Great Follow Up
I've waited for this since for so long but only watched it earlier this year. I think I was anticipating for it for a long time that I just kept putting off seeing it?
Anyway this was an amazing follow up to the first season. Completely different feels but has a solid foundation that still made it feel like the first one. It's been months since I've watched this so I can't remember the exact details but I really enjoyed it. The story was complex and well thought of and I love seeing the cast back.
The only criticism would be Hai Yin's character. She had such a major role in the first one, though still a big presence in this season, it felt like she didn't have an exact role in the story that was pivotal or at least had a similar impact as the first. It was almost like she's an after thought. I don't know exactly how to describe it but that's how it felt. There were long instances where we didn't see her onscreen (at least that's what it felt like) and I just keep thinking where she is or that she'd have done something about what's being shown on screen by now.
I think that's the only criticism but it's one of the things I remember about this. But again, I really enjoyed watching it and how the storytelling evolved from the first season. I love the team, how the detective covers for Yi Ren and how Tsai Hsing still caves to Hai Yin. And it's nice to see how they focused on getting Yi Ren and Hsiao Meng become closer and understand each other more.
I would love to see them back again, hopefully not as long a wait this time!
