ep 23 and things are stupid again 🙄. the leads low-key don't deserve these multiple chances bc why y'all so slow and clueless despite all that foreknowledge?!
I appreciate that the fl is written to have gravitas. like when she steps fwd and says something, esp when she's on a case and her opps are being difficult, her words carry a lot of weight/cut across the nonsense/carry a hidden threat/stop the foolishness, etc. very nice!
everytime peacock thinks he caught Xiao beiming, but its just someone else🤣🤣🤣the way his expression goes from delight to shock then disappointment 😂. it's a good running gag
I like the relationship between the characters, esp when the other guys call the ml older brother like aw yes he does give off big bro vibes doesn't he?!
tailor was a good villain. his crimes were clever, ruthless and appalling and his story and reasons were crisp, interesting and kinda understandable. and to top it all off he's only a sub villain? yea 10/10
zhuge kong yun's hair hurts my eyes, but credit to them he really does look like a peacock lol. also he keeps wearing red is he getting married?🤣 what a flamboyant fool
🤣🤣🤣 I completely forgot all about his role as bai lu's obsessed fiance! loool. they put him into like a bunch of sympathetic roles after that but yeah I remember side eyeing him a lot back then too
okay eps 15-19 are a write-off I don't recommend🙄 but whoo! things pick back up in ep 20. i'm on ep 22 now and it's totally so fun and unpredictable! I truly don't know what's gonna happen in the last four eps
i just watched the poison scene and I really don't get all uproar over the fl. there are so many negative comments and reviews, and for what? it was smart of her to think of disabling his powers bc he's stronger than her, and he used that strength to strip her of her agency in the past, but she needs to be in control this time around. and she wasn't the one that mixed up the poison? so far she's been very fair, methodical and suspicious, as she should be. idk if its agenda or just lack of comprehension, but that ire over the poison should be directed towards the writing and the coroner, not her character
a 17/18yr genius self righteous no fault almost universally adored fl (mind you for all intents and purposes she grew up sheltered and has no real world experience). i too don't mind an OP mc but dis was too much, add the moral high ground and the preachiness and the bubbly ml who worshipped the ground she walked on, and i had to check out halfway through.
i'm glad to have stumbled upon your review, it is very solidly written, would like it twice if i could!
oh look, another 'fl is drugged and begs ml for sex' scenario 🙄. seems to be this director's specialty. he needs a painful knock on his bald head. I couldn't even enjoy the whole 2ml tied to a chair watching them get it on while drugged himself bc of that - and that was a fun scene
fl's brother really murdered the love of his life bc of his country? he was ready to stand there and watch her get publicly SA'd too. since he was gonna be exposed and die in the next ep anyway why couldn't he have just saved her. smh, republican dramas and their nonsensical propaganda.
