I need season 2

This is the best show ever. I love the story, I love the cast, I love everything about this series. I’m too invested in this series and I can’t believe this series should end so fast. Thank you so much to the writers and everyone who is involved in this series. I really enjoyed every minute and every moment while watching this series.

"FUJUN" seductively.

Xu Jingfu doesn't fully trust anyone (that's how he got his position tbh), and he handed the portrait of Chai Anxi to Wutuo King's man, asking them help him in eliminating this Anxi fellow. Ahhhhhhhh! Just look at these fourt walking around in the city, He Yan holding XiaoJue's hands ( like holding sleeves), HY and XJ entered the clothing store (now I remember exactly what will happen here!! I'm so excited! 🤭), while CL took STT away so they wouldn't become the third wheel. Yeah this annoying lady came in the shop too (a character made, for everyone to hate), just look at her expression, just because you are the daughter of the Censor, does it mean that you can have whoever you want? XJ only have eyes for his wifey HY. This lady saw XJ and was trying to flirt with him. Literally while HY was standing at the side, watching with interest as what will XJ will do, ahhhhhhhhh! He ignored the lady totally and just looked towards HY with a smile and told her that Honey, if you like this dress just buy it 🤭. Lady Yan, Whatever dress HY was touching her maid says (we'll take this), 🤣, she's gonna be so embarassed later, and XJ saw everything she did, but he knows HY is not the type of person who would stoop so low at this lady's level, she's calm. HY walked towards Lady Yan intimidating her with a smile, and went inside to see their more expensive dresses [the famous Mermaid silk celestial gown] (I wanted to see it after reading about it in novel). Just as she went inside, Lady Yan grabbed her chance to talk to XJ, Yan Min'er (young lady, you name quite matches with a Miner), XJ's ignoring her. When HY chose a dress again (the maid interrupted again), and finally HY got a look on her face which says that this fucking Lady Yan is getting on her nerves now, tricking her is so fun🤣, she's got just 2 braincells which are attracted to XJ, so what will she use to deal with HY🤣. While she's threatening HY with her identity (Censor's daughter), but HY was straightforward and mentioned her Upbringing seems lacking because she's Squandering her ancestors inheritance like this. Ahhhhhhhhhh! XJ just went inside asking HY about what happened, and when Lady Yan started giving her useless excuses he was like "I'm asking my WIFE, I only trust her" 🥰. The Dress costed "100", he was like "ONLY A HUNDRED, AS LONG AS IT PLEASES MY WIFE, IT'S WORTH IT." Did you notice the way he was looking at HY while holding the dress in front of her🌝 "Looks beautiful". There's a banquet in Cui Mansion and that annoying Yan Lady is here too, Do noy worry annoying lady, Even though Cui's nephew and niece in law are late, but they'll still shine. A Breathtaking beauty. That seductive "FUJUN" was smooth as Honey 🍯🌝.Ady Yan called HY a Temptress😂, and saying she relying on her looks. Xiaojue was totally enjoying all this, while HY was in a dilemma 🤣. "I ALSO LEARNED CIRCUS STUNTS"🤣 this is exactly HY. XJ knows whenever HY says this "Fuuuujunnn" she'll be asking for something 🤣, she's so good at making him do everything she wants😂. Ahhhhhh he'll play the Zither she gave him🥰. The young ladies are pestering HY, while XJ and CL went to take a look at HY, CL really be helping his ship. She really be boasting about what her husband does to appease her 🤣. She need no help, she can save herself 😂, and XJ thought since we're here let's hear it to the end what more nonsense can she spout. [IN THE NOVEL: this was vague, The Art of Taming a Husband, when they returned from Jiyang city, almost all Cui ladies were learning from HY tricks to tame their husband 🤣]. And here she's telling the Art of Taming a Husband to these young ladies. XJ be really standing there and listening to everything with a smile 🤣. I'm laughing so much at how He Yan is telling them these lies, while XJ and CL was smiling hearing it all 🤣. Lady Yan was convinced by He Yan's words🤣, she was in a trance, but the lady beside her, burst that bubble🤣. XJ's eyes widened when she mentioned the Erotic picture 🤣, she really has no filter at all. " ACTING LIKE A WOMAN IS SUCH A CHALLENGE , SITTING STRAIGHT ALL DAY", 🗣️ Acting like a woman? As if you're not a woman🤣. XJ's men have located Chai Anxi, while HY said she won't go (it'll arouse suspicion). CZ's maid is quite handy, fighting an Assassin. Ah I understand, this Assassin fled as soon as he saw the Xu character on Chu Zhao's pendant, he was a Wutuo men, sent to kill Chai Anxi so he was not supposed to hurt Chu Zhao (who is Xu Jingfu's man).

I'm only giving it a lower score because I KNOW SHIT STARTS HERE AND I AM LIVING FOR IT! But if I consider this already a perfect episode there won't be a better grading for the next ones.

