I have seen comments like that only on X too, when it's jst a melon, talking about his height to reject him is like ridiculing him when he is also aware abt it, also in lost u forever also people said this wen he got casted as xianglu but he then shut everyone's mouth later with his acting that people loved him so much as xianglu. So its really unfair to judge n reject someone like that. I can also judge so many choices here for xjx for various reasons then as I m also novel reader, u say if their fans would attack me or not??

The height doesn't matter much as long as the ML has a bful face and more than that acting skills to look arrogant, scheming, romantic handsome with peach blossom eyes, these r the things highlighted in the novel, not his height, I have read the novel too n knw his height was not mentioned as much as his face n arrogant lazy appearance which matches tanjianci. And at the end, it's the platform n casting directors which gets to decide it all, so people trying to act as casting Gods here needs to sit back b4 passing judgments, if the fl or ML isn't of ur choice, best thing is not to watch the drama n be happy with reading novel n imagining ur favs forever in it.

TAN JIANCI TAN JIANCI!!! TAKE A BOW 🧎🧎. What an actor! What a mind-blowing performance! U deserve all the awards for today's performance. Pls give him all the awards in the world👏👏

Woww! There really is!! I wouldn't have noticed if u didn't point it out here. Such intelligent n artistic thought. Very few people would have noticed it.

U r not seeing the complaints? I saw few here only. Idk wat ppl on douban or other platforms r saying bt looking at the low douban scores I felt people had downrated it due to those complaints only

Now this explains the reason behind all of our complaints of this season and synopsis of this seasons all cases in few words.
Producer Zhang Yiyun and screenwriter Zhang Lai talked about Under The Skin 2

When people used to talk about Chinese crime or suspense dramas, the keywords that often came to mind were gloomy tones, retro backdrops, and middle-aged male protagonists. However, Under the Skin doesn’t conform to any of these “standards.”

Producer Zhang Yiyun explained:
“Traditional crime dramas often focus on realistic styles, hardcore reasoning, and strong plots to tell stories. But we’ve been exploring how to create a non-traditional crime drama in terms of narrative style, visual aesthetics, and thematic expression. For example, we avoid overly complicated cases, gruesome criminal methods, or overly brain-twisting reasoning processes. Instead, we focus on the dramatic changes in character fates and relationships, using them as the core suspense and plot twists. The show emphasizes the emotions and humanity behind the cases.”

Zhang Lai said: "Writing about crime is not to showcase evil, but more importantly, to explore the multifaceted nature of humanity. Good and evil stand side by side, but love is the antidote to redemption, and the law is the thunderbolt that punishes evil. This is our ultimate message."

The Under the Skin series tells its story through Shen Yi's perspective, so the puzzles are naturally solved by him." Zhang Lai added: "'Drawing the heart' is actually another level of exploration for a forensic artist after capturing the likeness and spirit of a person. In the second season, Shen Yi aims for breakthroughs beyond his achievements, using this method to make society better."

Despite its open-ended narrative, Under the Skin 2 takes a different path in the mystery genre, focusing on elements that resonate more deeply with audiences.

But still it seems they r under pressure for the popularity of this drama hence doing all kinds of promotion tactics n jia ge even said that if popularity soars to 30k then they will talk Abt s3, it means drama is expected to have more popularity than it's having rn.

If the drama is good by the end, the neutrals can vote it high, there r instances where drama opened low n then went high. I hope it gets better becos uptil now it was actually mediocre with only 2-3 cases which really were touching. Also people seems to b pissed that du cheng is passive in this season mostly. So they downrated it probably.

OMG! I jst saw shenyi broke the ckt heat index with 9.32 in vlinkage. I guess last I saw zhao lusi's duan wu with this ckt index, which I think was highest this year!?

That was about zhang wanyi, she was saying.

She warned her much later wen she was dumped by that jerk n she lost hope n understood that he is jst a scumbag

Police drama again? Which one? Rn no one even knows wats his next project is bt we didn't even talk here above that his next might b police drama.

Ji sung absolutely was gr8 no doubt. But I wasn't even doing comparison here. They both belong to different countries, different languages, I clearly told here abt chinese remake, how can ji sung act in Chinese remake? N abt the fl of Korean drama, I didn't like her or the pair. I jst liked ji sung only. Korean dramas make their fls too ott, shouting or making faces that makes me not watch them now. I m sorry if u like her bt it's jst my opinion n it can differ frm urs.

I disagree. She cheated on her best frnds trust too n was whitewashed in the end without even an apology or redemption.

Exactly

Actually the past story wasn't made clear. I felt in betraying her bestie even after knowing that man was a jerk n two timer for wanting to snatch him from her (as this was what she told she wanted to do) she wasn't being a victim but a partner in crime with the jerk, bt wen she realised that she is actually getting played by jerk n won't be able to snatch him, then she gave up. In the end white washing her by putting all the blame only on man wen she was also equally wrong, i found it little absurd.

It goes both ways for sure, but what I asked was the starting of thier story, I meant they were best frnds, right! Then idk in whose life that jerk came first, but whoever it was, didn't Ao Li knew jingjing also likes him n she herself said she wanted to jst snatch away jerk from her, means she wanted to win against her, so she clinged on him n didn't leave him even wen she knew he was a jerk n two timer.

I liked the ending of Ao Li and jingjing case, but I didn't understand one thing, why the hell Ao Li even after knowing the scumbags true colors let herself get entangled with him in first place? It wasn't for saving jingjing ofcourse, so why would she betray her best frnd?

This scene, felt so bad for Ao Li here.

What do u mean, there would be no episodes for 2 days!? 😭 It's not fair to keep 2 days gap for a suspense drama. Also after 2 days there would be only 1 episode per day! 😭 JCT pls ask those penguins n kiwis to not torture us this way 😭
