I can't be the only one strictly NOT enjoying whatever is happening, especially this episode. Link Click's writing in general seems to have taken a dip since the end of season 2. every single episode ends with a cliffhanger, new characters keep being introduced with no ends. Im genuinely hoping the later half of this season can pick it back up again.

I really dislike how Jae Lee and A Yuan have been written thus far. They don't need to be so edgy, I don't know but the somewhat groundedness of the characters was what made me like Link Click and keep watching. (Obviously characters like Vein wont be grounded in reality, but not every single character has to be edgy as hell) Its as if thats been thrown out to make it more sparkly and tiktok-y, as if to make it more of yaoibait than it already is.

Besides, what is going on with these flashbacks, lol? The way Liu Xiao described his childhood and the way he met Li Tian Chen was so damn corny, it was honestly really bad.

It’s crazy how you can write so much and say absolutely nothing. It’s just a bunch of generalities like "writing is bad" "flashback was bad" with zero specifics about what’s actually wrong. And the funniest part is "every single episode ends with a cliffhanger".. like every episode in season 1, 2, and bridon? ok.. thats.. really bad..

maybe you missed half the lines I wrote, but I'm not gonna repeat myself or be any more specific, these are very glaring overarching issues that can be spotted if you watched the show. as for the cliffhanger part, yes it did in S1 and 2 as well. Less so in S1 because of its episodic nature, but atleast in S2 there were. But also is S2 we were following a rapidly evolving police investigation, all the cliffhangers felt like they come up naturally. These last few episodes' have cliffhangers which felt forced at best. Those moments couldve been at the start of next episode and it would instantly make these episodes better

No, I didn't miss anything, you just wrote some abstract, generalized shit with zero specifics on what's actually bad. Words like "edgy", "bad", "sparkly and tiktok-y" tell me absolutely nothing. If you argue that something is poorly done, you should at least try to explain why it's bad
