I watched About Is Love S2 (大约是爱2) simply because I have binged on the first season a couple of years ago. I still can remember bits and pieces of S1. So, it is more of curiosity on how the story would develop that I chose to give the sequel a go rather than any real interest. After all, the prequel is a pretty average drama to me.
