Plot Synopsis
At the age of 28, Sheng Kaixin went bankrupt, lost his job and was chased for debts. Standing at the lowest point of his life, he好不容易found a job but encountered something incredible. On the first day of work, he stood trembling at the door of the villa with a custom-made suit in his arms. The moment he saw the CEO, Senho, he was struck by lightning - that cold and handsome face was clearly his childhood friend, Gu Yisen, who had left without saying goodbye ten years ago. "You're fired." Gu Yisen's eyes looked at him like a stranger, and since then he began to刁难Sheng Kaixin. However, "Kaixin" is the key to Sheng Kaixin's life, and many哭笑不得scenes were staged between them. (Note: 好不容易 can be translated as "with great difficulty"; 刁难 can be translated as "make things difficult for"; 哭笑不得 can be translated as "both funny and annoying" etc. The translation may need to be adjusted according to the specific context and more accurate expressions.)
Audience Reviews
This sequel is not bad, right?
还不错
General Manager Gu, settle down in Hangzhou and get familiar with it slowly. I actually got teary-eyed.

I finished watching it all at once last night. The whole drama is so cute. I like it so much... The follow-up before the end of this summer, very fresh and funny little stories, with the routine of amnesia but an anti-routine development, and good quality. I really had a great time watching it.
Cute
The texture of the horizontal-screen short drama is very good. Friendship theme "Sheng Kaixin, are you happy today?" Sensen, who finally has a human touch after retrieving his memories.
Haha, So funny!
With a total length of about one hour and forty minutes, which is comparable to a movie, it has a complete narrative, doesn't have explosive plotlines or episode divisions, offers a very smooth viewing experience, and has proper emotional and context setup. Mainland Chinese entertainment and other short dramas should really learn from it. Overall, it's a very interesting buddy comedy. It is recommended to watch the previous work "Before the End of This Summer" first.
The CP feeling is really crucial. Changing actors is truly hurtful, but the director's level is still quite good. Keep up the good work!
2024 - 2025 China Before the End of This Summer: 02. (2025) Season 2 Happy, happy Before the End of the Summer (40): It doesn't feel as amazing as the first season. The first season had a fast - paced narrative and a smooth plot. Due to scheduling conflicts related to outstanding work, the lead actor was changed to Kou Weilong. However, Kou Weilong is not suitable for playing a character with a poker face and requires some acting skills. Kou Weilong's acting skills are relatively average. He would be okay in an ordinary idol drama, but he is really not suitable for playing the role of a ruthless domineering CEO, and there is some overacting and artificiality. So, he seems out of place with the other main actors. But personally, I also think that if Zhuo Yue were to play, it would still be less than satisfactory. He is more suitable for youth dramas. I still don't think it's appropriate for him to play the domineering CEO. So, the design of the second season doesn't seem very good.
In terms of the plot, the first few episodes are okay, but it becomes very weak in the middle and late stages. It would be much better if it were shortened to the length of the first part. There are too many unnecessary dialogues and plots in the later part, which greatly affects the narrative rhythm and makes it feel very drawn out. In terms of the soundtrack, the theme song is actually nice, but it's not very catchy. It only lasts for 2-3 minutes in each of the 40 episodes, and it's inserted in the middle of each episode, which really causes auditory fatigue. At first, I quite liked this song, but later I just wanted to skip it out of boredom. In terms of the actors, Jing Yanjun and Niu Zemeng's performances still maintain the level of the previous part and are very lively. Zhuo Yue's scenes are still wonderful. However, the newly added actors Kou Weilong and Wang Shengyun are obviously out of place and their acting skills are far inferior to Jing Yanjun and Niu Zemeng, which greatly affects the viewing experience. Having said so many deficiencies, let's talk about the advantages of this one. The editing and camera work of this one have made progress compared to the first part. For a short drama, it is already a very fresh and smooth work. Generally speaking, it's not bad, but it's really not that good either.
I really like the director. The filming is very good!!!
Unexpectedly, it's a short drama with good acting skills and it's kind of funny. The way Mr. Gu pretends to fall to the ground each time is excellent!! The happy actor looks a bit like Zhang Ruoyun. So cute.
Clicked in thinking it was a short drama with two male leads, but it's actually in landscape format. The camera transitions are well done. It feels like a short drama with good quality. Happy to see Lü Liang from the drama version of *One Piece Under Heaven*. There was no AI in 2015. Talking about the importance of AI, haha. The actor who played Gu Yisen has also acted in two gay dramas. Turns out there's also an upper part. Goodness, it's not two male leads after all. Hongguo has started producing high-quality short dramas. Give it four stars as encouragement.
The director is extremely talented. He does all the work of writing, directing, editing, and color grading by himself and does a great job.
Haha, So funny!
Unexpectedly, the story of that summer can continue.
After reading it, I'm not happy. Sure enough, in the world of adults, there is only helplessness. It's so good to be a young boy or girl. Everything is simple, straightforward, and reasonable.
