*Watch the first season (The Eternal Love 1) before this one if you haven't done so already! The Eternal Love 2 does not make sense as a standalone drama.*

The storyline, albeit a similar synopsis with season 1, remains captivating. We are always rewarded with heartwarming love scenes along with funny ones that make you burst out laughing. I am very happy the same cast returned to work together for this season. The chemistry between the female and male lead is reflected prominently through their romantic scenes. In the previous season, the female lead acted out two different people with opposite personalities; this time it's the male lead's turn. It was a bit confusing distinguishing them in the beginning, but as I watched more episodes, it was apparent to me who was who. I am impressed with how the male lead is able to portray the two personalities well without being overtly over-the-top.

I really love the friendship and loyalty between Xiaotan and Jingxin. FINALLY, a drama where the female lead's friend or trusted one doesn't turn on her as time goes on. The soundtrack is beautiful and melodic--just as season 1's soundtrack was to me. Also, I'm usually not a fan of fight scenes because I get confused with there being a bunch of people swinging swords around lol. However, the uniquely choreographed fight scenes were very entertaining to watch.

I am so glad I picked up this drama series. The first top reviewers seem to prefer the first season more, but I like both seasons 1 and 2 equally. Besides, without one, there is no other. As long as you're prepared with tissues, you'll love the journey The Eternal Love 2 takes you through.

(I feel a bit sad now that it's over, but I can't wait for what comes in season 3! )
