Shiguang Dailiren II Episode 9 Discussion

Loved the new direction this episode took, I'm really interested how the season gonna wrap up

One thing I didn't quite understood. At the end did Cheng Xiaoshi and Li Tianxi ran past each other on the crosswalk or was that some metaphor (with the Inevitable Destiny title screen showing right after) and they didn't actually ran past each other?

Maaaan... am I the only one that feels this season is just REALLY dragging the story out and refusing to progress? We've seen Lu Guang/CX tackling himself like three times now, I just want to know what happens AFTER that already!

The flashbacks this episode really didn't feel necessary, they didn't tell us anything we didn't already know or deduce except for a few things, and they could've been done in way less time than this episode gave them. I mean, did we really need that maniacal laughter montage at the end? Was it really important to retell most of the twins' story as a fairy tale? Each segment only gave one piece of new information sandwiched between repeated scenes and plot points. And they weren't even revolutionary reveals or anything, like we still don't know who Tianchen's friend is (an earlier comment on this thread it's confirmed to be Liu Min's brother but I honestly didn't get that from the episode at all??), or how exactly the parents were killed. I literally only care about Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling, and the show is just refusing to give them screen time. If they at least made the new characters any interesting it wouldn't be so bad, but they're just not. I cared more about the basketball player's family and friends from the first season than I do about this crazy cop guy and psycho pink-haired boy.

interesting episode but i really hope this ending wasn't another misleading cliffhanger and cxs is actually gonna change the past and save lu guang...we've yet to see what a major intentional change could do to the timeline and im so curious. the pacing of this season is stressing me out tho, these next 3 episodes better start actually advancing the present plot bc idk how they are gonna wrap this all up in time. is the 3rd season confirmed?

@ConstantReader no, I'm too, one of my friend drop the show until it's finished arriving, this season is dragging the story to fill the position for 12 episode we should have gotten answer about how the powers of lu Guang and CX works, what was the trip they went in S1 , we did get Director msg after S1 that S2 will answer these questions.

I'm confused is Liu Min Tianchen's friend from the flashback or not? Their personalities don't seem to match.

I'm still flabbergasted by how bad this episode was.
If I try very hard I think I can see what Haoling wanted to do, but the way and style he did it was bad.
The thing is, Tianchen killed his mothers, he already hated her at the time as much as he hated his fathers, right? Because she was really seeing the "professor" and cheating on his father. So he doesn't want to revert her death, she doesn't care about her, equally Jian Qian has no reason to revert his wife death because she cheated on him. They're both just angry dudes.

But again, couldn't Haoling give this information in another way? This didn't needed to be a whole episode, he didn't need to make it a "tragedy" and appeal to emotions like this. There's noting special about their circumstances. They're just two typical angry dudes.
And that laughter... that ridiculous laughter... it's really hard to accept that this was written by the same person who wrote the first season, it's so ridiculous and embarrassing! I can't see them as "humans" like all other characters anymore, they're just crazy villains.

This episode should be 5 minutes scenes between other episodes.


And before I forget, the time line makes no sense.
Bin Chen was already a cop before Jian Qian left? And he was already engaged? How long ago that happened?

@PaninaManina I don't think Li Tianchen's mother was really a cheater. It was revealed that the neet was the one who was spreading gossip that eventually got back to her husband. It was revealed that she was definitely a liar though, so I'm not exactly 100% sure that she wasn't

@Quanda1eDing1e Situation doesn't change. Tianchen killed his mother and hated her the same way Jian Qian probably feels cheated by his wife.
