Line Walker: The Prelude

The story was good, the story itself goes back and forth but then it keeps bringing ur emotions both up and down as well and which makes u (at least me) want to continue watching the drama.
-why Benz became who he is in Line Walker 1
-Michael Miu past
-the prelude~

~~
The cast and acting was superb!
Michael Miu and Jessica Hsuan collab again!! could that get any better!?!?

-Michael's every little detailed expression hit me hard during the chill/emotional scenes. His acting is very detailed and I have to say that its better than Benz but its great seeing both of them being in the same drama again!!

-Jessica has a darker character this time compared to her previous work and her characters with Michael before. In this drama shes a serious person and in which brings out her acting ability, scenes where she appears with Michael she has really brought out her acting skills by seeing how good she was beside Michael unlike her previous work with him which she wasn't as good before.

-Benz was as psychotic as the Line walker 1, and his detailed expressions were the MSG and sparked the whole drama.

-Moses acting did improve compared to his old dramas, hes rly slowly walking in the footsteps of his senior actors. He did a really good job, but his haistyle tho XD

-Priscilla's acting got a whole lot better, though she was really annoying at times in the drama which proves that she actually improved in her acting and would make the viewers feel like how they intended us viewers to feel.

-Benjamins acting has improved alot as well, there were some emotional scenes which brings out who he is and what he is capable of.

lol soz idk anything about pakho XD but he was pretty okayy

i watched since Line walker 1, and cuz im a fan of Michael Miu (hes so damn manly), there would be some people who wouldn't like the storyline though i personally thought it was good, though i have to say the actors has brought up the quality of the drama and would be able to save the drama if someone thinks its a crappy storyline.
honestly i would rewatch, since im a fan of Michael
but I would also rewatch because it was nice seeing skilled and experienced actors such as Michael/Moses/Benz working together, personally it was nice reading/studying their expressions and all the details, since im a drama student and its really helpful to be able to learn from these experienced actors though im learning through a screen but im still learning either ways :D

Mature, Intense, Twist-filled - WAY better than the first season!

How have I just now heard about this?! This was way, way WAAYYYY better than season 1 (the chronological sequel to this), which I know is beloved by many! Season 1 was full of tropes and forced cringey, comedy. This prequel takes a more serious tone which makes everything a lot more tense. Is that why this didn't get as much attention afaik? The general HK drama viewer prefer comedic banter over slow conversations?

The beginning was a little slow as you get introduced to the characters but halfway through to the very end, it's nonstop action, twists and turns, and drama. The cast have amazing chemistry, even the non-romantic couples like Jessica Hsuan and Priscilla Wong. I love their relationship and how you feel that they genuinely care for each other. Pakho Chau Chau & Benjamin Yuen and Michael Miu & Moses Chan have an interesting rivalry as well. The characters are so well-written. Great acting from everyone, of course. I usually despise love triangles, which TVB tends to overuse but I found myself rooting for everyone here. The love triangles were not annoying. In fact, they were tastefully and maturely executed. The side characters have their motives which are slowly revealed and are all memorable. There are a few plot-holes and moments of suspension of beliefs.

A HUGE STEP UP from Season 1 which I felt was so overrated. Oh yeah, the OSTs are fantastic too, and not overly used that blasted 越难越爱 every 5 minutes.

Definitely recommend (but it will take a while for you to get invested. The last 15 episodes are riveting!!!)
