Part 1: What Are The Stories We Watch In A Second Chance At Love Chinese Drama?
What Do We See In Clara’s Past?
A Second Chance At Love full movie has Clara Lake living in two different worlds. At some points, she lives in the Lake family’s villa, signifying she comes from a wealthy family. Her father even conspires with her stepmother to marry her off to a rich man.
Clara wishes to resist her father’s arranged marriage scheme so badly that she retreats to the Grand Temple. After all, she has no interest in the modern and scientific world. So, she quickly rises as the Grand Temple’s 19th head.
As a result, she has access to superb spellcasting skills and medications. The Nine-Heavens Life-Extending Dew is one of her flagship medications. We can see Clara demonstrating the uses of the flagship medication in the first few episodes.
That’s when Taoist David Camp sent her out of the temple because of his prophecy to her! Clara can’t sit still, seeing some assassins brutally knocking a man off. So, she proceeds to heal the unconscious man after she beats up the assassins.
Later episodes confirm the man’s identity as Marvin Lane, the CEO of Lane Group. Surprisingly, he is also the man whom Clara’s father arranges for her marriage to. Mrs. Lane, a.k.a. Marvin’s grandmother, also does the same to Clara and Marvin’s relationship.
Mrs. Lane even gives the precious heirloom pendant after Clara rescues her from thugs. Since then, these parental figures have gone crazy in matching Clara off with Marvin!
How Does Marvin React To The Arranged Marriage Scheme And To Clara?
Further episodes of A Second Chance At Love Chinese Drama, show Marvin’s indifference to the arranged marriage scheme. He even invites Clara to the prestigious Moon Restaurant’s private dining room.
To make his gesture even more convincing, Marvin’s assistant, Hudson, even helps to drive his wheelchair. Hudson also arranges for Marvin’s other men to greet Clara with rose petals and other romantic props.
At this point, Hudson and Marvin haven’t realized Clara’s actual identity yet. After all, Clara sometimes acts roughly towards those two guys. Little does Marvin know that Clara was the girl saving him from the assassins.
So, we can expect to see Marvin’s acts of accusing Clara’s metaphysical plays. He even tries to use his guards to capture Clara. That’s like what he does to other women whom he is not interested in!
The only thing stopping Marvin from physically harming Clara is the emerald jade pendant on her neck. Plus, Hudson has paid for her medical expertise several times since the first episode. Those things are just the beginning for Marvin to realize his feelings for Clara!
Part 2: How Does The Story In A Second Chance At Love Chinese Drama Continue?
How Does Marvin Attract The Wrong Women Before He Returns To Clara?
Marvin Lane of A Second Chance At Love Chinese Drama might be a crippled individual. More precisely, the assassins’ attacks don’t only render him unconscious. The assassins’ acts of putting curses on his body also lengthen his recovery periods.
Still, as the Lane Group’s CEO, Marvin rarely loses his composure. We can also describe his personality as cold-hearted and objective. Those traits drive women crazy, and at the same time, the wrong women flock to Marvin.
The first woman flocking to Marvin is Josephine Gorden. She is Ray Gorden’s younger sister, and she feeds Marvin with a love potion by force. Then, she proceeds to seduce Marvin while nobody watches them.
We can be sure that Josephine’s movement is more politically than romantically inclined. That’s because Ray Gorden, her older brother, is dying to brush Marvin off. After all, Ray can’t cope with his failure in taking Marvin’s life through his assassins.
The second wrong woman is Elaine Lake, Clara’s stepsister. This woman is materialistic and opportunistic at the same time. She only wants Marvin’s wealth, and in doing so, she conspires with her mother.
What Does The Ending Narrate About Clara And Marvin’s Relationships?
The endings of A Second Chance At Love Vertical C-Drama involve one of the two wrong women. Indeed, Ray uses Josephine as his pawn to lure Clara and Marvin into their traps.
Once Ray no longer needs his younger sister, Ray uses his purple magic on Clara. That’s because he knows Clara has helped Marvin through her spellcasting abilities. In doing so, he starts by splashing water to prevent Clara’s spellcasting skills.
Then, he holds Mrs. Lane as his hostage and assaults her several times. He even remembers to send a photo of Mrs. Lane’s tied conditions to Marvin’s phone. He does it not only to threaten Marvin, but to exact his revenge as Marvin’s half-brother.
Killing the Lane family’s patriarch alone is not enough for Ray! So, he proceeds to do the same for Marvin. Clara even has to unleash the Grand Temple’s forbidden spell to break free from Ray’s spells.
Ray might have died in the end. However, the spell is forbidden for a reason, and that’s because it almost costs Clara’s life. Had the Taoist doctor never intervened, we wouldn’t know how she ends up!
Marvin recovers first, but he wants to keep his recovery a secret. That’s because he wants to surprise Clara! In the end, we even see his proposal to marry Clara. Once Clara accepts his wedding proposal, we will see their intimate time together as the C-Drama’s credit!
Part 3: What Do We Think About A Second Chance At Love Vertical Chinese Drama?
A Second Chance At Love Vertical Chinese Drama combines the business and spiritual elements, and that’s what we love! As the main villain, Ray Gorden’s background also leads us to sympathize with him.
We might never see his mother’s appearance, at least in the first few episodes. However, we can feel his love for his mother has gone wrong since he witnessed his father’s mistreatment.
The history of Ray learning the evil curse spells also feels intriguing to us! We would love the future sequel to feature this part. That way, we can also see the evil curse’s connection to the Grand Temple, where Clara becomes the 19th head!
Speaking of the Grand Temple, that’s also one of the most fascinating elements. Clara’s encounter with the Taoist in the first episode is one of our favorite scenes! That part shows Clara’s spirituality.
However, it doesn’t mean she can’t handle a business affair. After all, her family has established a strong connection with the Lane family. We can see Clara’s intelligence as she negotiates with Hudson, Marvin’s assistant!
Part 4: Conclusions
We feel A Second Chance At Love Vertical Chinese Drama speaks loudly enough about Clara and Marvin’s relationship! Clara has healed Marvin in the first episode, and it’s time for Marvin to surprise her in the end.
We can also categorize the ending as the HEA, for Marvin finally admits that Clara used to save him. Marvin even repays her kindness, and Mrs. Lane, his grandmother, even treats Clara like her granddaughter!
Marvin’s togetherness with Clara in the movie’s ending credits has warmed our hearts. What about the rest of the episodes?
