I don't know. It seemed more and more like Shen Yi was the savior understanding every criminal's thoughts and DC was relegated to being the white knight rescuing SY when he forgot the most basic of police procedures (don't go in alone). He even managed to cure Li Han of hoarding with one little talk session which I found unrealistic.

I saw the two-week break as "thinking time" for Shen Yi. He didn't face any discipline for his actions and spent it playing psychiatrist with a killer until he saw the error of his ways. (I had to laugh, though, at one of the later scenes where SY and Kai Yi were talking and it got so intimate that I seriously thought Kai Yi was going to lean over and kiss SY. Then I remembered that it's China so that wouldn't happen, but they came as close as they could to showing it. I don't see the BL in the series like some do, but in that scene I sure did.)

I was wondering about bike helmet laws in China. I'll just put that down to my personal annoyance and not blame the show for it, then.

May I just say I loved your two comments! I also liked S1 better, though I skimmed the last few episodes. I really disliked how they made Shen Yi so perfect that the others weren't really necessary, except he managed to be a complete idiot getting caught every single time so Du Cheng had to rescue him. How Shen Yi escaped being suspended is beyond me. (And why did he never wear a helmet when he rode his bike? I think that drove me more crazy than anything else!)

See my comment under Yue's comment a couple comments down for how I felt about the ending of Kai Yi's arc if you decide to finish watching.

I really wish it were possible to see how this season would have gone with the original writers.

I don't remember exactly, but it was maybe 14. Everyone knew but the twins and their friends except for Hong Si A's boyfriend. He figured it out.

No they didn't.

I agree. I didn't really like how they tried to make Kai Yi sympathetic through Shen Yi's character. They weren't alike at all. Shen Yi never orchestrated someone's murder like Kai Yi did, nor did Shen Yi ever do anything illegal like Kai Yi. The script made it seem like Shen Yi was turning Kai Yi away from a life of crime when he'd already committed crimes. Shen Yi possibly turning to the dark side is not the same as what Kai Yi did.

Thanks for this info. I'm disappointed in the original writers not being retained. I wish I could see how their ideas would have developed the show.

I normally like romance in my dramas, but I think I like this drama better without it. Shen Yi and Du Cheng's relationship (I see it more as mentor/pupil or big brother/little brother, but I know others disagree) is really too interesting to spoil.

Do you know why there's a rule for a year between seasons?

Do you know why the original script writers left?

Oh gotcha. I haven't, either.

Check his profile page. He has a long list of dramas/movies with main and support roles. He's been acting a long time.

Thanks for those clues. At least we don't have to worry about DC being stuck in that alley bleeding until S3 starts! He can be getting a nice long rest in the hospital. Being the superior of Shen Yi would be exhausting.

I think if they were going to have a cliffhanger ending for S2, which they did, they had better have already planned for S3. It would be too cruel to leave Du Cheng bleeding out in the street with Shen Yi walking by.

And what was with Du Cheng little chuckle at the end? That was a little weird.

It took me a minute to understand what that picture was implying. There had better be a S3, that's all I can say.

It's weird because I kept looking at him trying to figure his face out and maybe that's why. He really does resemble Leo Lou.

Same!

I'm glad that that's happening. It's appalling to think of teachers feeling they have the right to beat students (or parents beating their children).

What a brave young lady she is. I was appalled reading about what she's been through. In what world is beating young students OK? And how are people growing up thinking they are at fault for everything that happens to them? I'm sure this isn't happening just in China, but it is heartbreaking to hear about it nevertheless.

I understand how it can take a long time to recognize depression in oneself, because it happened to me. Too many people just don't understand that it isn't just "feeling a little sad." It is a mental illness and just like she said being positive won't cure it. I hope her honesty here will have an impact on those who look down on mental health as a real issue that needs to be understood and talked about with kindness and understanding.

I'm so glad she's had loving support around her and that she is finally in a place to be treated without having to hide. Maybe more people in public life will have the courage to do the same if they need it and have loving, supportive people, fans and media on their side (thinking of all the Korean entertainers that have taken the drastic step of suicide).

I pray that she will have a good long rest and that she will be able to completely heal from any and all causes/symptoms and I look forward to seeing more pictures of her with honest smiles on her face and a healthier body. And I hope the "norm" of skin-and-bones actors/actresses can just go away. Entertainment should be fun and healthy for those doing it and those watching.

It was a horrible family! I felt sorry for the son (I haven't finished the arc so I don't know if he killed his mom) except that he tried to kill the pregnant "girlfriend!" Nobody comes off good in the whole case.

I have realized that the watcher in Asian dramas has to do a lot of filling in on their own and ignoring of logic. But with a realistic drama like this one I want to see the sense in it.

But the mother loved her son. Wouldn't she try to find out if there was a way to treat him? Or wouldn't the son, although the son doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb.

So the father says the son has azoospermia and can't have children in his lifetime. I googled to see what it was and apparently there are different reasons for azoospermia and there are treatments that can make having a child a possibility. So why was this not mentioned? When the son was genetically tested was this information about treatments not given? This father, so desperate to carry on the family line, never bothered to ask a question or do a quick google search? That makes no sense to me.
