To be honest I’m not sure why I watched this show to the end. To be honest I found it a bit repetitive and dragged out. But I suppose you’d enjoy it if you liked the cast members.

The whole season was a bit hazy for me. This is usually what happens in the season-by-season format of Western shows, when minor storylines start to be fleshed out and the story has to spread its attention over more topics. That being said I thought the end of this season was more intriguing than the end of the last season, but that’s also because it was more of an unfinished cliffhanger. But at the very least, I was more excited to watch season 4 than I was season 3. I’d say that the writing in season 3 was overall a bit better than season 2 but not as good as season 1.

This was an alright show. Like many variety shows, it’s more enjoyable if there are celebrities that you already know and like. I think the chemistry of the cast members was overall alright but in terms of the games there wasn’t really anything that special.

I know I am being very picky with shows lately but I figured I might as well be picky with my time. Anyway the first episode of this was quite cheesy and I don’t think I can sit through another 29 episodes of this.

This drama was interesting but unfortunately it was an unfinished story ☹ I only knew this when I reached the end, as questions are mostly unanswered. Nonetheless, I thought the slow sense of mystery was interesting and I wouldn’t even say that I wasted my time because the build up had me intrigued. Even without a conclusion, I felt like it was a decent place to finish. We don’t have all the answers but we have some hints. Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing that I could do with or without a second season. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’re okay with an unfinished product, and can enjoy the vibes.

This series was pretty fun. I think I enjoyed it because it was more of a travel show than a variety show. There weren’t any games or competitions, it was just about enjoying the trip.

This was a decent mystery. It wasn’t the most thrilling but it was alright. It had some twists and turns that made it interesting enough for me.

This was the sequel to Sparrow, with some of the same actors returning, namely Zhang Ruoyun and Kan Qingzi. I found this drama to be less compelling than Sparrow. I think Sparrow had more compelling acting, while the characters in Insects Awaken didn’t really give room to the actors to be their own characters. It was okay, not disastrous, but it felt kind of generic.

An average procedural crime drama. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the Detective Galileo novels and that disappointed me greatly. These characters are all committing identity fraud. The writers should have just written them as original characters instead of using the names of the characters from the novels. The vibes and styles of the stories were also very different from the novels. Watch this as a procedural crime drama with very common tropes in comedy/crime dramas. I was going to watch season 2 to get it over with but now that I think about it, there’s no reason to put myself through it…
