So far IMHO the best scene of S2 has to be Qinxiang's meeting with the young monk Jingyuan. It was sincerely written and felt sad and real. All the rest is seems contrived from the cases to the forced emotional conflict between the leads. I am super annoyed that after 3 years of marriage they are so out of sync they need advice from a brothel. I am interested in murder cases not some kind of potential equipment malfunction mental or otherwise.

Of course - and that may or may not be the case in this instance. We probably won't really know until S2 more or less finishes airing.

No one can really tell you at this point whether the S2 main case connects to S1. So probably best to just start with S1.

I am not a huge fan of the romance tropes so far either. The couple dynamics are sweet enough but some of the angst between them feels contrived. I wish they just focus on the crime solving without the conflict/misunderstandings.

Yeah that’s what I am hoping. It’s too early for reveals or such big hints.

Yes he for sure has an agenda - I just don't think he is the spymaster.

I think its a misdirect. Its too early to reveal the Peacock.

Ah ok, tyvm. I believe Tencent only makes it available for mobile devices. Ok well I won’t buy it then.

Seems like he has a crush on Chu Chu.

Does anyone know if the express episode can be watched on a big screen or is it on a phone only?

Yeah its unfortunate how they are trying to connect it to S1, which most people have long since forgotten.

Honestly it would be very disturbing if she weren’t!😱😂😅

I forgot about the hair. This is better.

I am just happy Chu Chu dropped the baby doll voice.

It is one of the saddest dramas I have watched.

Wow! That is a lot of angst to suck down in one binge!😅😂

There are certainly worse pages but it is not a race to the bottom. There were some pretty nasty comments and personal attacks on here as well. I remember blocking at least one or two users bc I got tired and bored by their hater rants.

As far as I know it’s not against the rules to rate based on an actors appearance positive or negative so while it reflects poorly on the reviewer, it’s still their opinion and a legitimate rating.

This is completely on point!!! It is the number of 5 star ratings that look suspect. It’s not imo a 5 star drama either.

I don't understand - why are only 1 star reviews more invalid than 5 star ones?
The platform decides when to open ratings - TLP was on Tencent it has nothing to do with VOA on Youku.
