I think sex/nudity scenes are a must in some type of stories. However, I generally dislike it when they are used just for the sake of showing a nude scene. And this doesn't go for sex/nude scenes only, but for every type of scene. There must be a purpose to it when you add it in a story. For sex scenes, it could be because the director/scriptwriter wants to show show a healthy/unhealthy relationship between two people or because it serves a part of ge plot.
The thing is that sometimes directors tend to overuse them just to have them on screen and fill screentime. And that doesn't go only for sex/nude scenes but for many different type of scenes -or even characters-. I haven' t watched Queen Woo, but I know that when it aired many commented on the sex scenes and criticized. Imo though, if the series was actually good, viewers wouldn't really be bothered. After all, Korean cinema has some "extreme" sex scenes.

I don't see them unfortunately.

Does anyone know if previews are available somewhere besides WeTv and iQiyi?

What a pairing! I need this 😍

Wang Duo and Neo Hou in one drama.
Wake me up when this airs 😍

I need this

Got it, thank you!

Predictions/melons about the airing date?

I missed it too the first time, cause I was crying 😂
You are welcome!

I just watched episode 6 and I believe the kid could also be in the ICU. The student gave him the ball when the bus went underwater. I am not sure why he did it, but maybe he tried to save him.

I truly didn't expect it to be this depressing.

I'm not sure about the kid. They showed that boy for a few secs in the hospital. I don't think we found out what happened to him.

Episode 5 was devastating.
The worst part was, that we knew what would occur the moment the driver said about the problem on the bus. So seeing all this people stepping into the bus, knowing what will happen to them was 💔

The scene in the hospital...
The scene with the couple and the way her "shadow" hugged her. The way the mom hugged her daughter during the accident and she ended up dying. The woman hugging her gf to protect her. The man wanting to propose to his gf and she ended up hanging herself because she thought he died...

It was so sad and raw. The people waiting for their loved ones to come out breathing to only see them covered in a white sheet...
One of the saddest episodes I have seen this year.

Beginning of ep. 3: 😄😂
Rest of episode 3: 😢
Episode 4: 😭😭🤧

That's a good theory. They will definitely go with Shen Yi stepping into the dark side but in the end I don't think he will truly turn into a criminal.

Du Cheng drunk paint 🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was something for the cat, but nope paint 🤣

That dude that appeared and commented on Shen Yi's painting is very interesting. Directing choice of them walking on opposite directions but taking the "same" footsteps was excellent. Now, I'm wondering if that man is truly a criminal like it was hinted.

I get it and it's valid.
I like her character and don't really mind her having more screentime. It's just that it felt a bit out of place like they had to give her that extra screentime. If it was like that from S1 it would be fine, I just find it a bit unusual to suddenly go that route cause it feels like she has a different role in the force.

I agree. That's what it looks like especially since she talked to that man to rent the house.

I think that maybe the mother will disappear after her burial or cremation. Maybe she was able to be with her daughter because she wasn't cremated. Her hug to her daughter felt like a goodbye one.

Watched the first two eps and wanted to post my general thoughts about them. I know the writers changed, but that doesn't mean the show will be bad and it also doesn't mean I won't compare to S1. Friendly reminder this is my personal opinion!

On the bright side, the first two eps were watchable.
If you think S1 was far-fetched, this one is even more, at least judging from the first case. It felt a bit like they were trying too hard to fit Shen Yi's skills in the case comparing to S1.
I did appreciate the fact that the first case kept the "atmosphere" of the first season (the bleary line between good and bad).

At the same time, S2 feels quite different. First of all, this could be just my imagination, but Shen Yi (Tan Jian Ci) sounds different. Secondly, He Rong Yue was barely present in the first season. She was important, but was mostly a background character and a professional of a few words. This season, it feels like she is there all the time and it kind of feels out of the blue cause she was never this involved in the investigation in the first season. Lastly, there were like 2-3 scenes that looked censored. Characters spoke and we didn't see them talk or their lip movements were different comparing to what we were hearing. Again, it could be just me.

First two eps were not bad, but were also not that great. I didn't really expect S2 to be as good as S1, because second seasons rarely surpass the first ones, so the fact that the eps were watchable is a plus, but at the same time I would lie if I said I am 100% satisfied.
S2 does feel different comparing to S1. Like they kept some elements of S1 but also changed others and as a result some things feel a bit unusual and out-of-character-different.

It is highly anticipated so if it truly airs in 2025, I believe it will air simultaneously with other anticipated dramas (and the time of the year that they tend to air all of them). I will keep an eye out for your post!
