Four Stars

*sigh jinxia sneaking in with uncle gai... Yeah they were going to get busted. It was the right decision of Lu Yi to caution Lanlan about the life in the palace and telling they can not meet too often. YSF surely wld be searching any opportunity to drag them down. YSF really can kill two birds with one stone when he catched Jinxia, Dr Lin obedient and Lu Yi too. WAIT WE STILL HV MAO HAI FENG ALIVE WITH ZHAI LANYE. They probably will appear in one of the episodes after this one. Hmm the Yan Senior looks so frail and he must be wicked during his prime and now his son, YSF, the Senior depended on him, was more evil than him. I was at Yang Yue informing Master Yang abt her and uncle gang disappearance part , OMG I KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. LU YI WAS GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO SOLVING THE CASE AND YSF WILL USE JINXIA TO ASK HIM TO STOP PURSUING THE CASE OH NOOOO. Please I want Yan Shi Fan to be defeated. Please let all of people in Jinxia camp be alright.

Dirt Everywhere

There is dirt everywhere if one goes looking, and it seems like Dong Jae may have found more than his share in the drowning incident to the Segok Station and the Hanjo Group. And Chief Choi appears to be the thread that connects it all. I can’t help but wonder about that phone call between Tae Ha and the Chief; what was said; whatever it was got her so spooked, she went behind Yeo Jin’s back for copies of the report. She could’ve just asked her for it; this is not to say Tae Ha himself didn't do something to Dong Jae. We already know the Chief and Tae Ha are more than capable of creating a ruse to benefit their causes. I wish Yeo Jin didn’t believe or trust in the Chief so much. She’s only bound to be disappointed. I was so relieved to see Dong Jae alive, but with that last scene -- nooo, he couldn’t have been murdered, could he; he better not have gotten himself murdered, please be okay Seo Dong Jae. That cliffhanger ending, tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Same Love, New Place

We enter this episode meeting Teh and Oh-Aew as they say their last goodbyes to Phuket, their hometown. They are in a committed relationship with each other and share sweet, funny moments. Teh shares excitement about moving to Bangkok, while Oh-Aew seems reluctant to leave the beautiful island with its ocean and close proximity to his family. In this episode, we get to explore how both characters begin to cope with life in the busy city of Bangkok while also starting their college years. I love this first episode for its gradual pacing as well as its development for both our main characters in this time and space. I feel like within the hour the audience was allowed to really feel for Oh-Aew. The symbolism of the last scene really struck me. It is as if Oh-Aew is witnessing a fear of his, to open his eyes and not see Teh by his side. The episode does a good job at introducing new characters, who will most likely add to the complexity and drama that I foresee in the later episodes. One of the things I loved about the first season was its cinematic feel and its gradually paced storytelling. I'm definitely seeing that in this season as well and I am excited to see where this all goes.
