Well, at least it was better than the first? But still just meh. At the end of season one, Chu Xia had been tricked during her college's campus beauty contest and was kidnapped, while a familiar face is introduced this season, Han Qi Lu's ex, Xiang Man Kui. This season, Chu Xia is finally comfortable in her own skin and knows her worth, and has no time for BS. Han Qi Lu now struggles this season know that he knows he likes Chu Xia and finally knows he has to put in an effort to try to win her over (none of this random confession bull in the middle of arguments) as well as trying to figure out his feelings for Xiang Man Kui. I did enjoy in this one that he always knew that he liked Chu Xia, and only wanted Xiang Man Kui is just a friend (after Chu Xia told him that it wasn't healthy to hold a grudge against her), but I also hated that Han Qi Lu was ignorant of the fact of how Chu Xia might feel about his relationship with her. I mean Han Qi Lu is just an oblivious guy so I didn't expect much from him, which is why he was so low on my "suitor" list in my last review, but I thought he was have a little common sense. Chu Xia is a nice girl who puts everyone's happiness in front of her own - When Xiang Man Kui came back, she saw how much she was struggling and how she used to be in Chu Xia's shoes, the Han family taking care of her when her family died. She struggled with not wanting to help Xiang Man Kui, afraid that Han Qi Lu and her would rekindle their romance, but knowing that she couldn't be selfish. But I also don't blame Chu Xia for being in a terrible way - Han Qi Lu gave her ZERO confirmation that him and he was not into Xiang Man Kui. To me, it is like if some guy tells me they like me, but out of nowhere their first love comes back and they start hanging out at school and after school and they start to extend invites to me to hangout with them and during those hangouts, they treat you like a third wheel. Then the guy getting mad at me, when I start to decline hangouts. But the one thing I hated to most, was when people confronted Han Qi Lu about it and asked who he liked, and he couldn't answer. If you can't answer that simple question, you have no right to get mad at Chu Xia for not wanting to be on a threesome date and wanting to hangout with her friends. Regardless if she is hanging out with other guys, at least she had the audacity to tell them that she didn't like them and that they were only friends. It wasn't fair for Chu Xia always having to explain herself and go out of her way to tell Han Qi Lu not to worry because she didn't like people more than friends, but he couldn't do the same for her.

Also, I think I am also a little bias because I am not a fan of the actress who plays Xiang Man Kui, Yang Zhi Ying. And it is nothing personal against her. I just feel that she pops out of nowhere in dramas I watch, and I just dislike her characters. In The Brightest Star In The Sky, she played Kexin, who just did not get a clue when Boxu did not like her, but she still bothered him acting like she was going to get a proposal. Then against in My Amazing Boyfriend 2, Bai Lu, being this emotionless character who was obviously a spy for an organization that was bad news, and knew about it, but played along because she was in love with the organizer. Yes, she always seems to redeem herself at the end, including this one, but I hated the journey to get there. In this drama, in the first season, she seemed like the perfect girlfriend to Han Qi Lu, until the day she just disappeared on him, but in this season we learn a lot more about her and about her departure. We also learn that she is willing to do anything to get Han Qi Lu back into her life.

Even though I said that this drama was the better than the first, I gave it the same review because of the ending. Not to spoil anything, but I would like to let everyone know what they are getting into before they watch this. If you want to watch 2 seasons, 23 eps a piece, around 20-25 minutes long, about a boy and a girl finally admitting to one another that they like one another, than this is for you. No, "I love you" or "I want to be with you forever" or "marry me?" Nope, just a "I like you," and then end credits. Like....really? cool. So now what? Everything that caused issues in the beginning of the ep haven't been solved. Also, the reason to chase after her at the end was because you found out that she made a deal to save your family from bankruptcy...like she hadn't been helping you with the issue in little ways throughout season two. Did you not...care? Side note, one of the things I hated about Han Qi Lu is how he ALWAYS went to Xiang Man Kui when he needed help with his family business or he just needed someone to hangout with or talk to, but got mad when Chu Xia didn't go to him for the same thing. Such a double standard, there is no way I would have fallen in love with Han Qi Lu.

But I would have to change my list now. I mean for obvious reasons too without spoiling anything. Honestly, the only two people that could be on my list are Han Qi Lu and Ling Han Yu. I do love Feng Shao, but he made it 100% clear that he was completely over Chu Xia when he started to date another girl in season one, and seems head over heels for her even though we only see her in random scenes. It also seemed that Han Qi Lu's only competition this season would be Jiang Chen Chuan, but for obvious reasons, that would never work out. Honestly, poor Jiang Chen Chuan. He was head over heels for Chu Xia, and would have made a much better boyfriend, but that is a bridge that could never morally be crossed. Such a weird twist. Wasn't expecting it at all. As for Ling Han Yu, he kind of disappeared this season, but when he was around, he had completely accepted the fact that Chu Xia would not chose him and would try to help out his boy Han Qi Lu and Chu Xia be together. Such a homie, and more of a dreamboat than Han Qi Lu.

This drama was needed though. After watching so many dramas, I have found patterns and differences between Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese dramas as well as the big budget dramas vs webdramas. I am sure that there are so much different genres in this drama universe as well, but I have found little charms in each of these sub genres and a webdrama is always a great cure after a big budget.

Would I rewatch this drama? Nah. Would I recommend it? Probably not. Was it needed as a simple and cute filler drama? Yea.
