The sequel to "Celebrating More Than Years", a work that has carried the expectations of countless audiences for five years, will finally meet the public in the early summer of 2024. However, when "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" officially unveiled, it brought not all joy, but more of an indescribable sense of disparity.
Thinking back to five years ago, "Celebrating More Than Years", which was depicted with a unique perspective and delicate emotions, swept the screen like a whirlwind as soon as it was broadcast, and the audience was overwhelmed by it and received rave reviews. It's not just a costume drama, it's a philosophical story about time, fate and choice. Every character, every plot, seems to have its own life, deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
However, time flies, and the sequel five years later failed to continue the glory of its predecessor. What the audience is looking forward to is the kind of story that can touch the heartstrings, and those vivid and in-depth characters. But "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" seems to have gone in the wrong direction, its character settings have become unfamiliar, and the plot development seems chaotic. In particular, those emotional threads that were supposed to continue have become vague and elusive in the sequel.
What's even more regrettable is that the sequel's shooting style and actors' performance also failed to achieve the desired effect. The original delicacy and truth have been replaced by exaggeration and artificiality, and the expression of emotions that should have been deeply rooted in people's hearts has become superficial. This change is difficult for the audience to accept, as if the work has lost its original soul.
Of course, we can't deny that "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" still has its own highlights and characteristics in some aspects. But as a sequel work, it obviously failed to meet the audience's expectations and aspirations for the previous work. This also makes us wonder: while pursuing innovation and breakthroughs, should we pay more attention to the inheritance and continuation of the spirit of the original work?
In general, although the broadcast of "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" has attracted some attention and discussion, it has not really touched the hearts of the audience. Perhaps, this is where we need to reflect on it: should we pay more attention to the quality and value of the works themselves while pursuing innovation and breakthroughs?
