The Chinese drama "Long Tuong 2" has aired up to episode 15 with many important details according to the original novel.
However, the film received a lot of criticism for changing and cutting out too many details compared to the original. The keyword "Love School 2 Overly Modified" climbed to the top trending on Weibo.
In particular, the scene where Tieu Yeu ( Yang Tzu ) meets his mother again - one of the important highlights of part 2 - was commented as being overdone, the effect was not worthy of an S+ level movie with huge investment.
In the original novel, Tieu Yeu meeting her mother again in the peach garden was a big milestone, helping her untie the knot in her heart and affecting her maturity. This scene is also depicted beautifully with the effect of flowers flying in the sky. But when filming, the scene was changed to an old house and there were only a few flower petals flying around Tieu Yeu.
There is information that the scene where Tieu Yeu meets her mother was originally left out by the film crew, but Duong Tu requested to keep it.
The audience was also dissatisfied when many important details of the character Do Son Canh, played by Dang Vi , were cut out to be transferred to another character.
In the original work, Tieu Yeu only brought Do Son Canh to burn incense for her parents. Canh knelt before Tieu Yeu's mother and she entrusted her daughter's life. But when filming, the person kneeling before Tieu Yeu's parents was Thuong Huyen (Truong Van Y), Canh just stood silently in the background.
Even Tuong Lieu (Dan Kien Thu) also had the plot of burning incense for Tieu Yeu's parents added as his future son-in-law role, while Do Son Canh was completely cut out.
The relationship between Tuong Lieu and Tieu Yeu has developed too much. Tuong Lieu looked at the painting of Tieu Yeu's parents and imagined herself and Tieu Yeu together. Instead of Do Son Canh finding a way to solve the ancient worm for Tieu Yeu according to the original, this role in the film was transferred to Tuong Lieu.
The audience was upset because the scriptwriter made Dang Vi's role blurred, just like a "servant" following the female lead.
The number of viewers (views) of " The Love Story 2 " on Van Hop is currently losing to "You are more beautiful than starlight" by Hua Khai and Dam Tung Van. Duong Tu's movie aired again 2 days ago but could not surpass the mark. 40 million views. Before that, there was a day when it dropped to 25.52 million views.
The film recently opened on Douban with 6.6 points through 30,000 reviews, far behind part 1.
