Just finished ep4 and I’m kind of on the fence about this one. The first case was mildly interesting. It seemed…
Yes, I do follow the episodes but it has not hooked me through like some other Chinese ancient detective shows yet. Have you watched "Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty"? The character is a student of Detective Dee here so his method is based on what he thought. The characters are fictional though although the history background is accurate. It has more comedy and buddy cop vibe.
Van Gulik did not create anything. He just translated the original novel written by an anonymous Chinese writer…
Yes, that's true. "Strange Tales" should be more historically accurate and we can learn more about the history of Dynasty Tang. Waiting for Season 2 of the show.

I see. Yes, he must be very famous among the common folks to inspire so many writers. I kept thinking of him as the master of Sun Wu Ming, who is fictional, in the "Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty" 😂
What are the airing schedule for non members? Someone posted a picture of the schedule but it doesn't seem to be accurate. Based on the picture, we got only up to episode 4 yesterday but we got 6.

Ah thanks for the info. I read Van Gulik's info in Wikipedia but I wasn't clear who he translated it from. So it was from an unknown author. So basically he wrote his own fanfiction based on the characters.
What ep that Jingyu you're referring to? I'm currently at ep 8, just give me ep number dont spoil me what happen…
Yes, I have tried to watch more properly earlier episodes and he did appear quite frequent as well.
How are you with Season 2 watching?
Yeah, I wasn't specifically looking for spoilers but I want to know whether it's happy ending or not usually because I don't want to be emotionally invested in something that long to be disappointed later on. I read that POC is one of a very depressing shows so I went to look for spoilers.
Xianxia is not my cup of tea, although I haven't actually watched on xianxia properly, the premise itself is not appealing to me. Ironic, given Cheng Yi got famous playing Xianxia. But yes to Wuxia.

Ah yes, I still need to watch earlier episodes of Season 1 with Jing Yu then go to Season 2. It seems Jing Yu can appear a lot in some episodes then disappear for a few episodes :)
I heard Season 2 is full of flashback so perhaps you can skip that part safely :)
What do you think of POC? I heard it's super depressing and CY character died not the end but near the end. That's why I don't want to watch it.

Cool :)
Ah I heard that show is quite depressing for Cheng Yi's fans so I might skip it. I'm looking forward to "Heroes Legend" and "Deep Lurk" if it is ever going to air. I don't mind Republican drama as long as I ignore the propaganda part.
LOL, yes, watch DTL for Cheng Yi. I think it's the only show he didn't spit any blood although he didn't spit much blood in NA as well. But if it's not interesting, you can always drop it.
Ah I clicked on it and it needs my password and email and just realized I need to register first. Perhaps later because I don't really know how discord works. Is it like a chatroom?
I get whatever free episodes I got either from Youtube posted by Youku or the app itself. Yes, going to enjoy the bonus earlier episodes :)
Ah OK, thanks :)
Yes, it's enjoyable so far.

I see. I'm going to see (and skip, LOL) for myself then :)
