I had the TCs on almost the whole time so I wouldn’t get scared 
I love the TCs, they lighten every situation and help me feel less alone.

When I don’t understand a drama (or don’t care to watch all episodes) I go to reviews, and read the ones that says; spoiler/ click to read. Those are a dead giveaway that they said too much about the drama. I also go to comments, and if I see those gray lines/blurred comments, I open it to see what they wrote, and basically I usually find the answer I was looking for. You never know until you try.

This is one of my favorite dramas, and I love how the comment section is obsessed with Chen Mo & Andy.
Ok, it’s been at least 6 months since I watched it but I’m pretty sure I remember this right…
The woman in the recording wasn’t Jian Yao. They pre recorded it with a double so they could patch that into the live feed. They needed time to get her out before the building blows up.

She didn’t know about the plan, but I reckon Simon could have signalled to her that he wasn’t Allen when he said he still “hadn’t tasted her” and kissed her, she said earlier in the drama that he had a “tell” in the way he finishes his kisses. Just before he shoots her he said, “baby, don’t be scared, it will all be over soon” not something a psycho killer would say! She’s supposed to be big brained enough to read the tiny signals.
Of course the viewer didn’t know either as it was a big bait and switch.
Although it was a BIG stretch (and quite messy) at the reveal and the intro of Hang Yu Meng, Zi Yu’s assistant, who said she made the recording, maybe we’re supposed to assume she’s a s**t hot special effect wiz as Zi Yu is a computer wiz and between the two of them pulled off the CCTV thing.

I knew it, but didn’t mentioned it bc Asian writers are different when writing dramas so I had my doubts they would be so creative for once. We also have a lot of movies like that, and even in real life where the wife wants to kill the husband and the husband himself or a double wearing the victim’s outfit, make believe they were killed; by staging his death. The wife makes a sorry a*s scene crying, and then the husband comes out alive; driving the wife completely bonkers bc she knows she’s going to rot in jail.
I figured that’s why she had the same clothes too bc is very easy to get same outfit she had used before. Even here in US they have those same scenes in movies/dramas, that you already know what comes next, and even finish/ start sentences the actor was going to say in the scene, and that’s when it gets boring to watch these repetitive scenes in movies/dramas.
I’m glad vivi got that part cleared.

I wouldn’t exactly call the drama repetitive or predictable, but it got tiring. Like I was just DONE with the shooting and the psychopaths. The writers would just suddenly shock us by getting someone shot. That’s what I hate about Asian drama characters going to America. It’s an excuse to have guns brought out.
lol now I feel guilty for making @ninjas_with_onions feel like watching it
This is exactly why I like the drama Any time things got too heavy for me to handle, someone would say something funny and I’d start cracking up.

I’ll never forget back in 2012 when I watched BIG that the SML mother dies in the ‘‘states’’ by an African American guy during a hold up/robbery, and I was taken aback by that. So I was saying to myself; if A korean mother dies in SK, they die of a disease or a car accident, but if they are in USA MOST likely; they’ll die from getting shot and killed during a robbery. There are no white truck of doom or disease they can die from in USA like in Korea bc ppl from SK in USA, die by a gun. I thought i was the only one that felt that way. lol

I think if they died in a car accident in the US, there’s really no point of them being in the US. And the White Truck of Doom is native to SK ONLY. Every time a writer wants guns, they go to the US. Everything else happens in SK.

No worries, I’m very tolerant of dramas and nothing phases me, there are no bad dramas in my world!
The parts up to the flower cannibal story arc was good enough to carry the show for the weak last 1/3.
The strong characterisation of the 3 leads and their interactions were excellent.
(the lovestruck younger sister just reminds me That’s @kdrama2020ali !
)
I thought that Andy would have featured more in the show given how much of a big deal they gave to his introduction(A.I. and a bulletproof car). Like using him to do some number crunching stuff to aid solving a crime.
It was inevitable that the show’s feel would change to a more serious mood once it wasn’t about solving other peoples cases and now focuses on the major case that directly affected them than the development of characters themselves.
The hospital shoot out was OTT in which everyone dies except the main characters who apparently can be shot multiple times and still survive!
All big explosion special effects were cheap and unrealistic they were funny.
All the westerners acting were so wooden. All the western actors spoke only English, all the Chinese actors only spoke Mandarin and yet throughout the whole show whenever there were conversation between a westerner and a Chinese person they spoke only their language and would have entire conversations in this manner and still understood each other just fine!
They did overuse bait and switch scenes in which they lead the viewer to believe one thing then in later scenes cancel it out with another scene.
Xun Ran dies in big factory explosion later on NOT REEEEEAAAAAAALLY!
Allen shoots Jian Yao later on NOT REEEEEAAAAAAALLY!
Big finale: hypnotised FBI sleeper shoots everyone, LITERALLY bodies piled upon bodies the very next scene (not even later on) NOT REEEEEAAAAAAALLY!
Once you might get away with but three times will leave viewers confused, cheated and angry. 
Totally different to plot twists which relies on reveals to progress the drama and doesn’t require any resetting on the part of the viewers. Like the reveal of each level of the mastermind behind the mastermind behind the mastermind, none of which invalidated something that happened to the previous “mastermind” just that they were not the ultimate baddie.
And in the end I get to play movie critic out of it, so I guess that also a positive?

Naah, if you really want to watch some good psycho stuff, watch Flower of Evil or He is Psychometric. I rate them higher than this cdrama.
Especially Flower of Evil, it’s kinda similar in that the MLs are both tortured souls and accused of murder and being psychopaths. However, I think Flower of Evil managed to connect better with the audience; I was so emotionally involved with that drama. Couldn’t decide whether to trust him or not, the father-daughter relationship that had me crying…and the way they mixed love and crime…it was amazing.
I really didn’t like all those wide angle shots in Love Me If You Dare.
Me too! He virtually disappeared towards the end…I thought he’d have a bigger part since they specifically shipped him to the US but I was disappointed. Was waiting for him to start roasting people again I guess they shipped him only for that scene where he shields ML and automatically drives him to the doctor’s house.
The way they shot that scene though…with the close-up of the Audi logo, the headlights turning on, dials lighting up and the engine revving…now THAT’S product placement done right! It was one of the coolest scenes in the entire drama I was all “ANDYYYY MY HEROOO where have you been all my life??!”
what have I come to, fangirling over a car

lol I never noticed this much because that’s how lots of us converse. Most of the people around me are bi or trilingual and though I understand them I can’t speak some languages well so we converse in whatever language we’re comfortable with
