Anais

I wished he would choose another type of project, maybe from another genre that he haven't experienced yet, I feel that all I get from him are YA romance/comedy series, and he isn't oustanding in thoses, I really wished I could see him in other roles than this, again.

I know right ?? Hilarious, I loved it

Wish kinda of granted in a way ...

Thank god then, he is a wonderful actor and honestly, his upcoming roles were so interesting from his past work - more intense/mature with bigger production that it would be a shame not to broadcast it. I hope Zhao Ge will be now release soon.

I was planning on watching this next month, but honestly learning that they have used the names of actual people - BTS - makes me very uncomfortable, it's totally unacceptable.
I know MBC have a grudge toward BTS since they've refused to appear in the new-year show back in 2019, but since they've targeted them and other artists associated with HYBE on several occasions and honestly this one is too much.
You don't put the entire names and birth dates of actual people in a homicide list, specifically knowing that they have received such threats to their lives on several occasions.
Really sad for the actors who I'm sure worked hard on it but also the many people involved in this project.
I don't know from who this decision came from and why the channel allowed this to be aired, but they ruined it for me. ✋

Thank you, it sounds promising for sure.

Can someone enlighten me about the story of this drama (if it has been revealed somewhere) ?

I'm not there. 😭
Is there a name for simply K-drama lovers, who enjoy multiple celebrities and enjoy discovering their work new or old, who are always discovering new shows, sometimes not because of any actors but just cause the plot seems promising ?
And not lecturing people ...

Yes, unfortunately, but for a few months and even since 2020, we see quite a few Thai BLs that are released without these problematic tropes, and I'm happy, of course not all of them, but I really see a change little by little, the 2022 series are very promising, I hope it will clean the fandoms of those people who have maintained fetishes and who are interested in toxic behaviors.

It's up to you to try, I was also scared at the beginning but I really enjoyed the script of the series and the characters, after that it's only me, but indeed, discover for yourself before listening to the others.

Me too before starting it, but I must say that the love triangle, even if I would say more the quadruple, is really well done.
This series pleasantly surprised me with characters that are quite real and not overly dramatic, there are no BL clichés and the female character is relatable and she evolves, as well as the others.
Frankly, it's worth it.

I'm not sure with that one tho, everything indicate that it will be the continuation of season 1 thus far, specially if they also filmed season 3, but maybe a prequel will see the light.

So yeah I really hope that Xiao comes back in the next two seasons (if that's the case with his character), I also hope that he and Zhang will join hands too and support each other, I mean, Zhang has friends in the series but besides Wang who also plays the role of a subordinate, he doesn't really have a friend in the nobility nor very close to him, a real friend and I feel that Xiao could fulfill this role.

I totally agree with you, it seems that in this section people give little room for nuance.
There are those who love the show and don't question anything.
There are those who advocate this show as toxic and who find it bad.

People are free to like what they want, however, sometimes you have to take a step back when reviewing a show because of your own conflicting sensibilities and values.
There's a problem with the way Thai and Taiwanese BLs - for the most part - portray gay relationships on screen, a lot of disturbing behavior is romanticized, and often the abuse and clichés that follow the LGBTQ+ community .
There is also a problem in the fandoms of fans who fetishize these men.
HIStory 4 is one of the most glaring examples.

On the other hand, some people are quick to jump and scream at toxic relationships when they aren't, and they go directly to extremes. There's a panel of adult relationships, and it's not all white or black, it's not perfect or toxic. It is about an evolution, and about people getting to know and understand each other.
Especially since it's only the beginning of the series, the goal is to see them evolve in their behavior, so I don't see why people in view of that already labeling the series as "toxic", it's better to wait for the end to know of all the story.

I don't know to be honest, I think as a fan of the show that I obviously want Xiao to be there, but the reality is quite different, actors like Xiao who play a supporting role in a series and then were propelled in huge popularity do not usually come back, because of their busy schedule and because of the budget.
Zhang Ruo Yun is the main star of the show, he is popular and he is very well paid, on the other hand, why Xiao would come back to only play a secondary role, not to mention the big salary he must ask compare to before when he does not play a leading role.
Unless he gets promoted to a main role (I don't know if in the novel he becomes an important character) and in that case it's more likely to see him, but still remains the question of the budget, and the actors' salaries.
Not to mention as you say Li Qin, who is also a very popular actress but she has more chance of returning than Xiao since she already had a main role in season 1.
Yes, there are a lot of rumors saying that they are filming both seasons at the same time, I don't know what to think about it except that at least we will have the third season sooner.
Anyway, I keep hoping to see Xiao, he has incredible chemistry with Zhang and it would be a shame not to see how his character's story infolds.

I hope, I don't know how the filming is going, can Xiao's scenes be shot later or maybe they were shot earlier, did they even finished or is it still ongoing ?
Besides, as they told us that there would be two seasons to come, the question remains if they shot both at the same time or only one, and does that mean that Xiao can appear in the last season ?
Anyway, honestly, given the lack of information about the series besides the fact that they started filming during Q4, the rest is really a mystery.

I don't know if you are aware but they started filming during Q4 of 2021.

I don't know if you are aware but they started filming during Q4 of 2021, I believe they finished filming a few weeks ago (I'm not sure).
Knowing that Xiao Zhan has other projects he was supposed to do in 2021, it's almost certain he won't be in Season 2, but you never know.

Dramacool only grabbed and shared the episodes with the auto-generated subtitles that already existed.
Like all streaming sites, they all have the same videos.

It's a good crime/thriller drama mixed with realistic action and intense mysteries.
We follow our protagonist as he tries to discover the truth accompanied by his partner.
On the other hand, if you want romance, I warn you, there is none, it's really investigation mixed with intense action.
