The lead up to the finale, The Exorcist's 3rd Meter!
I most likely get ripped with this review, but here it goes:
STORY
The Exorcist's 2nd Meter showcased unpredictability that the past two HK dramas Forensic Heroes IV and Airport Strikers definitely lacked. It continued where it left off from the previous instalment, The Exorcist's Meter, portraying Ma Gwai's road to being a true exorcist, which this definitely revolved around. One thing that hurt its potential, was the inconsistent pacing of the drama, patches of fast and slow builds of story development. Another fault, is Liz's revival, no explanation of her coming back alive, hopefully explained in the sequel, if she appears again. By the ending, it did leave interest for the supposed finale, with the Kwok and Ling's son appearing, most likely coming for Ma Gwai and most likely the return of Shek Kam Dong.
CAST
Kenneth Ma's role as Ma Gwai was definitely present, as each episode was featured quite prominently, always shows great humour, that did overshadow the female lead, Mandy Wong's Dr. Chong, who by no means was non-existent, but would've liked to be shown more for character development, however, it definitely leaves the prospect for more of her in the upcoming finale. Ho Zhai was definitely hard to read at times, but Hubert Wu, portrayed the dark character well and succeeded. The chemistry that Kenneth has with Mandy, Hubert and Moon is strong, and it showed here. Moon Lau as Pui Pui Na may be the making of her as an actress, her charm was pure and towards her farewell, was heartbreaking. C Kwan as the Wind Lion God was humorous. Props to Julian Gaertner as Billy, definitely comedy relief when he pops up. Zoie Tsam as Thalassa doesn't have that killer look to resemble the villain as her intentions was confusing but does enough.
MUSIC
Hubert Wu's music is always touching but the hum song by Kayee Tam was always playing in my head. Kudos to the OST track listing!
REWATCH
Only rewatch if connecting the pieces together with the prequel, The Exorcist's Meter and the supposed upcoming finale, The Exorcist's 3rd Meter.
