Director Suan has given us two recent masterpieces:
2025: Youku’s MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN
2024: Youku’s ESCAPE FROM THE TRILATERAL SLOPES.

I am ready to begin his UNSETTLED CASE.

Though episode seven. Final episode to go. Noble Idiocy is my detested trope and we get in spades in episode 7. I think SOUL MATE has been a lovely drama about friendship and found family.
It annoys me that the writer felt the need to go full on melo in regards to Johan anyway.

I guess it could be worse. Check out the ‘Also Known As’ above for alternative titles.

TAGUSARI BROS. is an unusual psychological crime drama. I gave it 9 stars mainly for the wonderful performances by the actors who played the damaged brothers. I am not a fan of open endings where presumably there will not be a second season.

I am confused. Are we China or Japan?

Since Viki licensed TOKYO MPD PR UNIT2 I hope the 6 episode second season will eventually appear on Viki.

Yang Yang observation. ZZA is my first YY drama. In episode one (in the Inn) when YY lifts his head for his first appearance in the drama I swore I saw a resemblance to Lee Min-ho!

I just finished episode 19 tonight and looking forward to the next arc.

Just started TOKYO MPD PR UNIT 2. I really enjoyed how the different characters were introduced and the case comprising the first 2 episodes. This is my first Fukushi Sota drama and he fits his character perfectly. Looking forward to the other episodes.

15 episodes in and enjoying our 3 martial arts heroes. However it seems none of the hordes of baddies they are forced to fight ever suffer terminal wounds. Back in the day when I watched a lot of the great Katsu Shintaro’s ZATOICHI movies, when ZATOICHI took on a gang of bad guys they usually ended up sliced and diced.

After a hiatus I recently returned and finished episodes 9-12 of CASE X DECODED. I would call it a decent but not great Hong Kong crime drama.

Thanks for the good news.

Here us a link to an article in BaiduWiki with information on CICADA:

iQIYI’s BORN WITH LUCK is a tour de force. The writing, directing and acting had to all come together to pull off this unusual crime dramedy. Well done.

Fwiw, on Viki US , the ZZ rescue effort begins as a dream or flashback about 20 minutes into episode 2. It explains the source of his internal injuries.
I think the first two episodes I watched flowed naturally.

In episode one the opening scene takes place at an inn (North Slope Inn) and we see first ML Zhan Ri Fei sitting off to the side eating with head covered. Next we see FL Huo Ling Long sitting by herself eating in the main dining area. Then the three baddies of the Tang Sect show up.
First fight sequence begins.

I just started watching ZHAN ZHAO ADVENTURES yesterday on Viki US. I watched and enjoyed episodes 1&2. Did I miss something?

I think one of the most idiotic examples of Noble Idiocy I have witnessed occurred near the end of episode 11 when brother and sister agreed to conceal the truth about her son’s fathers’ death because of police brutality.
