From fun to excitment - great season 2
This is a wonderful mini-show. Where season 1 was funny, season 2 is exciting. The storyline is more complicated and we see more of the characters. I was highly entertained.Acting wise the cast is good and the fight scenes are great. I love a strong FL and that is what we get here.
The only thing is that this is so short that a part of the story feels a bit rushed. It doesn’t ruin the show but leaves a bit of plot holes every now and then.
Anyway, if you like a fast paced romantic comedy with entertaining twists and turns, this is well worth watching.

It's bit more complicated compared to season 1, with more characters and mystery/cases. The plot twist are good. It's pretty predictable, but still fun to follow. It has less comedic part than s1. The main couple chemistry was good even though there's not much intimate scenes. The ending was satisfying, but it does feel a bit rushed.
The acting was good. Cinematography and fighting scenes are good for a low budget drama.
Overall it's a good continuation to s1. The whole drama combined is 2 hours long, same like s1, so it's perfect for binge.

This review is for Season 1 & 2:
This is a really nice short drama. The costumes, choreography, and cinematography are well done and most of the actors deliver the characters well. Although the romance is not a blazing one, the leading couple has great chemistry and a steadfast relationship. The crime cases are simple but the leading couple's way of solving crime, reasoning, and mutual understanding are fun to watch. The ending (from Season 2) is a happy one but it felt rushed and something was amiss. Overall, the drama offers a light but loyal romance, some suspense, and a dose of comedy.Was this review helpful to you?

Season 1 & 2 - Overall Review
This is the only way I can watch these short-episode format dramas. The ML & FL had sweet chemistry for me, and I was pleasantly surprised that the censors allowed their love scene. Tastefully done, and just what I like in my dramas. I should have known I was being set up for the fall later on.The storyline was simple, and although there were a few holes here and there, more in Season 1 than Season 2 - I could follow along pretty well. Some amusing bits where I was actually laughing out loud, and some very touching moments too. Especially in the end - life's lessons are always painful and there is no room for regret.
I would re-watch this if I didn't have anything to watch and needed the diversion. It was that passable.

La seconda stagione non è più una commedia
Ci colleghiamo direttamente alla fine della stagione precedente, ma i toni sono completamente diversi. Là dove nella prima serie il focus stava nei difficili rapporti tra i due protagonisti principali, ora si innesta una componente di complotto e mistero. Non si ride più e, in compenso, acquisiamo una trama un po' più complessa ma, purtroppo, composta quasi esclusivamente da cliché.Le indagini continuano a essere piuttosto superficiali, le vicende affrettate anche a causa della brevità degli episodi, i colpi di scena ampiamente prevedibili, non saprei dire se perché abbondantemente telefonati o perché, dopo aver visto tanti drama, ormai so già che cosa aspettarmi.
Gli attori principali continuano a comportarsi bene, sono una coppia abbastanza plausibile e recitano in modo dignitoso. Anche i personaggi secondari tutto sommato fanno la loro parte, mentre purtroppo altrettanto non si può dire dei malvagi i quali vengono costretti non si sa se dalla sceneggiatura o dalla regia a produrre delle orribili risate che tolgono loro qual si voglia credibilità.
Musiche e cinematografia continuano a brillare per anonimità, mentre in questa seconda serie i costumi subiscono un netto miglioramento.
In sunto un titolo che vale la pena di vedere per concludere le vicende iniziate con la serie precedente, ma che non brilla in nessun comparto.

Si c'est toujours le même format court, l'ambiance est différente de la 1ère saison : nettement moins d'humour, moins de proximité pour le couple (intrigue oblige) même si l'alchimie est toujours là. L'acteur principal s'en sort très bien avec son double rôle et c'est d'ailleurs ça qui soutient toute la saison. Le dénouement avec les "vilains" traine en longueur, j'avoue que j'ai usé de l'avance rapide plus d'une fois. Ça aurait pu être raccourci, surtout que l'identité du chef du groupe d'assassins est volontairement révélée nettement avant la fin, et lui et son bras droit féminin sont vraiment trop caricaturaux (elle a un "rire dément" extrêmement agaçant). Le Happy End est bien présent mais est expédié en 2 minutes. Je n'exagère même pas, j'ai regardé le temps affiché au moment où la scène commence au manoir Shen et le générique de fin débute exactement 1minute et 50 secondes après... (une preuve de plus que l'histoire des assassins a duré trop longtemps) C'est vraiment frustrant parce que le couple est bien assorti et que le fait de réussir à marier Junye est quand même l'un des points les plus importants de la saison 1...
J'ai regardé cette série sur un site qui avait combiné les deux saisons ensemble pour un total de 12 épisodes d'environ 25 minutes et même si la saison 2 me semble avoir plus de défauts que la 1ère, je pense que le drama aurait gagné à avoir une durée plus "traditionnelle". Il y avait suffisamment de matière pour développer l'histoire dans un format d'épisodes plus longs, surtout que la saison 2 a introduit de nouveaux personnages comme le frère avec lequel il y avait moyen de faire pas mal de choses. Ça aurait aussi été sympa de voir la relation du couple développée plus lentement, les deux acteurs ont vraiment une bonne connexion c'est dommage ne pas avoir eu plus de temps pour la mettre en valeur et pouvoir en profiter pleinement.
