I don't watch Korean dramas. I think the only one I watched was Giant as the story was pretty gripping.

Yes, I heard "Mouse" is great, might check it out later. I have too many in my list for to watch

I have watched both Ancient Detective (2020) and Under The Skin (2022). Both are great series. I was actually surprised about Under the Skin, didn't know paint artist could contribute so much to solve crime, LOL.

Ancient Detective gave me Agatha Christie's vibe with one by one getting murdered. Also looking forward to Season 2.

Have you watched "The Imperial Coroner". it's quite interesting how they used animation to show the autopsy process and result.

Other good detective series that come into mind is "Medical Examiner Dr Qin" and "My Roommate is a Detective". "Tiensin Mystic" is interesting as well.

I just realized that most of my favorite C-dramas are detective shows. LOL. There are of course other non detective shows I like such as "Joy of Life" but I really don't watch that many C-dramas. Have watched more that I used to since a couple of years ago due to pandemic.

What was the other series you found if I may ask? :)

Yes, it's very binge worthy. I think I finished the whole 36 episodes in one week or less. It's been a while to see bingeworthy C-dramas. Usually I watch a bit then just wonder off to watch something else.

That's great news. I hope the actors have the time especially ZRY.

Good for him. I wish he would work on Joy of Life Season 2 soon.

I just know that Young Blood and Joy of Life have the same screenwrite. No wonder the writing is tight.

Yes, I usually go to "AvenueX" and "Marcus Here" to see which dramas worth checking out. Also based on the recommendation in MDL as well.

I've never visited Douban. I thought they would converse in Mandarin but they actually discussed in English. LOL. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, it seems the Emperor wasn't happy that the Princess and the Crown Price had so many loyal followers. He liked Yuan An who was the mastermind behind the Black Tea because he was loyal to the Emperor, it didn't matter if he had killed plenty of people. Same case with Sass.

Pei was indeed the fall guy.

Thanks a lot for your very clear and informative reply.

1. Why did Pei (FL's father) got demoted in the end? Was it because he brought in Sass accidentally?

2. Was it implied that the Emperor was aware about Sass' real identity so he approved of what Sass wanted to do to the tower plus the Crown Prince and Princess? If the Emperor knew then Pei just became the fall guy.

Thanks.

I have some questions regarding the finale. Will post them below.

I only watched briefly Word of Honour and Untamed (yes, I know, sacrilegious). They do have great bromance dynamic as in similar to other C-dramas such as Ancient Detective, Imperial Coroner, and from what I heard as I only watched a bit, Killer and Healer vibe.
Perhaps try a few episodes and see whether you like it. They grew from frenemies to friends throughout the show.
I tend to ignore the female leads if not written well but Pei Xijun got better in later episodes.

Yes, we're enjoying it so far. Watching up to episode 21 now :)

Thanks for your recommendation. I usually watch your recommended shows when not sure what to watch. I usually find shows for my mom and I don't have time to watch that many shows. But I like this genre so I also watch this..

Thanks

No worries.

LOL, I think rule number 1 applies to all shows/movies, not only c-drama.

I wish number 3 were true.

I just got recommended on youtube to watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJzCHVrGTvM
