I think season one is much better. It's a lot more fresh. The dynamics is better too. I would highly recommend it.

I agree that it is not unrealistic to resent his dad in the situation. But the ML is too good to be real in so many ways all through the show. So I disagree that the initial behavior is in character for ML. I think that part felt forced because it goes against the ML's defining characteristics and it dragged on. He suddenly changed his mind without any evidence otherwise anyway, so it's a waste of an hour in terms of narrative flow.

I just binged this in one sitting. It's so much fun and the end of the story was surprisingly touching. The last part of the show is a teaser for a next adventure. I'd be happy to watch a 2nd season if they make one :)

Yes, exactly! I wish they'd just cut that part and have 15 episodes. It would be a much better show.

I took a break and am just now watching the last case.. The ML's behavior towards his dad just made me lose all good will I have towards the show. How can the ML just believe the worst without even trying to investigate? I liked the show because of its warmth and a lot of that comes from the ML's endearing kindness. But the last case made me think of him as a hypocrite who treats strangers better than family. I will still finish since I'm so closed to the end. But the show is kind of ruined for me

I finished binge watching this show. The first 6-7 episodes are really gripping. I can't wait to find out what's next. The last few are a bit of a letdown by comparison. The finale in particular really pushed suspense of disbelief too far (for me). It's still overall very entertaining and the cast all did a fantastic job. I'd watch a 2nd season if there is one :)

Ok. I just binged the first four episodes. There aren't enough funny parts for the show to be a comedy but what's there is great and the bright spots of the show!

I think I would describe this show as over-the-top action. The action looks cool in a stylized way, but it requires suspense of disbelief. The story is kind of "iffy" and does not qualify as a thriller (to me), but it's fast paced and the cast makes the show very enjoyable as long as I don't think too hard :) I think I will finish binge watching this tomorrow

I just started this drama. The first episode feels really uneven. The ML did a great job playing his stoic no-nonsense character. His interactions with his current and ex co-workers are so funny. The other two former agents are hilarious too, and the chemistry between the 3 is wonderful.

The daughter's storyline at school seems unoriginal and lacking in comparison. I was tempted to fast forward, but I am worried I won't be able to follow the plot.

Does the show stay uneven like this where the comedy outshines the darker/more serious parts? Just wondering if I need to adjust my expectations and watch this as a comedy instead of a thriller.

That's good to know. Thank you

I have this on my watch list and just realized it's a lost tomb show. Does the story ends with a cliffhanger? Lost tomb shows have a tendency to not have a real ending, which I really don’t like, so I'm a bit hesitant to start

I typically like to accumulate episodes before starting but I really want to watch this. I am a huge fan of Namkoong Min (since Good Manager) and my preferred genre is mystery/thrillers. I have re-signed up for Hulu/Disney+ on July 4th just for this show. I am in the US and Hulu only has episodes 1 and 2 right now. Should I wait?

I'm in the US and without VPN if I want to watch on my TV screen. I can try on my computer with VPN but I think I'll wait.

I signed up for disney/hulu again thinking I'll get to watch this for my July 4th weekend. But no. Only trailer is up. It won't start till July 9th. I'm annoyed :(

My favorite genre is costume mystery with no/little romance. This was recommended to me after I finished Zhan Zhao adventures on that board. I just started and I really like the FL. She is smart and cool. I do not like the ML at all - top close-minded and self-absorbed. I'm guessing he'll learn soon. It's a really promising start

Any news on which service bought US rights yet? I only have Netflix now and got a promo offer from Hulu to rejoin. Just wondering if I should sign up for Hulu/Disney since I will gladly pay them if they let me watch this show as it's released

Thanks for the rec. I've seen it already and like the show. I agree it's one of the few shows that ended stronger than it starts.

Good to know ripe town is good. It is on my watch list but I haven't found motivation to seriously start. Longest day in Chang'An is on my watch list too though I'm only so-so on political intrigue. I think i will probably start eith Kill my sins, then Ripe town or Vendetta of An. I've seen Towards the truth, League of gentlemen, Judge Dee and Wanted detective already.

Thank you!! There are a few I haven't seen yet. I'll definitely check them out

Thank you for the recs. I have seen both, but it has been a long time since I've watched Ancient Detective. I don't really remember the cases anymore so it'll almost be like a new show :) I'll go find and watch it.

I am having a bit of a costume mystery withdrawal after finishing ZZA and Tang Mist and Tang dynasty occult mysteries. I tried Veil of Shadows but didn't like the vibe and decided to drop it. Does anyone have recs on costume detective shows like ZZA or Tang Mist (preferably with no romance)? I can rewatch ZZA or some old Justice Bao or Strange Tales of Tang dynasty. But I'm hoping for something new.
