Love Me If You Dare Episode 3

A tortoise?

Hmmmm, a tortoise what crime solving show that's been on for a while has a pet tortoise? Considering that Love Me if You Dare is a bit like an homage to all the crime solving shows, though really Criminal Minds is probably the big one. Though I am finding a lot of Elemental vibes.

The real treat of Love Me if You Dar is that the murder(s) doesn't have to be solved in one episode. It can take its time to build up, especially the characters. I love the character depth that is being built. It's slow, but very satisfying.

Not to mention that I look forward to anytime Zi Yu gets called. What will he be doing? First it was SWAT training, sky diving/parachuting, boxing, and what next!? It's so much fun.

I adore Jian Yao, she's such a well thought out and compelling lead. (Hey, I wouldn't want to see the bodies either.) I wonder how far she will go as an apprentice. The cinematography is lovely, but then there's these low ground shots that seem to be used to show off Jian Yao's legs instead of a dramatic scene. It feels weird. Overall this show is headed in the right direction for me.
