I'm dissatisfied and disappointed with the outcome
I was really looking forward to season 2 and I was actually quite disappointed with the outcome. I found it boring (no offense) compared to the first season which I hope would have another season for more Tong Nian and Han Shangyan scenes. I was not totally satisfied with this season and I somehow found it dull and pretty boring. Idk if it was just because of the pandemic that they had to lessen the cast but it did not really seem as lively as the first season. The old K&K was very lively and fun unlike this season's K&K. 97 and One were the only one's left from the original cast from K&K except for Han Shangyan and Wu Bai. I missed the times when they would always put Demo into trouble or put him as a bait because they were all afraid to approach Shangyan. I was also quite disappointed that Han Shangyan had only a few appearances in this season. To think that he's the boss of K&K. I know that this season is revolving in DT & Appledog's love story but he needed more appearances but all there was was his voice through calls and all. Even in the competition, since he was the boss, he had to be there. The other Solo members were there, they got together but he wasn't in the picture which actually made me sad.Not to be rude but tbh, I just forced myself to finish this one because I was looking forward to Tong Nian and Han Shangyan's appearances plus 97, One and Grunt's crazy antics. Though I was also disappointed with the changing of casts. Honestly, during the first episodes, I was actually lost with who was who because most of the casts from season 1 were already gone and they had different ones in this season. I actually needed the guide first to know who the casts were portraying so that I could cope with the story, plus the plot was somehow different so it was really hard to know who was who. It felt like a guessing game for me.
Also, I don't mean to offend Yi Tian but I was dissatisfied with his performance here. I was actually looking forward to Li Xian's guestings than his parts. I felt like HTY's role here was so boring and awkward. I know that DT's personality was really like that but since season 1 he seems to have been in a very very very awkward position. I felt like he was very stiff and I did not really feel their chemistry all that much compared to the one I felt just by looking at Li Xian and Yang Zi. Even if it was just a glance, I felt butterflies, but with Yi Tian, I did not feel anything at all. I dunno if the butterflies I felt for him in A Love So Beautiful have faded or I just got sick of him?
But overall, I was really disappointed with the outcome though I'm still rating it with 7.5 for a job well done and for the effort. I just wish there will be a season 3 that may focus on K&K and their married lives and I wish that they could relive the old lively spirit felt in K&K during season 1.

Very cute love story
I loved the story and Tong Nian and Han Shangyan are so cute together. Although there were times that I felt like they really did not show more of Tong Nian's intelligence and all, I'm quite satisfied with the outcome and I really need a third season with the original casts because the acting and the story was much better than the second one (don't mean to offend the season 2 cast ok) but yeah, and I need more of Yaya and Xiao Mi's love story. They are just sooo adorable.Overall, I do recommend this story for y'all. AAAAAAAAAA!!!!

THIS IS REALLY A MUST WATCH E-SPORT THEMED DRAMA!!!!
I SO LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! FROM THE CASTS, THE PLOT, THE PRODUCTION, EVERYTHING! THIS IS REALLY A MUST WATCH DRAMA AND I REALLY HOPE THERE WILL BE A SEASON 2.I have watched this drama for over 4 times already and i still can't get enough of them. Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao's chemistry is no joke!!! They will surely give you 100000% of sweetness that you'd feel that you want to pee on your pants. I'm not kidding. I literally rolled over my bed while watching the two of them. What i also love about the two is that their acting was really natural. Like they said in their interview before, this was their first team up together (HOPEFULLY NOT THE LAST) and they really just got to know each other better on set. And somehow that helped with their characters bc Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng did not know each other before as well. They started as strangers then friends who were always bickering with each other (seems like xk and cx irl tho HAHAHHA) before their love started to blossom. It came out naturally bc the leads also just got to know each other better on set.
OVER ALL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!
