Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Again (2010)

SO MANY CHANGES HAPPENED. I'm not just referring to the fact that the actors who played Lan Gu, Li Li, two evil female classmates, Yu Xun's mom, Yun Hai's mom, and Lin Xiao Li were totally different but almost everyone had a 360 degree change of character. Just so you can understand more what I'm saying, Yun Hai's mom was just purely evil (given that this is still loosely based on HYD) in the first drama but she totally changed in this sequel and you wouldn't even know why or how because it just happened. Many plot lines ended up to be like that that you can easily say that the character developments and story were just poorly developed. I felt like they only made this sequel just for the sake of making a sequel.

Moreover, I thought that nothing could beat my hatred for Ye Sha from Meteor Garden 2 (the second female lead) but their version of Ye Sha or Jiang Yuan as she is called here is probably the worst 2nd female lead that I've ever watched in my history of watching dramas. I didn't even mind not watching her scenes as I was busy playing Candy Crush while her scenes were playing (lol I'm so harsh). Honestly, this was a chore to watch that it took me a long time to pick it up again after not watching for weeks but I can definitely credit my enjoyment at times to the chemistry of Zhang Han's Yun Hai and Zheng Shuang's Yu Xun. I'm already looking forward to watching their other dramas together!

There was really nothing new about the OST of the drama as it also used the same music in the first one with an exception of a few songs. I'm giving this a very low rewatch value because from what I've been through with this drama, I don't think I could ever stomach rewatching it. I'm just glad that I finished it already and just because I was just really curious on what would happen to Yun Hai and Yu Xun after the first drama. Folks, this is an example of a bad sequel and I hope you won't go through something like this ever (lol!)
