Depends on what you didn't like about Appledog's storyline in the first series. They recast Appledog and this actress has more chemistry with HYT. Maybe give it a try to decide. Opinions are sort of polarized here because the Appledog & Dt couple is really different from HSY & TN so the vibe of this season is very different from GGS1.

I recommend watching without watching 1. Some of the cast changes are confusing people lol. I can confirm that the details about the characters will be explained as you keep watching.

If you love GGS1, it's best to treat it as an unrelated drama because there are many cast changes and the tone is pretty different. Ai Qing and Wu Bai are a lot more restrained sort of characters than HSY and TN. Ai Qing is the same character as in GGS1 but closer to the novel Ai Qing who is only 2-3 years older then Wu Bai.

It was gaming in the novels. Season 1 did not pass censorship for television broadcast so they made a quick edit to CTF. Season 2 planned ahead for censorship issues and changed it to robotics.

Hope you enjoy it!

The novel is sooo good, funny too. Bai Lu and Xu Kai are great as the leads in the drama but warning they added too much filler.

It is lighter than most military dramas, most of it is academy hijinks. His character is a lovable brat, probably his best role so far!

Yes the first two books are about Dt and Appledog's love story, the third book is the spin off that was adapted into GGS1

I wanted to like this more than I did. If you are a fan of Chris Wang, check it out because he did a good job with his role.

Thank you for sharing this!

Oh yea the cats :) I love that the posters even have their names on them- da bing & xiao cong

YES!!! like TKA because they are both pro gamers + Love O2O for the romance

Kailin's descriptions are perfect. ML is a charming jerk with a soft side. FL is young with some naive traits but not stupid. This FL is a skillful gamer who can stand on equal footing with the ML. This is one of my favorite gaming stories.

His hair looks great in Arsenal Military Academy!

I agree with the other two comments here. GGS2 eventually explains everything you need to know. Also, GGS2 is focused on different characters from GGS1. The main characters in GGS2 didn't have much story in the other season.

Seeing a lot of posts about how it is to hard to transition with the changes, it's better not to watch GGS1. Like the novel, GGS2 slowly reveal details about the past. There are some things that are hinted at in the first couple episodes and you might think you needed to watch GGS1 but you don't.

I have also observed people who loved GGS1 having trouble reconciling some differences in GGS2 so I agree with putting it off. In fact, GGS2 is so different that some people who didn't like GGS1 are enjoying it more. If you dropped GGS1 maybe you will like this better!

Also, there are some things that are unexplained in the beginning, don't assume it's because you need to watch GGS1. Things will be explained as the drama continues. This is how it was in the books too, little pieces about the past were spread out throughout the books.

I don't think you have to watch Go Go Squid first because the novel for this drama comes before the novel for Go Go Squid

The author wrote an epilogue for them and it's been translated into English http://bookbychapters.com/a-beautys-smile-is-also-charming-part-1/
