Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high for The Blood of Youth season 2. Cdramas aren't consistently good with sequels, the people who make them don't seem to grasp what made the first season beloved and what themes/relationships they should revisit, and even if the whole cast returns, it might not be any good.

Rationally, I know this. I also know that Dashing Youth was solidly meh, and Blood River was interesting and beautiful, but messy.

But the heart wants what it wants. Give me more Found Family bromance shenanigans and people being unabashedly, wholesomely just and noble af!

same, OP, same...Dashing Youth was so meh I just gave up on it. But I really loved BoY

I couldn't bring myself to care about Ye Dingzhi, his character arc, or the romance. None of the romance was compelling to me, and IMO far more tedious than in Blood of Youth where it didn't take up as much time. I loved Li Changsheng/Nangong Chunshui as a character, though.

agreed

Valid, OP, valid. Especially after Imperial Coroner s2 dropped- I loved s1 but couldn't make it far at all into s2, the characters were barely the same and the mysteries/plot just terrible. (Under the Skin s2 was fine, but only barely that while s1 was amazing so still disappointing)

I loved Blood of Youth s1 but am very, very wary about what s2 is going to be like.

Aww, no. I hadn't gotten around to watching Imperial Coroner 2, but had high hopes because the first season was so cute. :(

So far, the only cdrama I've seen that seemed to work on the sequels (and it wasn't just a money grab capitalizing off the name and popularity of season 1) is Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty. They put in the effort to do a good job and entertain the fans and it shows.
