This is a sequal that I very much looked forward to. With 2 very lovable characters: Feng Jiu and Di Jun, what could possibly go wrong? As expected, the chemistry between the actors was as great as I had expected. Furthermore, the biggest gripe I had with the first one, Eternal Love, which was the CGI, has improved by leaps and bounds. Though no Hollywood production quality by any means, the number of glaring mistakes had gone down significantly. However, the time line for this show was not any better than the first. One would usually use human lives as a point of comparison to see the age equivalent for various significant life events right. Well, apparently this would be of no use. Not only does it not follow the 'rules' created by the first film, but instead contradicts it. While this one does give a more complete ending to the romance between the 2 characters introduced in the first film, at times, the romance does seem excessive, and at others, the other aspects of the film are the ones that seem excessive instead. After all, it is a romance show. How I long for more emphasis to be placed on this area, perhaps even a slight slice of life esque show would make it a ton better. Still, at its current state, the culmination of the plot, cast, and cinematography come together to create a great film, perhaps even slightly edging over the first.
