This review may contain spoilers
I need to take a shower after watching all the filthy things they are doing.
Warning this movie is for mature audience onlyI had to get over the Chinese dialect used in this movie. This portrays the sketchiest characters I have ever seen.
So many wow moments. The violent action scenes are shocking. Makes me want to wish the hunted does not die and the police and gangs fail to catch him and her. But sadly no…
The scenes are well captured in the night. I especially loved how they made use of the shadows during the apartment complex chase scene. It felt so old school to project the danger is coming.
Watched this on tubi. Fewer annoying commercial breaks than on Amazon Prime.

Watching it because I liked Season 1
My favorite parts of the variety show are:1️⃣I’m always asking....where are they filming? Those places look amazing!! I want to travel there for fun. 🏝⛲️🎡📸
2️⃣Oh the shining moments in episode two and three. I laughed so hard... my whole building and outside passing by could have heard me rolling. 100% COMEDY GOLD! Really takes your mind out of life if you need a good dose of laughter to get your mind out of a bad day.
3️⃣You all gotta give it props to the competitive game both teams have. You do see the older Geges up to no good. They are in it to win it. Those hide and go seek games really get you to the end. It so happens to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics game airing at the same time I am watching.
4️⃣ Applauso. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽The costume and production crew got the most creative in making them look like ghostbusters, extremely dorky men and whatever macho or unmacho looking men. No spoilers. I thoroughly love the way they have to dress for their games. Is there a taobao or aliexpress store selling those ridiculously looking outfits?
Things that need work:
1️⃣The brotherhood has not evolved yet in these first three episodes. Wait and see how they bond. I can say that in Season 1, there was an attractive feature that these actors got along pretty well despite the age gap.
2️⃣The younger team was totally changed. I only knew of one actor from Go Ahead...SWL. In my opinion, his personality is exactly the same as how he portrays himself in Back to the Fields Season 4. Introvert. Extremely physically active. Not much of a slapstick smiley goofball like the other didis. He is quite serious, maybe sensitive? Nervous? Confused? Fans of SWL...He really does not add much to any memorable scenes in the beginning. His teammates, on the other hand, do express themselves better. Maybe it is part of the editing process that we don’t see. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoy watching! 🌺

Caught my attention
The script writing reminds me of She and Her Perfect Husband. There are multiple storylines that are cut into the episode. For a short attention, you are engrossed and left wanted to watch what’s coming up next.Music is good. Fits with this spy genre.
I have a decent guess which is the enemy. Live the use of past and present characters to shape the story. The way the opposing teams meet spy vs national security. Way fun and exciting.
I personally watched this show after seeing how well Yang Bin Yan performed her role as a doting mother and wife in the examination for everyone. This role as a busy head of national security and mother is well played. I like the smart they put in her character.
My review is that I can see myself finishing this show. It’s surely a good change from rom com. I’m thinking more of this spy genres is coming out especially with Hidden Blade (2023) expecting to premiere soon during the Spring Festival.
