I think they gave everything interesting they could think of in the first season, that everything they were left with is a bit dry in comparison.

Script: It's not that it's bad, it's just that S1 was filled with explanation of how Shenyi does what he does, that in this S it's not that special or unique. He draws from blurry images or a covered face caught in security cameras and skulls but it doesn't feel as good as it felt in the S1.

I personally think they didn't do themselves justice with putting the first case as the first case. It's so beautifully written and done on the psychology of the characters and it's so complicated that you don't know who to root for. Even when you tell yourself the law is the law you keep wondering if it's fair. Also the murder method was so interesting and difficult to figure out. Everything after that falls short because of how good it was.

It feels a bit random at times even tho the cases are interesting. Like Li Han's story is so real and well written on the psychological part. I could see myself in her, being lost and afraid, but it felt out of place. We didn't get to see her a lot before so we didn't see any signs that her character is going through some things.

I'm wondering what they're gonna do with the girl in the red dress part of the plot and the weird stranger (Fang Kai Yi). If it gets messed up then I'll be disappointed cause Tan Jian Ci is a great actor and can deliver, guilt, losing oneself to ego and playing g0d, so well. We already saw a glimpse of it in one of his conversations with Du Cheng.

Acting is good:
I think Tan Jian Ci is a great actor. Really good in emotional scenes but just as good with sassy moments.

I hoped Jin Shi Jia will change a bit and have more charisma. He is good with the emotional parts but when it comes to giving orders or just standing there, he looks like a child that doesn't know what to do with his hands.

Zhu Jia Qi is great. All the product placements fell on his shoulders and he was so natural. He is so good in that role it feels like he is Jiang Feng.

Lu Yan Qi did so well with her story. Better than I expected.

Overall the acting is good. All supporting actors did well. All the guest ones did well.

Directing and Fight choreography is good.

Editing is a bit harsh on the eyes. Color grading-color correction is too bright when you look at windows at day time.

Overall, I'm satisfied with it. I didn't expect anything more cause I felt like it'll be hard to match S1. I might add to my review when the show is finished (English isn't my first language so sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes)
