yeah it's mostly due to comparison and there's significant characterisation and cast change, when some of the…
This is a sweet romance! I think it helps to go with without expectations that it will be a continuation of Season 1. This season starts before the events of Season 1. The first two novels in the series are about Dt and Appledog who are the leads for this season and their personalities are also a bit different from Tong Nian and HSY, so their romance will feel different too.
Since you liked Forever Love and are watching Dreaming Back to Qing, you'll probably appreciate Wang Anyu's addition here as Grunt. Some people are upset that his Grunt seems different from Season 1 but this is pretty true to the way he is written in the novels and the difference can also explained by the fact that some of this season shows an earlier time in his life.
Book readers: Who recruited Xiao Mi to KK, Wu Bai or Han Shang Yan?
I don't remember if the novel explicitly mentioned it. I would assume HSY did because he was close with Xiao Mi and even tried to recruit him right away when he retired from the other team.
Why does Wu Bai save Ai Qing's name as Frigg on his phone?
In the novel, Wu Bai studied in Norway for awhile and also uses the Norse goddess name Frigg to refer to Appledog. When he is with some Scandinavian gamers, they recognize that Appledog is his goddess, Frigg.
Hmm, I'm up in the air about this one. I wasn't interested in Appledog's storyline in the first series. I like…
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.
Slow as heck, great cast, long stares, cute moments. If that's what you generally like then go ahead.
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.
Honestly I don't like how there is no mention of ctf..its not like I hate the concept of robot combat and racing..i…
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.
Did anyone read the novel?how is fl and ml?is fl naive or smart?
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.
Can some kind soul please tell me stuff from go go squid that I need to know to watch this drama coz I haven't…
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.
quick question, do i need to watch go go squid s1 first to understand this drama?
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.
