The romance is much more steamier in this one compared to the first, (and there are a lot more kisses, yay!) but the main reason why I loved this second series compared to the first one is how much Zhu Shu grew.

It was in this season (but especially that last episode) where he finally showed the audience how much he really loved Xiang Qing, without any internal monologue I might add! We see a softer side to his character, we see him scared, anxious, and unsure of himself. It is through our female lead, that he becomes a real person with real emotions. If you’ve watched the first season but want to watch the second season and you’re debating on it - GO WATCH IT. NOW.

If you haven’t seen the first season yet... what are you doing? GO WATCH IT. NOW.
