Continuation of the story about a wealthy and powerful guy who basically owns another guy.
STORY: I actually thought part 2 was a bit softer with the the master/slave dynamic. There still is a heck of a lot of possessiveness and jealousy in this. The company and family also play a big part in trying to separate Xie Yan and Shu Nian. This was more about Shu Nian fighting against all odds to keep Xie Yan. I really liked the continuation of the touching story from the first movie that happens between Xie Yan and Ke Luo, both orphans who were adopted by wealthy families. I rooted for their camaraderie. Sorry to say, the ending is soul crushing. You will cry. But there is great news! There is an alternate ending that is happy! Even if you hate sad endings, watch it first, then watch the happy ending.
ACTING/CAST: Very good, all played their parts naturally.
MUSIC: Typical for a drama, the Chinese vocals were not English subbed.
REWATCH VALUE: Yes, i'll watch it once more with a friend.
OVERALL: Besides the heartbreaks and tough times throughout the movie, it was worth experiencing this. The high production value, sharp cast and dialogue, made it worth the trip.
TL;DR: Shu Nian comes to realize Xie Yan is a person that he loves and has to defy all odds to keep him.
