and the romance plot begins the ghosts become a nonexistent footnote. I really enjoyed all the characters in this story though, the dads were fun and Arthit and Dao's relationship building was great to watch. I don't typically go for hate to love plotlines, but Arthit grows on you like mold and you can't help but fall in love with his stupid antics.
Winter Season (eps 17-24) was the story I was looking forward to most. I really like tsundere characters, so Tiger being a mafia boss son and also a giant sweetheart immediately grabbed my attention. I won't say I was disappointed, the story had it's highs and lows. The romance plot completely overshadowed the mafia subplot though to the point where anytime the mafia stuff came up it felt completely out of place. That being said though, the romance plot was an absolute delight. I really wish this story had more episodes, I feel like it would've benefited a lot if it'd been twelve episodes long instead of eight to help fully bring the mafia subplot to life. I still enjoyed the story though and I enjoyed how much care was put into Tiger and Nao's relationship.
General info for anyone wanting to know:
• Are the stories overlapping? No, not really. Some of the characters show up in other stories, but you don't have to watch one story to understand another and you don't have to watch them in order. They're all meant to be stand alone stories, just set in the same universe. You might consider watching a few episodes of season 1 just for context of the side characters, but other than that watch however you want.
• Is the series spicy/nsfw? Not even a little bit. It's mega fluff! Hugs, hand holding, cuddling in bed, forehead kisses, and all the cute stuff. All the intimate scenes are a pan away, fade to black type scenes.
• Are the books worth reading? Yes! The series follows the books very well, it's a near perfect adaptation. I've read Another Star and am almost done with Beside the Sky and I'm definitely planning on reading Winter Season next. If you can find a translation in your preferred language I would definitely recommend giving them a read.
