Someone please explain Love Me If You Dare

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 !:rofl::rofl::rofl:)
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. :no_good_man::no_good_woman:
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? :tipping_hand_man:
