Hey Pro My Mountain Girl Second Season (2019)

Ah this is the season where the romance really kicks off. You don't have to wait too long for the leads to confess their love to each other. In fact, their love and their chemistry is why I kept watching it. There are so many cute moments with each other that you're always just so happy seeing them together and going through happy & tough times together. Though the main leads characters was kind of a pain in the first season, they've greatly improved in the second season.

But at last, where the love of the main couple blooms, so does the arrival of the evil 2nd leads, mostly the 2nd female lead. Her witchiness came out as soon as she discover her one sided love to the ML was taken away from the FL. I couldn't stand her but she's not as bad as your typical 2nd lead villain in Chinese dramas. She was just more annoying than evil. I'm just glad the female lead has a backbone to take on her and not easily be persuaded by her evil words and actions. The 2nd male lead wasn't that bad. He's a nice guy overall. He just always get the girl he likes taken away from his best friend which I kinda feel bad for him in a way.

Besides that, the plot is kinda boring and wasn't written well. The plot in this season continues to focus on the how to make the Green Mountain resort better and get more people to come visit, even though it felt like the good guys always suffer because their great attempts fail in the end. The female lead's character Mi Li really had no backstory at all which is weird because usually both the male & female lead have a backstory. It made it seemed like her character wasn't important at all. Shen Mo's story about his tragic past love didn't pull through for me. For a guy who's suppose to have a tough time finding a new love and moving past his old one, it didn't really seem like he struggled at all until maybe around Ep 10-11 (Ep 22-23 if you count it as 1 drama series not 2 seasons). And WTH? Why do Chinese writers always throw in a problem in the last few episodes? I feel like 90% of these dramas does this which ruins the pace of the drama (not that this pace was good anyways). Because of this, the final episode felt very rushed. You see all the great ideas this drama could've had squashed into a 30 min episode instead of evenly being spread out. It's a happy ending nonetheless but I don't know why this is a recurring pattern for a lot of Chinese dramas.

How the drama could've been more interesting: Shen Mo is a well known and competitive skier. He always loved skiing and was inspired by his fiance. But due to a tragic accident, Shen Mo lost his fiance. With the tragic lost, he lost the motivation in skiing and the competitions and decide to be an owner of a ski resort instead. 3 years later comes Mi Li, a skiing coach and a competitor who takes on the coaching role for the resort. Mi Li eventually learns the tragic past of Shen Mo and helps him face through it and recover and gets his feet back in skiing and the competition. Through the times together, they fall in love with each other and support each other in several competition races through the drama.

And that would've made this drama a whole lot better. But still it's not terribly bad. It's an average drama but with a lot of romance and cute scenes from the main leads. I mainly watched this because of the lead characters. It's not a bad drama but kinda hard to remember it though. Give it a shot if you have nothing else to watch.
