well i can somewhat get how you must be feeling about this show's progress.....its not a bad thing though since there are huge amount of shows airing or are coming soon

yea it got a bit slow in ep 5 and 6.....Its not that you are confused. Considering normal human behaviour, if something is dragged for too long it gets tiring for our mind.
The concept of jihan and ahjung falling for each other but not being able to express how they feel is getting a bit draggy atp....writers should quickly wind up this scenario and bring a new twist that could hold on viewers.
My deduction is that this will be a bit hard to watch till ep 8 but from ep 9 you will see a new twist that will be the main base of story in ep10.
So if you can hold on until then....it will get super fun from ep 10 according to my deductions.
IF they created such good plot from ep1-4, I believe everything's gonna be fun from ep10 or even ep 9

I desperately want to see him in main role which is cold but not a bully at least. A romance genre!! I think he would kill it ~

NO
she only installed the virus so that the money gets tracked and she will know where the money actually ends up at the last.
As according to the normal scenario, the money would be returned back to people who has right over it, but we all know that sometimes there's manipulation and it ends up with the powerful person, here Q, who doesn't have rights over it. So as to prevent it, the officer asked Kiko to install some virus or something so that she can track whether money goes to people as planned or not.

I think the story again became engaging with kiko's part. In last season, we barely got the back story of Kiko. This season presented her whole life to the viewers and I must say Kiko's character and its story was indeed really good.
I must say I'm gonna die with curiosity one day, not knowing who exactly is Q. I hope in S3, it finally gets revealed.
Just a bit disappointed that this season we didn't get to see anything about Noda Koji.....but that's understandable since chen zheyuan is so busy with all those romance dramas.

The whole DETECTIVE CHINATOWN franchise is really a masterpiece when it comes to set-up. The movies and series being connected and characters being introduced in a very interesting manner with depth. The timeline coinciding and even the romance is in phases with little cute interactions or cameos.
It's a fun watch if you know what's happening in their world. Like Q's connection to the characters, Tang ren and the people connected to him, Qin feng and Kiko's romance, lin mo and sasha's duo with that Fox lady- Ivy doing shady things and now one more villain added- THE ONE.

I think both Q and Ivy's appearance in Season 3 will be much anticipated.

thanks for this!!

I was also expecting a change in production style but ig they kept it as it is

bcuz s1 cases were quite fascinating to watch....in this season, they are quite predictable

yeah the storyline this season is quite good....its like a complete opposite vibe of season 1

4th movie?! that's good to hear cuz i especially liked the 3 movies
They were really funny!!

You explained it so perfectly! That would help a lot of people watching this the first time. Wish we could pin your comment

season 1 is better for me cuz the cases are a bit predictable and not really that fascinating.
If you are going to watch 1-8 eps then I would suggest you to watch the rest of the eps too....since they are also really fun

that's how they do it....just like in season 1. There's no single main lead in this drama actually. a few of the top detectives like lin mo, kiko, noda koji, etc are there who are fighting for the top1 place in some online ranking which is currently held by Q. They help each other in this process too.
Q is also the same person lin mo is searching for, who killed his parents.
That's why although Lin mo is a primary and significant character, its still not his drama alone. If you have watched season 1, you would know the director's production style. It's indeed a bit weird though

this game is only getting better and better with each episode

lol but that's somewhat the intent

I'm somewhat disappointed with the director.....its like the actors are doing a good job but the set up in itself feels so lacking. If you haven't watched the original version, you will always feel like there's something missing. The same elements or plots as original version are not used properly here to create a good storyline which is disappointing.
However since next episode they are going to introduce a new idea , different from the original. I hope that makes it better. Here although the emotions of the characters are perfectly set. Like we know on what ideology everyone is working on. However the set -up is very vague. Leads barely get any time together. The 2nd ML and FL is more shippable

when Jihan said "young and rich, tall and handsome"
I was like: Ricky im nida
they literally added one of the most famous kpop line.....that was quite fun lol

totally! That's the only thing that can happen actually.....FL is gonna end up with Inha, not taeho. as for the female that could end up with taeho is only heejoo.
So there's only 1 option but tbh I don't think he's gonna end up with anyone. They may do get some scenes together but not end up ultimately

you woudn't with that Judo lady existing in the class

that makes sense!
