there is less CGI used throughout the remainder of the story.
whether you pick it back up or not is completely up to you. it's a build-up to a romance story so the plot mainly focuses on that.

no plot holes. clever and emotive storyline that got better as the episodes progressed 9.5/10

yeah unfortunately dubbed. kiki's natural voice is quite pleasant and totally agree that the dubbing does no favours to the drama.

not really a cliffhanger as such, moreso a storyline that has a new direction/ML with a new agenda.

Song Yi is the FL but doesn't play a major part in the 2nd half of the story

rough as in Rural/remote. li myself I find the accent a bit too much. completely a taste preference

I was not interested in the Australian version (Miss Fisher) but very much enjoyed Miss S. Although nearly all the events and things are said are done the same, I found the Australian version a lot more "rough" with their accents and not to my taste. One difference was the painting of Miss Fisher being nude while Su Wenli was wearing a garment in Miss S. There were a few other subtle differences which were so wonderfully adapted to Chinese culture.

I went through the episodes and did a comparison on when the cases finish.
There are 15 cases.
English Subbed vs Chinese Subbed differences:
Case 1-2
Eng. & Chi. - same
Case 3
Eng. - case ends ep 6.
Chi. - case ends ep 7 - 13 min into ep.
Case 4
Eng. - case ends ep 8.
Chi. - ends ep 9 - 29 min into ep.
Case 5
Eng. - case ends ep 10.
Chi. - case ends ep 11 - 39 min into ep.
Case 6
Eng. - case ends ep 12
Chi. - case ends ep 13 - 39 min into ep.
Case 7
Eng. - case ends ep 14.
Chi. - case ends ep 16 - 9 min into ep.
Case 8
Eng. - case ends ep 16.
Chi. - case ends ep 18 - 7 min into ep.
Case 9
Eng. - case ends ep 18.
Chi. - case ends ep 20 - 18 min into ep.
Case 10
Eng. - case ends ep 20.
Chi. - case ends ep 22 - 29 min into ep.
Case 11
Eng. - case ends ep 22.
Chi. - case ends ep 25- 7 min into ep.
Case 12
Eng. - case ends ep 24.
Chi. - case ends ep 27 - 13 min into ep.
Case 13
Eng. - case ends ep 26.
Chi. - case ends ep 29 - 16 min into ep.
Case 14
Eng. - case ends ep 28.
Chi. - case ends ep 32 - 17 min into ep.
Case 15
Eng. - case ends ep 30.
Chi. - case ends ep 34

As you can see from the above, the 4 "extra" episodes is simply a different way of splitting the series and not "missing" in the English subbed version.

The 34 episode version is only available with Chinese subs. These episodes are shorter and thus have the murder cases being solved part way through a following episode. The English-subbed 30 episode version has organised the series neatly with exactly two episodes per murder case. The 30 episode version still has all the murder cases. Some people say that overall there are a few missing scenes but I don't know if this is true and do not feel I missed anything in the story.

thank you for this link! had been wanting to watch for a while so thank you! 🙏

i watched the movie today. it had some nice touching moments. felt very much like a Hollywood movie in terms of production and story line. it was better than most things being made. worth the watch 7.5/10

I'm really looking forward to this! <3

enjoying so far. something refreshingly different.

100% agree with your take

season 1 was a phenomenal act. this is a very different style. In season 1 we had new places, new master fighters, origin stories and an entire world built for us. Season two thus far has definitely focused on a very small aspect of all these elements and focused on a few characters. I'm with you in your sentiments. Hoping they can wow us in new ways for the 2nd half. But I am loving how intelligent the characters continue to be written.

episode 11

thank you for the summary. you saved me 🙏

thanks so much for the reply and explaination - makes sense. I appreciate it. 🙂

love that you loved this. I had a look at your ratings and you've rated quite a few things like CLOY, Hotel de Luna, Joy of Life, MLFTS, and Mr Queen 1/10 - is this just your account to change MDL ratings to favor the shows you liked or did you genuinely find those other series the worst things you've ever seen?
