It. Was. Good
"We are both people who want to change the result,
but the result
should be liberating other people
instead of controlling other people.
This is the true purpose of our existence."
- Shen Yi, episode 28, Under the Skin season two
I am happy I watched this. The acting is fantastic, the stories are unpredictable most of the time (as they should be), and I wasn't bored ever! I didn't skip scenes, I didn't fast forward. This is the first drama in a while that used up every second to be compelling. There were definitely cases that were more interesting than others, but each appeals to a different audience. And if Shen Yi can give us his mystifying smiles, smirks, or shake up a suspect or two like he has a whole other personality, I'm here to stay.
I want people to watch this who think they will in enjoy it, and people who don't, to not. Then we can all be happy.
Also, I didn't need this to be a bromance (and I love bromances as well as a good friendship btwn guys), and I loved the story the way it was without considering if there was a bromance or not, but they just HAD to go and give us a practical confession scene at the end of ep 28. Essentially, Shen Yi - What I love about the Beijiang Branch? You. - to Du Cheng. I almost felt queer baited here. I'm not complaining. I just hope it doesn't affect a season 3.
