A handsome surgeon tries to make up for his biggest regret. When he earns the chance to go back in time to his senior year of high school, he strives to overcome his cowardice to help his classmate Han Fei and prevent an impending tragedy. Ever since Han Fei unintentionally helped Wu Jing Hao out of a sticky situation in school, she has never left his line of sight. Wu Jing Hao begins to notice everything about Han Fei, that she is often distracted in class and impossible to get close to as if she had spikes like a hedgehog. Wu Jing Hao eventually learns that Han Fei once took her friend to eat barbecue, yet an accident resulted in her friend being burned and falling into a coma. Han Fei has lived in guilt since then. Wu Hao Jing patiently stays by as he encourages her to step out from the shadows.

Having the same stylistic tone as the first season, Closer to You 2 follows Han Fei as she time travels to her university days and reunites with her boyfriend Wu Jing Hao who was supposed to be lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

By chance, the 28-year-old Han Fei travels back in time to the commencement ceremony at the university campus. If things were as it once was, Wu Jing Hao should've been in the hospital. Instead, Wu Jing Hao has lost part of his memories. Han Fei's mind is burning with questions yet she walks into Wu Jing Hao's life once again to continue their romance. In the process, she discovers that there is no escape from fate.
