2015年，一部由山东影视传媒集团、北京儒意欣欣影业出品的一部古装架空历史电视剧《琅琊榜》横空出世，收获了无数好评与赞誉。时隔两年多，被称为琅琊榜续集的《琅琊榜之风起长林》重出江湖，播出36小时内全网播放量迅速破亿，豆瓣评分高达8.4。
——编者按
蹭着播出后大火的影视作品的热度而拍摄续集的例子屡见不鲜。然而，这种做法尽管能保证较高的关注度，但续作难免会拿来和前作比较，由于前作已经成为经典，因此续作往往很容易陷入“续集坏口碑”的漩涡。 《琅琊榜1》在很多中国观众的心中，已然成为不可逾越的经典之作。不仅如此，它在国外也获得了满满的赞誉和超高的话题度。因为第一部的巨大成功，《琅琊榜2》的推出自然也吸引了很多外国观众的目光。《琅琊榜2》是否超越经典？它与《琅琊榜1》谁更好看？就在国内吃瓜群众对此津津乐道的同时，国外的网友们也正在热火朝天地讨论着。
根据国外网友们的不同见解，笔者大概整理出了三种观点：
一、第二部也不错，但无法与第一部相媲美
《琅琊榜》第一部：胡歌 饰 梅长苏
“Few episodes in.... It's pretty good but I really don't think that liu hao ran as xiao ping jing can leave a lasting impact to the viewers as did mei chang su which is integral to the whole story. Nothing against his acting but as the main character that will mainly carry the story forward especially a heavy story such as this is such a hard task tbh I even believe that huang xiao ming is more impactful as of now”
“已经看了好几集……这部剧很好看，然而我并不认为刘昊然饰演的萧平旌可以像整个故事的灵魂人物——梅长苏一样给观众留下持久的印象。倒不是说他的演技不好，只不过作为主要推动故事情节发展的主角，尤其是类似这种沉重的故事情节，他的任务十分艰巨。说实话，我甚至觉得现在黄晓明给我留下了更为深刻的印象。”
“for me its better executed in every way but less exciting than the first one..”
“对我而言，这部剧在每个方面都制作得更好，然而却没有第一部激动人心。”
“without Hu Ge and Wang Kai how it can be worth to watch..”
“没有胡歌和王凯的《琅琊榜》如何能看……”
《琅琊榜》第一部：王凯 饰 萧景琰
“I've struggled a bit at the beginning of this drama because NIF is one of my favourite Cdramas and I couldn't stop comparing^^ ... the first episodes were really boring to me and a bit confusing as well, but now I am at ep 19 and the story is picking up. Still, I don't like it as much as NIF1. I don't crave to know what will happen next and I don't care about many of the characters. Still, it's getting better now, I think and I will stick around and see how the drama will play out :)”
“在看剧的起初我有点纠结，因为《琅琊榜1》是我最喜欢的中国电视剧之一，我会不由自主地对比这两部剧……我感觉最初的几集很无聊，还有点搞不懂，然而现在我看到第19集，整个剧情开始引人入胜。然而我仍旧更喜欢《琅琊榜1》。）我没有想知道后续剧情的强烈欲望，很多角色我也不在乎。不过现在情况正在好转，我想我会坚持下去，看看这出戏最终会怎样上演。”
二、更喜欢第二部，剧情、人物、场面样样出彩
《琅琊榜》第二部：刘昊然 饰 萧平旌
“I think it is going to be even better than NIF 1 ,plus I can see a lot of upcoming brotherly love which will make it even more emotional .but the synopsis say that older brother will get poisoned ,so he will die in the middle of drama ??? No I can't handle that please make him life till the end”
“我认为这部剧甚至将超越第一部，再加上我可以看到很多即将展现的兄弟之爱，这会使这部剧更加富有感染力。但是剧情梗概说哥哥会中毒，所以他会在剧中死去？？？不，我不能接受这种设定，请让他的生命延续到剧情终结吧。”
“I like both equally (I might even like this one slightly more tbh but we'll see when it finishes airing)!! I honestly had my doubts about this one since the first one was so good, but I honestly think the two dramas can be judged separately on their own since the two dramas really don't have THAT much connection. So far, this one's really good: good story, great characters and character dynamics, good acting (much to my surprise) and cinematography and filming is as good as the first one (since same production company and all).”
“两部剧我都爱（说实话，我可能会稍微更喜欢这一部，但是等它完结后在做评价吧！）说实话，我曾对这部剧持怀疑态度，因为第一部实在太棒了。然而我现在认为，这两部剧可以不用放在一起评价，因为它们的确没有太多的联系。至今为止，这部剧真的很赞：故事好，人物和角色力度很棒，演技在线（这出乎我的意料），剧集拍摄效果和第一部一样好（毕竟这是同一个公司制作的。）”

“I think I might like this one a bit better as well, just slightly.....slightly. Hahahahaha....... it’s quite hard to compare tbh. But I like this one a bit more only because the fighting is so much more intense. Each person has their like own skills that they can show off. I love it when the top fighters vs each other the most......so INTENSE! I’m glad that this drama ended up well since the first one was good and rarely the second ones can be just as good or better. So great for us!”
“我觉得，我可能也会更喜欢第二部一点，就一点点。哈哈哈哈……说实话，很难将这两部作比较。不过我喜欢这一部多一些仅仅因为剧中的武打场面要激烈得多。每一个人物都有可以展现自己的本领。我喜欢看那些最顶级高手的较量……太激烈了！我很高兴这部剧精彩收尾，因为通常如果一部作品很出彩，其续集的水平很少能接近或超越它。这两部剧对我们而言都太好了！”
三、非得让这两部作品一决高下吗
“I mean, does it need to be better than NIF1?? I think we should just treat both as their own dramas and stories. I mean we can compare if we want, but if we do, we should just hope that NIF2 is as good or almost as good as NIF1, we don't need it to be better than NIF1. Just watch and enjoy!!”
“我的意思是，它有必要超过《琅琊榜1》吗？我认为我们应该把它们当作独立的剧集和故事来看待。个人认为，我们可以对比这两部作品，但是如果我们真的这么做了，我们应该仅抱有《琅琊榜2》的水准不输于，或接近《琅琊榜1》的希望，我们没必要一定要求它超越第一部。你只需观看和欣赏剧情即可！”
“If whoever wrote the synopsis could not find a better way to describe the story without referencing NIF and "how that happened", it can't be a good thing. They really didn't need to make this another story about an army falling to a trap setup by corrupt officials.”
“不管是谁，在写这部剧的剧情梗概时，如果不能找到一个更好的方式去描述这个故事，而非要参考《琅琊榜1》的剧情才能知道事情的来龙去脉的话，这可不是一件好事。他们真的没必要又写一个关于一个军队被贪官污吏陷害的故事。”
“I'm not really concerned about it being better than NIF1. NIF1 is considered the gold standard for dramas. I'm just happy that the director/writer have returned and are expanding the "universe"/world and will judge it on its own merits.”
“我并不在乎它是否要超越《琅琊榜1》。第一部已经被奉为电视剧的圭臬。令我高兴的是导演和编剧的回归，他们正在延伸这个“世界”，并且将根据其自身的好坏来评判它。”
总体而言，《琅琊榜2》不负众望，赢得了很多外国网友的喜爱，在视频网站Mydramalist上的评分高达8.9，在还未播完的情况下便引起了如此高的话题度，可见它并不输于《琅琊榜1》。随着剧情的推入和发展，相信《琅琊榜2》还有更多精彩之处有待呈现，最终传递出更为深沉的家国情怀和血性风骨。
