This series has made a name for itself in the variety the cases to be resolved, the alternate characters of the main cast, the action & visuals, and the OSTs (S1 & S2 have great rock songs). At least, those are what I always look forward to that I get from the first 2 seasons.
I gave this season a 7.5 because as good as it is, it still kinda falls short of the electric thrill I get from season 1. Sure, LJH's alternate characters were fun & entertaining as usual, & the action scenes look good.
But i did not like that cases dragged on for more than 1 episode, the OSTs left something to be desired, & the rainbow team seemed to take on a little too much risk & expense when solving cases. For example, how & why did they buy so many cars in the episode with Yoon Shi Yoon, why was Kim Do Gi careless/inattentive that Jang Na Ra's character fell from the roof, & bringing civilians to a military training grounds where live ammunitions were to be fired is totally absurd & impractical. And they killed bad guys here deliberately? π
In spite of all that, it was enjoyable, & LJH proved his acting prowess as always. Woo Sung's track is the only OST I enjoyed, though it was nice hearing Yoon Do Hoon's 'Way Home' again.
Some people complained about the new ev cars but I think its practical that the rainbow team upgraded their vehicles to evs, they certainly look sleek. So a 7.5 it is, looking forward to the next oneπ€π€π€...
Rewatching this, & still like it a lot. Yanxi is such a baby-faced terrorist ππ. We NEED to talk more about his fight scenes & style, sooo freaking cool & realistic! Still hate the annoying emperor π π€¬
This is a very fun drama, Jung Kyung-Ho is a good actor. It was star-studded and entertaining, and I think everyone played their roles well. Yoo Na-Moo fid especially well portraying a nerx with emotional & mental baggage. I really dislike characters like the fl, self-righteous, presumptuous, naiive yet thinks she knows all, clueless & intelligently dumb...ππππ I'm soo glad they didn't force any romance between the main leads, else it woukd have ruined everything.
Try them out, you won't be disappointed
He's the best actor of them all! His expressions are gold, and he executes his character soo well it seems like a part of him.
Not to mention how good looking he is!ππππ. And the kiss scene in the cave....I melted twice!π€π€
That aside, it was interesting seeing Wang Xing Yue in this role, & Zhou Jun Wei is such a lovable cutie!
The story, acting, OST & all were top notch.
This is my 1st time Bai Lu drama, & I must say she's pretty,& she acted well too. I like the fake Xue Ding Fei, a quirky & funny yet scarred character.
The stupidest one was that Yu Fangyin girlππ, what the crap did she cling to Zhou Yinzhi for after he released her!? Mind-numbingly stupid!
Someone pls tell ZLH that he's got a real fan right hereππ«°ππ
There seemed to be holes in the story & the acting, though I give props to the dude who played Zhuang Shiyang, who by the way is one of the sickest, most annoying villains everππ«©.
It seemed to be winter all through the show, & Hanyan's face often failed to show the kind of emotion one would expect in certain situations.
Prince Qi was a despicable character but well played π.
They also tried to incorporate modern themes into the story, like much older woman-younger man relationship, & female emancipation. Not bad, but kinda too progressive for the Ming era.
In spite of all that, it was an enjoyable show which I'd rate no more than 7 or 7.5.
