That's great but then S2 feels so far. It also sad they broke the momentum when the first one aired a few years…
Since season 1 was such a hit back in 2022, the production company could have started preplanning season 2 immediately, so they would be ready to execute season 2 production within two years. I know the preproduction process takes time; set design, costume design, story and script creation, budget and hiring the talent and crew.
They didn't do that awkward time jumpt that writers like to do in some dramas. Even though some time has elapsed, they just dropped in the scenes seamlessly.
I just finished ep 2 - so far it is pretty dry, a lot going on but dry, I hope it picks up in 3Shady Shifu is…
Shady Shifu (LOL) was annoying me as well. I have only seen that actor play evil parts. He fulfilled his destiny in IA. His wives are annoying in subsequent episodes.
I forgot to say. IQIYI is such a dear for giving us 2 episodes a day. This is my first cdrama that I didnt have…
The production and broadcast companies should make it a mandatory two-episodes-daily (except for the first six or eight episodes on the first day of release).
Very satisfied with this drama as the story is filled with logical forensic methods and looked realistic with…
The climax between Emperor and Yan Ze, and Empress and Noble Consort was one of the best endings since the movie Curse of the Golden Flower with Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat. πππ
The ending with Emperor and Yan Ze, and Empress and Noble Consort is vintage Shakespearean tragedy. π€£π€£π€£ An excellent drama that kept me intrigued up to the final scene. It didn't even feel like 38 episodes. Acting, directing, editing, costuming, set design and most of the music were well done. They could have dialed back the BGM. Some of the music did not fit the mood of the scene, and sounded like the Kdrama BGM.
Final rating 8.5
