Lost? Me Too: Season 2 (2016)

Chloe was a tightly written, beautifully shot, well acted short drama. Each episode is 20 minutes long, but by episode 2, I was invested in the story and the characters. It's pretty much a melodrama, but doesn't drag on or feel too angsty. It questions what love is, who deserves it, and what its practical limitations are.

A short synopsis: the series follows Chloe (Nana Lee), a 30 year old starting to produce her first music/reality show. Meanwhile, a friend/musician Shi Qi (Liu Yi Hao) comes back to Taiwan after five years. Chloe goes to a concert with Shi Qi's daughter Yaya and finds musician Rex (Liu Yi Hao), and wants him for the show.
There's nothing more to add, as that would be spoilers.

I really enjoyed learning more about Shi Qi (Chris Wu) and Chloe's relationship as the story went on. There was enough tension in each episode to keep you wanting to watch the next. Since this is a drama about a music program, they of course have great music (with cameos from Liu Yi Hao's real band Morning Call !!!).

One thing I thought the show could do better was expand on Liu Yi Hao's character Rex. That being said, you can only do so much in such a short series run. Nana Lee's ending was slightly surprising, but overall it was realistic? ish. Rewatch value is low because it's a simple story. Then again, Chris Wu and Liu Yi Hao and Nana Lee are all beautiful people.....

I would recommend this drama to people who are looking for a well written, short Taiwanese drama with beautiful actors, or to people who (like me) are already fans of Chris Wu, Liu Yi Hao, or Nana Lee. If you're a fan, it's well worth a watch.
