Halfway there. Awesome. I even like how they throw in the random, current issues such as the controversy around fake honey. Show continues to be jam packed with plenty more to come!
Episode 12 - I was right about the red herring...a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false…
They are using plenty of red herrings and what seems to be different images re the masked villains (which is a bit naughty). Anyway, it’s a cracking show and I’m enjoying this season even more than the last!
Season 1 completed. It does remind me of a series of books I read a long time ago on the rise of a civilisation based on the expansion of a city state. So, I enjoyed it overall, but found myself not really caring all that much re Eun Som’s character and his storylines. The other characters are far more interesting. The sets are great, the acting very good, the use of the mish-mash of cultures is fine and the landscape beautiful.
It’s an exciting political game of chess where each opponent is trying to stay as many steps ahead of the others…
Yes, CoS has really hit its straps in eps 3 and 4. JTJ is acting more like the President’s chief of staff (or at the very least a minister’s) that’s how good he is, because he is better than any of them in terms of creating opportunities out of a crisis and working out the steps ahead. KSY is also a very talented performer. However, when it comes to politicians and the game of politics it’s never about the smartest person in the room. This is where the show has got it right. On another note we can all forgive JTJ for the flash drive error - the question remains: “was he really that silly, or was it a red herring?” I would like to think so :)
The same here. I wasn’t sure what to make of it all after I thought ep 1 set the scene quite well. As for the…
Thank you for your suggestion. I did drop it after my earlier comments. I am so glad that I watched episode 6. It was just the most amazing episode. I did feel something in my heart and it was totally worth it. I will now keep watching.
Here I am at the end. What a journey. Quite a brave show to deal with the cases and the issues the way they did i.e. with realism. The underlying message is very much one of how professional people carry on and help others despite their own personal situations. I also liked the friendships and relationships and how their workplace pulled together. Vivi Miao played a very good role as did Pan Hong as the mum. I thought Shawn Dou really shined in the later episodes.
Completed. Good entertainment value throughout. Raymond Lam has such a strong screen presence that it’s hard to picture him as an ordinary police officer at times. Charlene Choi was wonderful and the other actors did a very good job.
This is actually pretty good! Plot feels like DOCTORS the Japanese Drama where one is political and other one…
I am enjoying this very much. In fact, I think it’s excellent. A very good script so far, nice acting, I like the friendships and it does have that J-Drama medical vibe.
