Season 1 was everything. I mean I made sure to pause it before I left the room. I couldn't wait to watch the rest of it. I savored on every episode like a 5 course meal. The characters were smart, funny, beautiful and amazing actors. Season 2 was deeply disappointing to me. First of all the start over of the same story was just not creative at all. I mean , my first thought was maybe they intended for Chai Xiaoqi to be thrown in an alternate universe. I couldn't figure out what was happening and why everyone forgot. Like it didn't make sense. All the characters appeared a bit docile than in season 1. Like Assistant Han, in the first season he was very confident and likable. This new Assistant Han just makes me cringe. What happened :-(