Dealing with mean girls

This episode has He Yan dealing with the biases and cliques of society women. She actually adapted quite well considering. Their means to tear into her pride had some effect, but overall the things they prided themselves in she actually had little interest for. The biggest takeaway is that her ‘husband’ was entirely too handsome so she had to fight off all his fans.😂😂 Tbh, I was waiting for her to hit up the jewelry for rich girl to buy in the shop. It was a nice smack back to ask her to settle her accounts before leaving. Xiao Jue truly came through with the zither playing and making it clear all promises for his wife was kept. She noticed that he had brought along the one she bought for him. 🥰 I also liked his response in the shop that his wife’s words were the only ones believable for him. He paid a lot for that dress but she was stunning in it. I liked that he got her food, knowing she didn’t really eat. When Cheng dragged him to ladies group he was rolling his eyes at her lies, but when she started to broaden their horizons a bit outside of the ladies in training books, etc. I think he realized how special she is and that she is beyond defining.🥰 He is captivated with her as much as frustrated at her audacity. But compared to those sniping women, she was a breath of fresh air. They get news about Chai Anxi’s location and follow up on it. The place is ablaze but they are thinking he faked his death.They were closer than they knew to finding him. The assassin that Chu’s guard fought with was Wutuo. I am thinking he was the server that chatted with his mentor earlier. Chai Anxi is alive for now, but he is aware that his life hangs by a thread.

Three Stars

The only thing that doesn't sit well with me is that even knowing that when one of them says no, nothing escalates, and even knowing that their no is more like "ok I don't know how to deal with all of what I'm feeling and I'm scared I'm making a mistake, it still bothers me watching those specific moments.

Finding the chip

When they running throughout the city, here and there, it was a sight to see that whenever they interacted with civilians they could see just how much people liked them and support them. So many civilians just lent them food or money even transportation (cars), giving them a ride, this is the biggest thing for celebs, to see how much people like them. The imposters were two, Wang Zulan and Na Xie, but really they played so well, no body couldn't find anything wrong with them until he seperated himself from Baby went to the subway. A whole day running around here and there, it was so funny that Deng Chao and Chen He didn't even had a useful phone to begin with, cause there was no tracker for them, but even then, just as they got their hands on a tracker phone, they ripped Zulan's name tag and reached the place of IT first, and others didn't believe them and ripped their name tags, Li Chen ripped Chao's and Chen He's name tags and he was eliminated🤣. The suitcase's inside was cool, shining.

Blood letting can only go on for so long

then it's curtains. They are on the trail but it's a long way to get to the abattoir and all the people in vats. Feng is so pale but his mouth is still constantly moving. The masked master is eventually subdued but hung up and being interogated he knows from nothing. Beiming dove for the pill which looked a little hard to swallow, Is this his miracle cure?

EP2 review, overall, 8/10

EP2 review, overall, 8/10SHINE is undoubtedly excellent in terms of photography, transitions and casting, especially APO and SON. I prefer ep1 more because in terms of editing and scriptwriting, the logic is very good and the rhythm is also well controlled.However, in EP2, it's obvious that there were issues with the editing and rhythm again. The old problems of BOC still exist. There are two parts that are too long. First, the opening plot about KRAILERT and his ex-lover could have been told in half the time. By saving the time, the story of KRAILER and NARAN could have been told more fully. This way, the final part wouldn't be so exciting and confusing. Secondly, the part where TRIN is organizing the book is a bit too long. APO performed very well and did a great job expressing the subtle emotions. However, I think more editing could be done in the French story line. This part of the story is very important for TRIN's life choices and can better highlight TRIN's struggles.My two favorite parts: The first one is the TRIN class part. The tense atmosphere between the student and the teacher is great, and it can also be seen that APO's acting skills have improved even more (including the part where he picks up books).The second part is the passionate section between KRAILER and NARAN at the end. Apart from being a bit baffling, it's still quite good.The point I have some doubts about is: TRIN's girlfriend passed away not long ago. She was drugged and kissed once, and then fell in love with tawan. I can't understand it. Or will there be some additional details to this story later? Otherwise, it would be even more baffling than the love story of KRAILER and NARAN.

In conclusion, I can give EP1 a score of 9. But I can't fully trust BOC.

After waiting for two years, we finally saw shine's release. After going through a series of issues such as shooting delays and rewriting the script, i finally got to see my favorite actor APO return to the screen. After watching EP1, I'd like to share some thoughts1. Photography: I really like the overall shooting quality of this time. It can reach the level of film shooting. In terms of color tone, scene and transition design, it has all reached a very high level.2. I'm quite satisfied with the plot, at least in terms of the entire narrative structure and pace of the ep1. It quickly unfolds the entire storyline centered around the character TRIN, who is connected to every character in the show, making people look forward to EP2 with great anticipation.3. The casting of the actors: APO's portrayal of Trin is extremely accurate. Also, I really like the casting of Krailert this time. It's just perfect. I love his piano performance so much. Naran and victor's performance was also very natural. I'm looking forward to seeing more of their parts.4. Acting skills, I must give APO and SON a score of 90 in ep1. APO performed both the French part and the interaction with senior executive at the end very well. In France, he was a melancholy and indignant young boy. In Thailand, he was a rigorous, patriotic and mature economist. You can watch his performance. Even his eyes expression are different.5. Favorite cut:-The part where Trin and his French girlfriend finally embrace each other in silence;-Krailert the piano part;-Trin took off his shoes and tried to blend in with the environment.In conclusion, I can give EP1 a score of 9. But I can't fully trust BOC. I hope it can still maintain such a high level in the next eps. No more too many cliches and outdated plots that follow the trend.
