Its all a series of break-ups and make-ups
It's said that very many romantic dramas have a start, a middle and a 3rd act break up followed by the happy ever after. If you want to know what a third act breakup looks like, its all this movie.
Xie Yan, enamored with Shu Nian, showers him with attention, while Shu Nian, wary of a heartbreak, attempts to maintain a cautious distance. The film navigates through a series of break-ups and make-ups, evolving into what even the characters themselves acknowledge as a game. The plot cleverly explores the intricacies of their love, presenting a roller coaster of emotions.
What continues from the 1st movie is the strong chemistry between the two main characters. Shu Nian is in love with Xie Yan irrespective of the number of times he breaks his heart while Xie Yan remains helpless to convince Nian about his true feelings. Our two main leads have portrayed these emotions brilliantly through their stellar performances. However, where this movie falters is the lack of character depth. Shu Nian and Xie Yan appear to be one dimensional wherein one is always distressed anticipating the relationship to fall apart at every step while the other struggles to keep it going without clear communication with his love ineterst. This makes the movie predictable as we already know how the characters will react to a given situation. There is a lack of character development deeply hampering a deeper connection with the leads.
This movie however does a great job of taking us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. There are multiple moments where we see the characters sharing their love for each other only for the next moment to dampen their relationships. Other than Shu Nian, every other character seems to be interested in jeapodizing their relationship including Xie Yan.
In conclusion, if you've invested in the characters from the first part, this sequel is a necessary watch to witness the resolution of their turbulent love story. The commendable performances elevate the experience, even within the confines of a somewhat foreseeable narrative.
