Yes, I wish there were an announcement for Season 2.

Agree about the writer. And surprisingly Song Ci is a real historical person and he wrote the book quoted in the beginning of each episode.

Yes, the cases are interesting and the actors can act.

No worries.

I know that Detective (2021) series. My mom watched it, I only watched some episodes. The mysteries are pretty good. Too bad about subtitle.

Ah Fei as the clingy ex 😆

Thanks. I only know LOCH, didn't think of DGSD, should have guessed it. I'm not familiar with a lot of Gu Long's works.

Nice to see you here again. I think we talk in the "Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty" or some other murder mystery thread.

Have you tried "The Forensic Examiner Song Ci"? It's airing on Youku now.

Happy New Year. Wish you all the best.

I love all these you mentioned. I do love detective and mystery stories XD

Yes, I love his conversation with Yu Bin Qiu. I heard it's straight from the novel. And very well acted as well.

I have been recommending this drama everywhere. So now there is a list for that

Good, I hope you will enjoy it. It' the dark horse show of 2022. Like MLC, iQiyi also did no promotion for the show as it has no traffic star and also not focused on romance. At least MLC has Cheng Yi to draw people to watch.

Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty
Ancient Detective

Both have bromance, wuxia, and detective stories.

I see. Yes, China itself already has a huge market.

No worries.

Will get on to watch it 🤣

I will follow you watching this as you have good tastes and also it's ZRY.

Aww, that's a big loss for dramas but I think he will get more exposure in movies so more international audience will know him. Although I am not sure how the Chinese movies work with international market.

I agree. I really love Mysterious Lotus Casebook, besides what you mentioned, it also has good lessons about life. And no-one could forget Jiau Li Qiau after watching it.

I think A Journey to Love also has this kind of pull to keep me watching. Usually if I get bored, I instantly dropped the drama.

Oh yes, I agree with you. The second paragraph was actually answering the OP, perhaps I should use @ OP name to make it clear.

You raised a lot of good points that I didn't think about.

I think the setting of the story is traditional wuxia but the story is more about falling from the top and living with failure and learning from it plus letting go. Plus allowing new friendships and relationships. I think that's the main appeal of the show. At least for me and some others.
