So, while watching season 1, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Fighting For Love about?
Fighting For Love is an exciting Chinese drama set in ancient China based on the novel A Mai Cong Jun by Xian Cheng. This historical drama has everything from disguises and secret identities to revenge and forbidden romance. It follows the female general, A Mai who has made a name for herself due to her cleverness and strength. However, when she is betrayed by her best friend, Chen Qi who kills her whole family, she abandons everything in pursuit of revenge.
In comes General Shang Yi Zhi who finds himself in several complicated scenarios with A Mai grudgingly rescuing him. As their friendship blooms, she ends up joining his army to help him in the ongoing war. But as fate would have it, she also ends up interacting with the enemy general, Chang Yu Qing and as they end up surviving dangerous incidents together, they unwittingly strike a friendship.
Has Fighting For Love been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Fighting For Love has not been renewed for season 2.
While the C-drama industry is changing its format, we are yet to see multiple season shows. The appeal of Chinese dramas is the fact that they have one long season with the full story and give us a satisfactory or at least a complete ending. This seems to be changing albeit gradually.
There have been dramas like Joy of Life, Nirvana In Fire and Chinese Paladin getting sequels thanks to their roaring success. But they just may be an exception. It is unlikely that we will get Fighting For Love season 2 at the moment, especially since iQIYI C-drama sequels are a little rare.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Nothing is known since season 2 has not been greenlit. Since the show is based on a book, it more or less loosely adapts the same story. This means there is no new content to adapt from. And if you are a sucker for spoilers, you can read the novel for the ending.
But what we can spoil is that since the book has a sad ending, with the show going in a similar direction, the finale is bound to be bittersweet. So, we actually won’t mind if we get a season 2 where our favourite couple gets a definite and happy ending.
Of course, this is all speculation as there has been no official news regarding a second season. Keep an eye out for this section as we will update readers if there is any news.
