An Equally good Season 2.Just Loved It!
If you are here reading this then most likely you have already watched Season 1 so you want to know what S2 has to offer!This review and my comments is mostly a comparison to S1, as S2 can't really stand alone.So you better watch the series in the right order.
Let's start!
Music:Intro/Outro.Songs and Visuals.Nothing new.Intro theme is the same(!!)as in S1!I was surprised and impressed in a bad way!Lacked inspiration to compose a new one??I didn't like outro song and any theme in-between.Anyhow as i started S2 right after i finished S1 the intro song was too familiar and i ended to really like it so i wasn't annoyed much.
Production/Direction/Cinematography:In a whole new level compared to S1.Classes higher,aesthetically beautiful visuals.Everything impressed me greatly.Once again the -cliché much?-dancing in the rain scene was beautifully choreographed and i rewatched it several times.
Cast/Acting.Great and natural.The new additions were excellent in their roles too.
Characters:Not much to say about the 3 Musketeers.The "iron triangle"Loved them even more.
In this Season we've been introduced to 2 new characters.Our Ml's old Mentor(Shifu) and his new pupil, trainee.(Eva)
Mainly the 2 rivals of the Team especially in the first part of the Drama.
Both chars are way too controversial.Having their hidden agenda and seems they came to make Team's life harder!Lol.
In every episode both made me have different feelings about them.I strongly loved them.And then i hated them.And then i sympathized them.They had me in cold/hot all the time!
Few more words about Eva:From the moment she first appeared on screen,i didn't like her.I guess i missed the naughty Never,the Judge and i saw Eva as her replacement.Well its hard to let go a lovable character.
She was arrogant,strong-headed and way too competitive.Also i found the flirting approach towards Ml too aggressive.
But ofc this was only her outer layer.Once again the Team has found a valuable friend worthy to replace Never!
Story/Plot: Season 2 follows the exact same pattern as S1.So for someone -like me-who loved Season 1,this wasn't a bad thing.It was a cosy feeling cause i was too familiar.The Team works for the rights of "minorities",taking over difficult cases.In early episodes mostly the 2 new chars are always the opponents in Court.And it was really interesting to see them fight against them.In latter episodes cases became more personal.Intrigues,plots,traps and a few nice turns and twists was the detail which kept me overhooked this Season too!
I didn't expect the way the series ended..It was what we say "an open ending"But after all an open ending is not necessarily a bad ending.
Iam not ready to leave this team.Seriously im gonna miss them so much.Whenever they decide to release another Season(s)...
COUNT ME IN!
