According to the latest update on Douban, the average score of the Chinese TV series "The Same School 2" has dropped to 6 points, with nearly 75,000 reviews. Half a month ago, the film first opened its Douban score with 6.6 points through 30,000 reviews.
This is a serious decline in achievement compared to part 1 of the work. Last year "Like School" part 1 recorded a score of 7.8 with 417,000 reviews.
Netizens predict that the Douban score of "Love School 2" may soon drop to average, because the movie is still receiving a lot of criticism. Many people were even "shocked" to learn that the two parts of the movie were filmed at the same time, just the broadcast schedule was 1 year apart.
Due to regulatory regulations, Chinese television dramas do not exceed 40 episodes, and each season is not broadcast continuously. Therefore, even though "The Same School" has finished filming, it must be divided into 2 parts (part 1 has 39 episodes broadcast in 2023, and part 2 has 23 episodes broadcast in 2024).
However, in contrast to part 1, which was well received and became one of the hottest Chinese dramas in 2023, part 2, when it aired, was disappointing.
The audience said that "Love School 2" was too adapted, many details were very different from the novel. The plot of male lead Thuong Huyen (Truong Van Y) is superficial, while the film mainly focuses on the love story of female lead Tieu Yeu (Yang Tzu).
Yang Zi 's character Tieu Yeu was criticized for having ambiguous feelings for many men at the same time, losing the value of the original character.
Dang Vi's fans were upset when his character Do Son Canh had many important scenes cut and was transferred to male supporting actor Tuong Lieu (Dan Kien Thu).
Another opinion is that, with the increasingly poor quality in the final stages, if "The School of Love" was not divided into two parts, it could have become a disaster.
