Lost You Forever S2 - A complete waste

Even though the s1 was such a gem in the Chinese adaptation dramas. Love-lines messed up, out of character on a large scale. After all, I don’t know what Tonghua - the script writer AND the AUTHOR of the original book - was thinking. She makes her heroine be some kind of a two timer, going push and pull with Bei in the morning and crying about how hard she feels to forget Jing in the afternoon. Why 🙂 we all know you are single now, XY, but we don’t need that trait from a heroine, right?

As if it would stop right there. A great deal of scenes were added to prove her situation-ship. She wears red wedding gown waiting at the Dragon Bone prison - where she and Jing promised to be together, claiming me wait for nothing (now starts the add-on) but her eyes brighten when she sees snow (means Liu is nearby). Girl, again you were crying over Jing the other day. Anddddd next, our Liu, unexpectedly (but somehow not that unexpectedly) appears on the screen, with a dashing, non-existent-in-the-novel red wedding gown, hands holding the goodbye-im-getting-married gift from Xiaoyao, looks so sad 😬 dude, are the daily demands of a general not heavy enough for you? you have time to hang out with XY in 2 different countries and now you just stand still gazing afar on the ocean???

And the trip to see XY's mom and bio dad. Gosh, originally only Haoling King, XY and Jing went. Now it is like a fellowship of the ring with even Cangxuan and Liu going. Jing, who was introduced to XY’s mom as the fiancé of XY, on his knees before her mom to show respect and gained her approval. In the drama funny thing he’s the only one who was not on his knees. well he doesn’t even get the chance to meet the mom before she dies. And Jing and XY, who want to kill the bug so much, don’t even think to ask the magicians (masters of bugs) when they are in the hood as they did in the novel. Well, let Liu-sama, appearing from nowhere, take care of this task.

And, the plot that Cangxuan is boss in the Jing assassination and all of its following developments, have been written as some kind of hallucination former Xiyan King created for him so he knows when to stop his hidden desire for XY 🤣 the boss now is his queen Xinyue, who is jealous and greedy but not a moron. Someone who cannot beat the power of Tushan-Xiling clans, now has the audacity and assets to support Tushan Hou in setting a trap and kill Jing - her own beloved first cousin. Funny, Tonghua.

And so so many scenes added/removed. I think most people in China who were fans of the novel and s1 are so mad when at least 3 main characters (Xiaoyao, Cangxuan, Jing) are so nerf and OOC that the views go down, like, to the hell compared with s1, which is tbh beyond every bloggers’ forecast. even fasttrack (the release of 6 final eps for those paying) cannot save the view. The hotsearch “ill adaptation - LYF” on Weibo (Chinese social media) is on, showing great disappointment of the fans.

Such a shame with those casting. All I have to say, capitalism is scary with its star boosting scheme 😅

the comedy of nian unemployed memes isnt just from the bad arknights ads, nor is it in how both her shut in sister and perpetually drunk sister have more paperwork and cooperation done with rhodes islands to where both are official members in their database while nian is considered a hobo who hangs around, its not in how the other two siblings are literal vagabonds just travelling the road with nary a cent to their name but still vastly more respected for their contributions to the communities of terra, its not even in how nian has a side hustle as a movie director making exclusively home movies on rhodes islands own budget

the comedy of nian unemployed memes is in how she can be commissioned by the government to build them a gundam mobile city slash artificial machine god and every single one of her siblings (even the ones working on it) will see it and still say "when are you gonna stop being a lazy bum we know this isn't any challenge to you"

it's so nice to see my boy again, and to put him back into (more of the same) situations

Something I find funny is people taking Nian’s “my body burns at over 1,400 degrees” line at face value and literally. She’d be actively terraforming a lot of the places she stands on for a bit. She’d be setting things ablaze by proximity alone. You believed the unemployed charlatan’s impish tricks. If Nian told you her uncle at Nintendo gave her a cheat code to play as Yoshi naked, you’d believe it. You are Lava.

Nian

[kc5rings]

A little something to celebrate a years worth of Muzzle Mondays with the subject that most often came to mind for me this past year, Wish once again knocking it out of the park.

That century of solitude guarding a door is one of the most compelling things about Nian’s story to me, and I look forward to learning more about what exactly that was about

As always, Happy Muzzle monday!
