I was wondering the same thing after they introduced the Narcotics division. I am hoping she is a CI, because the alternative may be heartbreaking.

Mainly from the emotions. They got engaged, were super happy, and then she went to the real world. It showed them together, yet separately, and that was rather bittersweet. Hence, the crying. I also cried at the end, but for good reasons. I was essentially in a cage of emotion and cried it out. 😅

Yes, he is the same. I don't remember them explaining how he was there at the beginning, but at the end, he said he was going to come to her world for her and did.

Same! I am also glad I bought express a while ago. I really enjoyed this drama, even though I did cry my eyes out towards the end. Yeah, the second couple was rather... meh. I will definitely be rewatching this at some point... highly entertaining and enjoyable.

I think they should have named it "Bad Decisions" because wowsers, were there are a lot of bad decisions made throughout. Overall, this is a good crime drama. I think what really made this drama good was showing that small choices can snowball into tragic outcomes (for both the antagonists and the police). The frustrations with the cases were fairly accurate reflections of how things can go when corruption is at multiple levels.

I have a feeling he swooped in right after XZY's dad was dead to "support" her. But in reality, it was for him to control/clean up the situation so his wrongdoing was covered up.

I totally agree. I was like, why... why is he showing up?!

All I could think of is once again how much this mother is hurting her son (ML), granted, unintentionally, but hurt is hurt.

It is not "hating" to point out a person's actual flaws. The SML is not a good person. He manipulates and does shady things all the time. He constantly undermines the ML in their professional lives for something that happened when they were children (and he doesn't even know the actual truth of the matter).

Regarding the FL, she has set clear boundaries, and he tramples them constantly. If he genuinely liked her or were a nice person, he would not do this. The scene where he forced the lunch on her was well done. She clearly stood quite a distance from him and was polite in her speech, but it was not friendly/showing interest. From someone as astute as he is in business, he wouldn't miss these actions. He is forcing his apparent feelings on her, not really because he likes her, but because it will hurt the ML.

I don't hate him because he is a complex character and not operating on complete/accurate information. However, I do not like him.

He is more than annoying.

I recommend watching season 1 first. It helps to understand the characters better and how they relate to each other. So far, it doesn't seem like the cases from this season are connected to season 1, but there may be some things connected.

For real! He needed to leave a few episodes ago.

I have seen plenty of posts (elsewhere) about their chemistry and how they should be together, so I see vanilleur's point.

Whenever this line is spoken, it makes me uneasy. 😅

Were you expecting some deep throat action? There was nothing wrong with them, and the scenes were well done (agree with TanRess).

I had similar thoughts as well. I'm glad Chu Chu was able to perform the autopsy herself, because I didn't trust him.

I watched on iQiyi as well, and I took that "wishful thinking" comment to imply a one-sided love. It is probably a difference in wording used by different translators.

At first, I thought he was being that way with her to egg on XZY, but now it's taken a turn... a disturbing turn.

This could prompt ML to move even faster to prove his father's innocence, so there will be no more obstacles to them being together.

They are working together, so they are together mainly for work. FL has made it clear (for the most part) that their relationship is professional and has issued some boundaries. He is the one who does things that are mainly to egg the ML on.
